Why does it feel better, mentally and physically to hold a mug by the body rather than the handle that’s literally built into the thing, designed explicitly for holding?
I've been testing this morning. I think it depends on where the handle is pointing and which hand I'm lifting the cup with. I'm looking at 80:20 in favour of the body.
I'm of the opinion you never buy a Brit a mug as a present. They're very personal and it takes ages to find one you really like. Then you accidentally break the fuckin thing
Worst thing ever going round someones house and they say "oh just get a mug out the cupboard" like Indiana Jones and the last cruisade take a newer one it might be expensive or take the old tea stained thing that probly belonged to Grandad who just passed away last week
I've never really thought of the handle being for holding and drinking, but more of a "transport handle", so you can attempt to carry 2-3 mugs in each hand, when you've done a round of brews for everyone.
