Cups and mugs

What is the difference between a mug and a cup?

The main difference between a mug and a cup lies in their size and function. A mug is generally larger, with a thicker structure and a handle, ideal for holding hot drinks like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Cups, on the other hand, are usually smaller, more refined, and often used for serving tea or espresso. Mugs are designed for everyday, casual use, while cups often have a more elegant appearance, perfect for formal occasions or special moments.

Is a teacup a mug?

While a teacup and a mug serve similar functions, they differ in design and size. A teacup is usually smaller, with a delicate shape and often comes with a saucer, making it ideal for formal settings. A mug, on the other hand, is larger and more robust, making it perfect for everyday use. Both have their place in the kitchen, depending on the occasion and the type of drink you’re enjoying.

What do you drink from a mug?

A mug is a versatile item that can be used for various beverages. From coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to more unconventional drinks like smoothies or even soup, mugs are practical and functional. Thanks to their larger size and sturdy design, they are perfect for generous portions of your favorite drink, whether it's a morning caffeine boost or a relaxing evening herbal tea.

Mugs: not just for coffee!

Although mugs are often associated with coffee, their uses go far beyond that. Mugs are perfect for serving all kinds of drinks, from tea and hot chocolate to herbal infusions. You can also use them for serving warm soups, hot ciders, or even desserts like mug cakes. Their versatility makes mugs an essential item in any kitchen, suitable for both casual and special occasions.

How much liquid does a cup hold?

The capacity of a cup or mug can vary depending on the size and design. Standard teacups usually hold between 150 and 200 ml, making them perfect for a modest amount of tea. Mugs, on the other hand, typically hold between 250 and 350 ml, making them ideal for larger servings of coffee, tea, or other beverages. At Dutchdeluxes, our mugs come in various sizes, ensuring you always find the right one for your needs.
