How to Choose Cups and Mugs

A practical guide to comparing cups and mugs by capacity, material, handle, design and intended use.

Decide what the cup is for

Think about whether the cup will mainly be used for tea, coffee, water or serving guests. The intended drink and serving style can help narrow the options.

Check capacity

Cup capacity is usually expressed in millilitres. Ask for the stated capacity of the exact cup rather than estimating from a photograph.

Compare material and care

Confirm whether a cup is ceramic, melamine or another material. Ask for the manufacturer's care guidance, including any dishwasher or temperature limitations.

Consider quantity and matching pieces

For a home or business, estimate how many cups are needed at one time and whether matching designs or replacement pieces matter.

Product specifications and care instructions vary. Confirm details for the exact item before purchase.
