Tell Me About Your Cups/Mugs/Beakers

[barry1010]

Assuming you are home most of the day and drink hot drinks do you use a clean cup each time and end up with a stack of dirty cups to wash up?  Or do you properly wash up after each drink?

We all have our own distinctive mugs and cups and we use the same ones throughout the day - if I am feeling energetic they might get waved under a running tap between uses (we all have the same drink, we don't swap between tea and coffee).

They get washed up after dinner.  Are you a laid back lazy bum like me or a dedicated one use only drinker?

I'm a lazy laid back bum like you barry xx

Generally use a new cup but......I have a favourite mug which I like for tea. It has a green inside and I just think it makes the cuppa look better😂

Strange creatures, aren't we.

Yes, same cup for us all day even if we inadvertently swap; I've been germ-swapping with my wife for over 60 years now so using her cup isn't likely to do me much harm.

[royfromaus]

Must be a white or glass cup...wash it as soon as the coffee has been supped.

[Patsy33]

Keep same cup for tea through out the day. Always swill it with water first. My OH washes up later in the day.

It's rinsed after every use.  At the end of the day it's scrubbed to stop any build up of stains.

[Redhelen72]

washed after every use otherwise the milk does not steam properly

I have several favourite mugs - depends on what mood I am in

He often uses the same mug, but only for the same sort of drink.  I use a clean mug except for my two breakfast teas.  I will not drink tea out of anthing but China.  All dirty mugs go straight in dishwasher after use.  Cups  rarely emerge from cupboards.  We  both seem to have preferred mugs.  Mine are pretty ones  his are old favourites that I would probably have discarded years ago but he would  complain.

Same mug all day.

[Omg21]

I use the same cup for the day but rinse it out after each use.  It's put in the dishwasher in the evening.

[Barmaid]

Same mug all day for me which I keep topping up with black coffee.

[Hazlinny]

Bewley's Irish mug for coffee, Cat mug for tea - always washed after use.

[Countrylover]

Oh, and my China  ugs for tea must be predominately white at the very least on the inside.  Coffee mugs for me are best beige or coffee coloured inside and out!!  We have far too many mugs!!

[naomi24]

Bone china, clean one every time and put in the dishwasher after use.

[Countrylover]

Coffee for me also has to be in a thick mug!   I know  not why!

[Countrylover]

I'm now going on my morning visit to Wordle!

[sandyRoe]

It was bought in Westminster Abbey shop.  Covered in Shakespearian insults.  My favourite is: Not so much brain as ear wax.

[barry1010]

Our mugs are bone china, too.  My pet hate is huge, chunky mugs/cups with small handles.

[ladybirder]

I have my own china mug which has my birth month on it and nobody else touches it.  One mug of tea lasts me all morning so I have to keep reheating it in my microwave. I have special mugs for visitors.  

However, I have had and am having some more mugs made with my dog's picture on it to give to his walkers. I'm also having one done for my great granddaughter with a picture of her dog on it which I know she'll love.

These are the people that do it if anyone is interested.  They put the pics on clothes etc as well.

Any mug (what's a cup??) used is put straight into the dishwasher. We both use a glass for taking meds at various intervals throughout the day, and that glass is used all day then put in the dishwasher before it goes on in the evening if it needs to.

We have a dozen le creuset mugs which were a gift and are used regularly by both of us for coffee, and four bone china mugs which I have tea in. I'm not a great hot drink person. We had a cull of mugs last year and they're the only ones we now have, apart from four very large ones for tradespeople.
