There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh brewed coffee first thing in the morning. Whether you like a little caffeine boost or prefer a calm cup of tea, a mug is the first thing you’ll need.

From espresso to oversized, coffee mugs come in all shapes and sizes and are suited to the type of beverage you’re drinking.

While drinking coffee is the most obvious use for a coffee mug, there are many other ways to creatively use your mug.

Standard Coffee Mugs

A coffee mug anywhere from 8 to 10 ounces is a good size for your favorite drip coffee. If you consider yourself a more serious caffeine drinker, you may want to graduate to an 11 or 15-ounce cup. We break down standard coffee cup sizes below and share the best uses for each.

 

Espresso Cup

Espresso is the base for most specialty coffees – meaning that fancy vanilla oat milk latte starts with a simple shot of espresso. A shot of espresso typically comes served in a 2 to 3-ounce cup (also called a demitasse) with a small handle. Espresso cups are narrow at the base and wider at the rim, designed to help concentrate the flavor of the shot.

Best for: Shot of espresso

 

Cappuccino Mug

A cappuccino is typically prepared with a single shot of espresso and an equal amount of steamed milk. Then, it’s topped with foam. Cappuccinos typically come in a 5 to 6-ounce cup that has a narrow base and a wider rim. Both charming and traditional, cappuccino mugs are usually paired with a matching saucer plate.  

Best for: Cappuccinos, of course!

 

Classic Coffee Mug

Whether you work in an office or work from home, a classic coffee mug is the perfect companion. This mug holds around 8 to 11 ounces depending on the height of the cup. Regardless of your drink of choice, you can dress up your desk with a personalized mug, desk calendar and pretty plant. If you have a lot on your plate, daydream about your upcoming trip to Venice or reminisce on your past vacation with a fun photo mug.  

Best for: Your beverage of choice – filtered coffee, pour over or French press

 

Latte Mug

A latte is served in a wider bowl-shaped cup and holds around 11 to 15 ounces. If you like to add coffee flavors, plant-based milk, or latte art, a latte mug gives you the extra room to do so. The wide cup shape makes it easy on you or a barista to pour the steamed milk into the espresso.  

Best for: Latte, tea or soup  

 

Oversized Coffee Mugs

Oversized coffee mugs serve many purposes other than coffee, believe it or not. Let’s explore some ways to get creative with your oversized drinkware.

 

Oversized Classic Mug

Sometimes a normal cup of coffee just doesn’t cut it – a little extra room is necessary to make it through those early mornings. An oversized classic coffee mug holds around 20 to 25 ounces.

Best for: Extra cup of coffee (and caffeine)

 

Oversized Latte

Whether you’re preparing for the big game or celebrating an anniversary, it’s time to pull out the growler and beer steins. An oversized latte mug is the perfect dish to hold those yummy snacks when your stomach is growling.  

Best for: Extra large latte, snacks, soup or dessert

 

Travel Coffee Mugs

The easiest way to get your coffee intake on the go is with a travel mug. The insulation of a travel mug not only keeps your drinks hot or cold, but prevents spills when you’re driving or running around.
