keep it hot

I like hot coffee.  Not lukewarm. Hot.
I have 2 kids.  They need stuff.
I help them.  My coffee gets cold.
I dump it.  Waste.

I also have a thing for mugs.  I'm quite particular about the mug I use for coffee.  For the past two or three years, I've been using a diner mug.  You know, those durable, heavy, boring mugs.  I fill it 1/2 way up to avoid my coffee getting cold before I can drink it.

For a really long time, I've been searching for a small handmade mug for my morning coffee.  I have looked everywhere.  People like to drink large mugs of coffee, not small ones....and apparently don't have an issue with their coffee getting cold before they can drink it.  I happen to have a friend who is a ceramic artist and recently asked him if he could make my dream mug.  And did he ever!  I love love love these mugs.  They are perfect.  White inside so I can see the color of my coffee.  Small, of course, so I don't waste too much coffee.  A handle. The right size.  And robins egg blue in color.  Perfect.

And, it's a good thing that he made 3 of them because Rowan has already claimed one as hers.
