My criteria for a coffee mug is: 1) Not too big...hate my coffee getting cold, 2) Shape, fits nicely in the hand. The shape of the mug is perfect to wrap your hand around. The finish and weight of this mug are exceptional. I found a single mug in my travels and loved it so much looked for it specifically and found it at Wayfair. Would absolutely recommend. Of course,​ shipping was prompt and items securely and safely wrapped.
