2017 BOTL Mug

[btubes18]

I think we have a tendency to take @cgraunke's dedication to the cause for granted. One style would be more than sufficient, and I'd imagine most of us will buy it anyway even if not our first choice.


I believe Deneen (per their website) charges at least a portion up front for a process like this. Maybe to streamline voting we can have folks put down a deposit on their mug ($20 for example), this way we avoid random voting and opinions from those who don't intend to buy. Just a thought.

It's your world though, Clint, we're just living in it.

Agreed here! Would be glad to put a deposit down if needed.

I agree with most of what you said, but why does it have to be strictly the Pepin or a bigger size? (where's my thinking guy emoji)

From a cursory glance through the comments, that had the most support so far.

I like the tall belly with a Black & Red marble Glaze, but honestly I think the poll wold help cut down on this back and forth IMO. The deposits are a great idea.... and Fathers Day is fast approaching

I have a 10oz Deneen mug and its too small imo... after your 8oz of coffee, if that's all you need, you barely have room for milk or cream. brings the liquid right to the brim. I also have the 14oz DWCC Valhalla mug and I love it. My coffee has no prob staying warm. Also less trips back for another fill up. If you drink hot choc out of it in the winter, it will also allow room for some marshmallows and whip cream (make it for the wife)...

This is exactly what I have experienced, their measurements aren't exact and mine is a smaller 10oz.
If so many people are against the 14oz, let's just settle on 12oz and pick from those shapes. It's a solid middle and will narrow down the shape selection nicely. I think that makes the most sense from what I've seen in the thread.

How dare you bring common sense into this discussion!!!!

It narrows us down to 7 shape options. That seems manageable enough for a poll possibly.

Hey I could have went with coffee drinkers only get a say in coffee mug discussions...

haha - which means we will ignore his input anyway and continue to fight for important life decisions like how big a coffee mug should be.

Tea > coffee

Tea > coffee

If tea is more than coffee doesn't that mean you need a bigger mug?

Nope, that's what a kettle is for

You drink from a kettle? Dude I will definitely make sure you get a mug.

@cgraunke thanks for doing this and props to supporting TCs small business. Id be partial to Cocoa w/Sand White, the cocoa matches the logo and it reminds me of MN lake shores. A slight blue hue like Boundary Waters waves slowing rolling in on a crisp cool morning

Whatever you choose, Im in.
