Tea / Coffee Mugs

[L_D]

How many tea / coffee mugs do you have, and do you use all of them?

I think I have far too many, but wanted to see if it is the norm

1 - yes I use all of them.

I have a big mug I always use for tea, and a set of 4 that are my go to ones for coffee. I would happily have one for tea and one for coffee and just wash them before use each time.
On top of that there are a bunch of other mugs that mostly get used by the rest of the family until there are none left.

I am going to do a cull soon I think

At least this many:

And no I don't use them all.

nice

I understand if it is for collecting. Also I've seen people with huge units with 30 odd mugs in them - nice ones acquired over the years or gifts etc. It then has a nice visual too.

Lots of cups stacked up in a cupboard though just 'because' - doesn't seem best use of space.

We keep being bought them as gifts for some reason, so we have loads and the only time we use them all is when we're to lazy to wash up.

yeah this is similar to our house. Often get down to the last few mugs in the cupboard that no one likes, and a big stack of used ones by the sink.

I have a nice set of 4 which I use.

and about 20 others taking up a shelf in a kitchen cupboard for no reason.

Sounds familiar
I'm not sure what else would go in the cupboard if I did cull most of them.

Yeah they're just placeholders until something better comes along haha.

We seem to rotate through our Emma Bridgewater mugs quite effectively. Tea tastes better out of one of those! I use separate mugs for coffee as apparently putting coffee in a tea mug leaves a coffee flavour in there (even after the dishwasher…). Got the usual outdoor / builders mugs as well!

Ah - I forgot about the camping mugs.

I have like 4 at work and about a dozen at home.

I have some aging old mugs I need to replace really, they still work but the art on the side is faded to hell.

I don't like having lots of random ones, so couple of different kinds is best

WTH are you doing to these mugs?

Definitely didn't typo that!

I have one dedicated to coffee/cocoa, one for Bovril, one as a rice measuring device, and an unfortunate one which has been relegated to permanent washing powder scoop duty, the poor bugger.

That reminds me, one of mine is for measuring oatmeal.
