Glasses and mugs are versatile drinking vessels sized for coffee, tea, or other hot and cold beverages. This category includes clear glass cups as well as traditional mugs with handles, giving you options based on how you like to drink and where you plan to use them. The shape and size of a glass or mug affect how the drink feels in your hand and how the aroma and temperature come through as you sip. Glassware lets you see the color and clarity of the beverage inside.
Clear glass cups work well for lattes, iced drinks, or plain brewed tea and coffee when you want to watch how the drink pours and settles. Mugs with handles are shaped for comfort and everyday use, holding a generous serving that suits larger portions, whether you are drinking coffee, tea, or a warm chocolate on a cold morning. Smaller glasses and cups can make drinks feel lighter and more focused, while larger mugs hold enough for a longer session without refilling.

Only heat-resistant glass is designed for hot beverages. Regular glass may crack or shatter when exposed to sudden temperature changes, so always check that the glass is labeled as suitable for hot drinks.
A thick base helps retain heat, provides stability, and can make the mug feel sturdier. It may also help keep hot beverages warm for a little longer.
Wash the mug with warm, soapy water after each use. For stubborn stains, gently scrub with a paste made from baking soda and water, then rinse thoroughly before using the mug again.
Double-wall glass cups have two layers of glass with an insulating air gap between them, helping keep hot drinks warm while keeping the outside cooler to hold. Single-wall glass cups have one layer of glass and transfer heat more quickly.
