21 Coffee Mugs That Make Your Early Morning Cup of Joe So Much Better
Sliding your hands around a hot mug of your favorite coffee or tea can almost be as comforting as slipping back under your still-warm sheets on an early morning. For a lot of people, the first interaction they have in their day is with their morning joe. Joe won't judge your morning breath, messy hair, and glazed over eyes. Joe cares. Joe wants to help. Sometimes you just want to marry Joe. (Just to be clear, we are still talking about coffee, guys.)
We can help you make that cup of liquid satisfaction even more satisfying with these 21 mugs. From mermaids and narwhals to Gilmore Girls and Beyoncé, we've got you covered.
