How To Choose The Best Vintage Porcelain Mug For Your Coffee
 

For most people, the next decision is a tough one, which cup to use. If your cup selection looks anything like mine, it's a hodgepodge of different shapes, sizes and even levels of sentimental attachment. For years, I picked the mug that spoke most to my mood, but in recent times, i've started to give that more thought. Does what you drink your coffee out of impact the coffee itself? The knee jerk reaction might be no, but recent research is telling us otherwise.

 

Right color
I'm not going to sit here and tell you what color mug you need, but there is some science that says color can actually impact what you taste in food. Certain colors, like pink and blue, lend to perceived sweetness, while other colors, like standard white, might lend to more perceived bitterness. The research on this is still rather new, so keep that in mind. Do your own experiment at home and brew the same coffee for guests in two different color cups. Maybe they will taste something different in each.

 

 


You do you
Cups, mugs or vessels, it doesn't matter what you call them, but whatever you drink your coffee out of is a highly personal choice. There is no right or wrong cup to use, but there might be times when a certain cup in your arsenal is a bit more appropriate. It just gives you one more thing to consider when making your morning coffee, whether it's espresso, cold brew, hot coffee or iced coffee.

Size matters

Bigger is not always better. When it comes to selecting a coffee mug, think about your needs. If you're drinking this at home and want to avoid having your coffee get cold, choose something on the smaller size, maybe 6-10 ounces, since you can refill as needed. If you're on the go and need to get all your coffee into one vessel, maybe something a bit larger and insulated will do the trick. Think twice the next time you pick up that behemoth cup. Maybe it's time to give the little guy some love.

Right material

The material that a cup is made of should be a big consideration before you add one to your collection. The most common materials used for coffee cups are plastic, metal, glass or ceramic. Plastic cups will retain flavors in time, which will take away from your coffee experience. Metals like stainless steel will be the most durable and do well in the way of heat retention. Glass and ceramic are going to be the most fragile but also offer virtually no flavor or smell retention from past brews. It's really a matter of personal preference and need, but if you're drinking at home, I would lean towards ceramic or glass cup. If you're on the go, metal is a nice option. Let's leave the plastic for children's toys.

Right shape

This is a topic that has had a lot of chatter, but i'll lay out the basics. If you really want the most aroma out of your coffee, tulip-shaped cups that are wider at the bottom and narrower on top are best in class. Cups with this shape also help with greater heat retention as there is less surface area on the top of the cup. For espresso-based milk drinks, like lattes, the preference will be for a squattier cup with a wide opening. This allows more room for the espresso and milk to mix and provide a great canvas space for some beautiful latte art. Standard diner mugs are still a good option for drinking drip coffee. While they might not be the best at retaining heat, sometimes quicker cooling is a preference. The major key to keep in mind is that whatever shape you decide on, you pick a cup that is similar in size to the total coffee you're brewing.

 

Vintage Porcelain Mug Storage Ideas to Help You Stay Organized
 

Use glass-front cabinetry
If you've got it, flaunt it. We love this use of glass-front cabinetry, which puts mugs front and center, keeping them visible and accessible while remaining part of a cohesive, streamlined design. Don't have coordinated dishware? It's okay, just as long as you keep mugs neatly arranged or grouped by size, color, or whatever works for you.

 

Hang them up
Instead of stacking your mugs, install a couple of simple hooks on the bottom of a cabinet shelf and hang them up in a row to keep them organized and accessible. Simple hooks are affordable and durable, and can be picked up at any home improvement store.

 

Add vintage vibes
Fantastic things happen when you decorate the back of an open hutch or glass-front china cabinet with some vintage wallpaper. Use the look to display your antique mug collection-or even a modern one, if you want a bit of contrast.

 

Use a freestanding display
Who says freestanding serving displays can only be used at tea parties? Put your display to use year-round by using it as a way to neatly arrange your mugs on an open shelf or in a closed cabinet.

 

Add cubbies
Are your mugs one-of-a-kind? Give them the spotlight they deserve by displaying them in individual cubbies. This type of shelving can be hung on the wall, or arranged right on your countertop next to the coffee maker.

 

Use open shelving
You can never go wrong with open shelving. Case in point: This artful approach to mug storage from design featuring a mug collection that effortlessly blends in with the decor.

 

Group them on a platter
Organize your mugs without resorting to rows by grouping them on a pretty plate or platter. You'll be able to easily see what's available without having to move a bunch of stuff around when you're looking for something specific.

 

Create a coffee bar
If you have the space for it, go all out with a complete at-home coffee bar. This beverage station design has it all, with mugs conveniently placed alongside coffee beans, tea bags, and appliances so that everything is always right at hand.

 

Add in-cabinet shelving
Make practical use of vertical space in your cabinets by adding in a small shelf that can help you fit twice as much stuff without the need for twice as many cabinets.

 

Install corner shelves
Take a cue add on a few small shelves to the end of your cabinetry. It's a smart mug storage solution that looks like it was always meant to be there, especially if you choose shelves that are the same material and/or color as your cabinets (though a mix-and-match look could definitely also work).

How Vintage Porcelain Mug Are Made
 

How can you make a cup of coffee taste better? Drink it out of a handmade ceramic mug. Making coffee mugs by hand is a little more involved than methods of mass production, especially when the mugs are customized. But the extra effort involved adds a special touch to the mugs, making it well worth it. 

Creating the Mug

Every stoneware coffee mug starts out the same, as a lump of unfinished clay. How much clay is needed depends on the size of the mug. A small 8-ounce mug will need less than a pound of clay while larger mugs tend to need anywhere from a pound to almost two pounds.
After the right amount of clay is measured out, it's placed on a potter's wheel to be shaped. While the wheel spins, the potter uses his or her hands to shape the mug. The exact shape depends on the style of mug. Diner mugs tend to have thick walls that bend in slightly towards the center. Potbelly mugs are slender at the opening, but have a bulbous base. Bistro mugs can be round or tall and slender, with clean, simple lines.
The handle for the mug is made separately, also by hand. It's pulled and shaped and allowed to dry slightly before the potter scores the ends of it and scores the places on the mug where the handle will attach. Scoring involves making marks on the clay so that the two pieces will stay fused together when the mug is fired in the kiln, or oven.

The Logo Medallion

Custom mug medallionA custom mug wouldn't be complete without a custom logo. One method of creating custom logos is to use a scrimshaw process on ceramic.
The technique is the same whether ceramic or bone is used. The artist uses a sharp, pointed object to etch the logo or design into the ceramic.

Glazing the Mugs

Along with the custom logo, the glaze, or paint, on a mug is what really allows it to be unique. When you order handmade mugs, you can choose pretty much any color of the rainbow for your mugs' glaze. You can also choose colors that aren't in the rainbow, such as brown, grey, white or black.
Handmade mugs aren't limited to just one glaze color, either. You can choose two colors, one of the top and one for the bottom of the mug, to create a unique two-tone look. The method of glazing makes it look as though one color is seeping down into the other.

Firing the Mugs

A ceramic mug isn't finished until it's been fired in a kiln. Firing the mugs hardens both the clay and the glaze, so you end up with sturdy, durable product your customers can drink out of for many years to come.
Handmade mugs are usually fired twice. During the first firing, the mugs are unglazed. Heating them in a the oven allows the clay to dry out and harden, so that it is easier to handle when it is being glazed. The second firing allows the glazes to melt onto the clay and to harden.
