This is UTSUWABI editorial staff.
In this article, we will introduce recommended products for large mugs, how to choose one, and how to use it.
Mug sizes vary depending on the product, ranging from 150 to 400 ml.
This time, we will define "large mugs" as those with a capacity of 200ml or more, and we will explain in detail everything from how to choose them to recommended products.
A large mug is a convenient item that can be used not only for coffee and tea, but also as a soup cup.
Large mugs can meet a variety of needs, such as people who live alone and cannot afford to buy more things, people who like coffee and drink a lot of coffee, and people who have trouble leaving their seats due to work.
Also, if you want to replace the mug you are currently using, please refer to this article.

How to choose a large mug
・Select by drink type
It is best to choose a mug based on the type of drink you often drink.
For example, if you are choosing one for cafe au lait, consider adding milk and choose a generous size.
Furthermore, if the inside is white or black, the color of the drink will stand out beautifully.
・Select by shape
A mug is a container for everyday use that can be held up with one hand.
For this reason, the position and shape of the handle are especially important.
If you have large hands, check the product photos and descriptions to see if the handle has a wider space so it's easier to put your fingers in.
・Select by material
Most mugs are made of ceramic, but there are also ones made of glass, wood, and enamel.
We recommend choosing one based on ease of care, such as good texture and microwave-safety.
If you want to enjoy the color of your drink, choose one made from heat-resistant glass.
If you are going to use it outdoors, it would be a good idea to use different ones depending on the occasion, such as ones made of wood or enamel.
・Select by color/pattern
A mug is like a partner that you use on a daily basis.
Therefore, it is a good idea to choose your favorite color or pattern.
Because it is large, why not choose one that has a pattern all over it and that makes you feel good just by looking at it?
How to use large mugs
Large mugs can be used in a variety of ways depending on their size.
Even if your favorite mug gets chipped, you can use it for a long time with some ingenuity.
・Use as a vase
The tall, large mug is easy to use as a vase.
It's stable, so it won't fall over, and just adding one or two flowers will make it look nicer.
It's also a good idea to choose flowers that match the color and pattern of your mug.
・Use as a storage item
Deep and durable mugs are also suitable as storage items.
It is useful as a container for sweets or coffee sugar, or to hold long items such as cutlery upright.
・Use as a cooking utensil
Mugs can be filled with ingredients such as pancake mix to make steamed bread, cupcakes, etc.
Since you can cook it and serve it as is, it is convenient for busy breakfasts or unexpected guests.
・Use as a pen holder
It is often used as a pen holder.
Because it is tall and has a wide mouth, it is a good shape to hold stationery such as pens and scissors.
Just seeing your favorite mug every day will make your life more enjoyable.
