Exhibit C: IF IT TRIES TO ESCAPE WHEN YOU HOLD IT ONE-HANDED IT'S A BAD MUG. I love my "Actually, I Can" mug but I'm in a constant war with it about not tipping over and covering me in coffee. MAKE THE HANDLES MAKE SENSE. Ideally with an upward tilt at the top for optimal grip.

Its only purpose I could determine was to trap water separate from your beverage and splash you.
Exhibit B: A coworker has a pineapple mug. It has pineapple texture (bumps and ridges) on the exterior. I cannot imagine drinking from that monstrosity without a lot of discomfort.

Exhibit A: A coworker got me an elephant mug. It had a slab of clay attached to a mostly normal mug to create the elephant's head. That slab had an open top and closed bottom and was completely disconnected from the liquid-holding part of the normal mug.

This rant brought to you by me drinking coffee from my expensive-mug-I-was-too-awkward-to-back-out-of-buying-when-I-saw-the-price and it making a FREAKING PUDDLE OF CONDENSATION SO I THOUGHT THERE WAS A LEAK. MULTIPLE TIMES.

bottoms. The bottom having a lip is, I have learned, important. Ideally you want a decent-sized lip. Mugs with a shallow but wide lip can be prone to condensation getting trapped and that's annoying. You CAN get away with it, but you need a thick bottom so the heat transfer is slowed.

and impractical mugs (see Exhibit B). I also have strong opinions about mug handles (see Exhibit C). And don't get me started on the stupidity of handwash-only mugs (also don't look at three of my favorite mugs, I know I'm stupid). The latest, though, is that I have strong opinions about mug
