Aside from their general shape and ability to hold hot drinks, the best mugs for coffee have very little in common—and that's a good thing, because there are so many different ways to enjoy a cup of coffee, cappuccino, latte, or other espresso-based beverage.
Sure, you want a mug that feels nice to hold and maybe one that looks good on open shelving, but size and material are equally important considerations depending on how quickly or slowly you enjoy your morning joe. For example, if you're a slow sipper, a thick or insulated mug will help keep your hot drink warmer longer, and you might even want to consider a smaller vessel you can refill a few times instead of letting your coffee get cold in an oversized mug. On the other hand, if you chug your caffeinated beverage of choice like it's water, a big mug is probably the way to go, and insulation is a moot point. And for those who have a tendency to set down their drink and forget about it for a while, I've also recommended a smart mug that will hold a hot drink at a specific temperature for up to 90 minutes.
So whether you're a slow sipper, a champion chugger, or you like to take your joe to go, here are the eight best mugs for coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, and other hot drinks. Click through for the full list, or shop a few favorites—and our top-tested drip coffee maker—directly below.
