China v porcelain mugs

Bone China mug for tea, "ordinary" one for coffee!

I’m the opposite to phoenix

Bone China mug for all hot beverages. Can't be doing with thick heavy mugs, it alters the whole drinking experience!

I have two favourite cups both bone china x

I prefer bone China for tea but I’ll use my others when they are all in the dishwasher

Bone china all the time. Can't be doing with thick china. Our local garden centre restaurant serves coffee in mugs as thick and heavy as terracotta plant pots. Yuk!

I don't like bone china at all

Give me a big clunky mug any day

Bone China please. X

Plain white china.

I'm with Tanith on this one. Reminds me of (some of?) the reasoning behind milk in first, or milk in last.

It seems that years ago when the upper classes used bone china and the lower orders used pottery mugs for their tea, the lower orders put milk in first in order to avoid the mugs cracking from the boiling water; the upper classes had no such risk with bone china - which allowed them to put the tea in first and then add milk or lemon according to taste.

My mum was the one for her china cups/ tea -sets. She had a beautiful Spode teacup that was her favourite for her tea but my ex-SiL beat me to it after mum died---as did the Crown Derby tea -set vanish Ah well I've got the old Colclough, which I don't use.

It's a mug for my coffee and a china mug for my morning tea which I have to soak in bleach now and again because of the tannin stain on account of me liking builders tea.

China for me. I don’t like thick, heavy mugs.

Another bone china fan too.

China and husband loves thick chunky ones

Definitely bone china and prefer cup and saucer to mugs.

Really don't like bone China...

I think tea tastes far better from a thin mug. Cups are too small and fiddly.
