"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
One of the most fun things you can do on the internet is shop, naturally, and the experience is made all the better when you're building a collection—a collection of anything. That means you can pretty much always be on the low-key lookout, and buy only when you find something that suits you perfectly. And, honestly, the high you get from curating a collection of cool coffee mugs is robust enough to be considered a hobby.
Does collecting coffee mugs feel geriatric? Sure. Does it matter? Not at all. Those work-from-home mornings are a lot more enjoyable, luxurious even, when you have a coffee mug that makes your morning feel slow and peaceful. Especially while sitting in your corner chair and brewing out of some fancy coffee machine. Investing in items that feel special (and we actually use) is worth all the time, attention, and money we're willing to spend on it.
Coffee mugs are part of the experience of drinking coffee, as essential as the roast and brew. Maybe you prefer making a fancy matcha or relaxing teas at night. Those beverages are welcome in these mugs, too. Whether you're a coffee-brewing pro (read more on becoming one here) or you're just looking for a vessel without any chips in it, we've rounded up the 24 best—and best-looking—mugs for at-home coffee, tea, and other hot beverages of your choosing.
Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
Ember makes the OG temperature-controlled mug, and we have been raving about it for years. You can pair it to the app on your phone and control the temperature to your heart's desire. No more coffees gone cold.
10 oz Stackable Mug
If you don't want to pay $100+ for an electric temperature regulating mug, YETI's best in class insulation will pretty much do the same job.
30 oz Travel Mug
A Big Ole Mug for when I'm sucking that shit down like a big rig driver carrying a truckload from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles.
Ralph's Coffee Mug
A great souvenir to remind yourself of that one time you stood in a 45-minute line for some coffee on the Upper East Side.
Set of 4 Mugs
Get a set to patch the rest of your Le Creuset cookware, or buy them all in different colors for a little bit of controlled chaos. Either way, you'll be living your French countryside dream every morning.
Night + Day Mugs
Low on space? Try getting a bigger place. If that's not in the cards, try downsizing your mug cabinet with Our Place's tidy little stackable mugs.
Coffee Mugs
Made In gets its dinnerware manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, which is one of England's famous old hotspots for china. These are hard-waring coffee mugs that won't chip or fade from now until the day you die.
Mill Stoneware Mug Sets
These give you the look and feel of homemade ceramic mugs, but you don't actually have to know a local ceramicist to get them.
Set of 4 Double-Wall Glass Mugs
For those that just don't really rock with ceramics from an aesthetic or sensory standpoint, how about a glass mug? Williams Sonoma makes a double-walled set that regulates temperature reasonably well and looks damn beautiful on your side table.
One of These Day Mug
If the team over at One of These Days produced a presidential candidate, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat. The coolest brand in American streetwear.
Ti-Single 600 Cup
You'll never summit Everest, but a titanium mug can make you feel like you will. Get the Snow Peak backpacking coffee kit for the full backcountry pour-over setup.
Joshua Tree Road Trip Diner Mug
I mean, all national parks are cool, but Joshua Tree has got to be the coolest.
Waffle House Coffee Mug
Before they sold these on the Waffle House website, people used to routinely steal them from my hometown location. I hope those kids are doing well.
Mug
Franca NYC is known for cool ceramics that are all handmade in Brooklyn. They're the kind of mugs to stock up on over the years—to gift and to keep.
Wide Mug
The thing about getting really into mugs, which I am, is that not all mugs are meant for the same beverage. Partial to making at-home lattes? An oversized mug keeps the froth optimally housed.
Essential Mug Set
Hawkins New York makes great sets of kitchen essentials that are pretty, well-made, and easy to commit to. This essential mug set is made in a few neutral tones, which you can pair with the rest of the drink and dinnerware.
The Mug
New to ceramics but trying to get involved? East Fork is the way to go. The styles are simple but cool, often presented in earthy, color-blocked designs.
Pacific Mug
For tea and latte folks, this higher mug keeps the frothed milk floating and not melting into the rest of your drink. Plus, the aesthetic is very good.
Black Middle Finger Mug
If you want good and fun ceramics for any part of your home, look to Rory Pots. The series of mugs with hands—some giving the finger, some hugging—are quippy and necessary.
Vignelli Mug Set
Recognized by MoMA as icons of modern design, and now they can live in your kitchen cabinet.
Borosilicate Mug, Set of 2
If you're sick of your standard mug, Hay's borosilicate ones are a great way to change it up. The colored glass is a modern (and pretty) upgrade to whatever you've got.
Black and White Large Coffee Mug
Sometimes coffee mugs just need to be pretty, and CB2's color-blocked mug is nothing if not that. It comes in a small and large size, if you're looking to build a set.
Monty Milk Art Cups
For pretty much any coffee-related kitchen item, Fellow is a sure spot to start. The brand makes these cool, minimalist cups that'll test your barista latte-art skills. Or build them.
Porter Ceramic Mug
W&P is another great go-to brand for any at-home kitchen goods you need, including mugs. This one is for those who must, must bring their cup of coffee outside to walk the dog.
