The 24 Best Coffee Mugs For Superior At-Home Sipping

Whether you're an elite coffee brewer or a Keurig stan, you need a mug collection worthy of your caffeine.

By Christine Flammia and

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.
