It's all about Mugs

Cappuccino tastes best when served in a pucker coffee cup, don't you agree? I can bet my bottom dollar - not that I have one;) - nevertheless, if there was a coffee taste test, the tasters would give identical coffee vastly different reviews!
We all have our favourite coffee mugs, right? I do and will give up almost anything for my family and friends, but not my coffee mug! The family gets a dirty look, and they quickly put it down. In the same token, it takes all my strength not to grab it out of a visiting friend's hand, so I 'sweetly' say:

Sorry, my friend, but that's my mug.

Do you also agree that coffee just ain't the same when the wrong mug is used? Wrong/right, who's to say? I like a heavy mug, preferably with an inscription. In the same breath, don't expect me to enjoy a cup of tea from the same heavy coffee mug!
I think you get the picture by now. I am very possessive over my coffee mug! I will settle for the one on the right-hand side, but I am not happy at all if both are taken.

I recently met up with two old school friends at one of my favourite places in the Valley of a 1000 Hills, The Stonehouse in Botha's Hill - a coffee shop, restaurant, lifestyle centre, and nursery all-in-one.
There were coffee mugs galore, but before I show you, I'd like to share a piece of cake and a cappuccino or simply a frothy coffee.
Stonehouse serves Lineage Coffee, a local brand from Hillcrest, a little down the road - strong and perfectly roasted coffee that has won a couple of coffee awards!
Coffee tastes even better when paired with a delicious slice of cake in the company of friends, don't you agree? A delicious Carrot cake, a decadent Lemon Meringue Pie, and a featherlight Red Velvet Cake.

After coffee, we wandered around their little lifestyle centre, admiring the coffee cups adorned with 'food-for-thought'. A couple of favourites -

Bloom Where You are Planted
Make Today count
Keep Growing
Life Happens, Drink Coffee

I hope you enjoyed the virtual coffee and cake and decided which coffee mug you would pick! Please also let me know if you enjoy a strong dark roast or something a little less strong, and what do you enjoy having with your coffee? I have such a sweet tooth, so it may not be what I've shared here with you today!

Lastly, are you as possessive over your coffee mug as I am?
