I have a new best coffee mug that became my favorite the first time I used it. Not only is it magically decorated, it is practical. This mug is good sized to hold 15 ounces of coffee plus cream without dangerous overflow. It is just the right weight - substantial but not clunky, or so thin it is fragile. Without a doubt, it will stand up the the use I have planned for it. I especially like the ample sized handle as it fits my hand with ease. The final plus it that it's quite a treat to have coffee with a wizard every morning.
