Serious coffee drinkers can take their choice of coffee mugs seriously. After all, sometimes how your caffeine fix is presented to you can make or break your day. What you drink, coffee, tea or some other caffeinated drink, is not particularly as important as what it’s served in. Some people may see a particular coffee mug as some form of psychological comfort. Your friend may have a favorite coffee mug with a cute cuddly animal on it that she has “bonded” with over the years and she insists on having her coffee served in. Without that specific mug, the coffee just doesn’t taste the same. Bonds are formed with specific coffee mugs that make them very important to one person. If you work in an office, or anywhere that offers a selection of coffee mugs, someone might have placed a claim on a specific mug and heaven forbid should you touch it.
