...I've got this plastic, insulated, 24oz mug that I can pour 2/3 of a quart of my favorite tea (Winn Dixie brand with nutra-sweet - no sugar) into and just be happy. Its almost a requirement for a good day.
I take it off the counter first thing in the morning for dog walking, breakfast, and paper reading. 24 oz.
I take it for my hour drive into work. 48 oz.
One mug full before and during lunch. 72 oz.
One mug full for the afternoon. 96 oz.
One mug full for the drive home. 120 oz.
And one mug full for supper. 144 oz. (yes, I'm diabetic)
Then I wash it, and place it on a paper towel on the counter for the next day. I figure since I don't smoke and only drink about a six pack every month, I can have this one vice.
We only have a few special years with our children in which they desire our time, attention, and love. After that time is over, it is gone forever, and we will be the ones that desire their time, attention, and love. Make those few, short years count -

Actually, I have a glass mug I got from a Bier festival in Austria. It isn't in really good shape, but I love pulling it out of the freezer and pouring a cold one into it!

They scrambled around trying to get them all back after the conference but most of us hide them.
Clouder..
The other is just some el-cheapo camo mug(32oz). Carry it everywhere with me. IDS will verify. To pt formation, I hump it in the field, hell I've even jumped it in a few times at Bragg. Just seems to taste better than out of a steel canteen cup.
I've become quite talented with it. I've had some pretty nasty falls, unexpected balling up of other teams soldiers, and the like and it is a rare day to see me spill a drop. I do not jest when I say it's my lifes blood.

You know that you've got a problem when you have a special bladder for your camelback that is designated just for coffee. Don't spread that bit of info though. I kind of have a reputation of being impervious to the elements. Walking around Ft. Drum in the dead of winter, during a snowstorm, with below zero windchill with nothing but my BDU's, smoking jacket, set of nomex gloves, and my trusty camelback. It just doesn't feel all that cold when you've got 100oz's of hot coffee strapped to your back. Go figure

'Clouder, sounds like your mug would make the coffee for you...just add water and grounds and let the radiation take care of the rest
Iow - no wonder you like to scrap so much

My wife, who doesn't care for guns ... (but puts up with my affection for them) always seems to grab a HK, Remington, or other cup/mug when she goes to get a cup of coffee ... there are plenty of others with fuzzy kittens or other stuff, but she always has a 1/2 cup/mug with a gun depiction on it ... I don't understand but I dont mind either; None are 20+ ounces!

I prefer to drink all beverages (even coffee sometimes) out of a large glass mug bearing the head of a ram and the words "EST 1971". I picked it up at "The Ram" (a.k.a. Bighorn Brewery) in the state of Washington while I was stationed at Fort Lewis. They had the best gosh darn burgers in that whole state and they had an EXCELLENT brewery that was co-located with one of their restaurants. If you couldn't decide which beer you wanted to have with your meal, they would take out shot-glasses with a sample of each of their handcrafted delicacies. You'd take 6-8 shots of beer and make your choice. Many good times were shared there at The Ram. Being that I've never been much of a drinker I was almost always the designated driver for those who chose to indulge in one of their larger mugs--the same mug that sits on my desk right now. Mugs come and go but this one has been with me for a few years now. It used to just hold pens but now it holds tea, coffee, Mr. Pibb or ice water.
I know y'all are just dying to get your hands on one of these "ARMY OF ONE" mugs that us recruiters give away like candy.

At home drinking a soda or tea I've got a huge old heavy A&W rootbeer
mug. Stolen from them when I was a kid about 78 or 9.
On the road I've got a 64 oz. thermal go cup (Yes 64) The gas station hates to see me come in because it's got their logo I get to fill it for $.39 . I go in and wipe them out and they have to make all fresh pot. They had these and when you paid 3.99 for it you got 20 free refills and then you had to start paying.
About three years ago, Dunkin Donuts tried to sell them for 1.95.
They didn't sell very well, so the manager of my Dunkin Donut store gave me the last six.
My wife almost had a fit last Thanksgiving when I served them to the family on the same table with her Waterford crystal. Geesh, some women just don't have a sense of humor.
