Arguably, the only item as essential as your iPhone, your computer, and your lucky t-shirt from freshman year is your trusty coffee mug. As the vessel for your morning fuel, a cup of Joe (or tea) isn’t just an addiction, but a mostly-healthy necessity. Whether working from home or at home in your cup holder, a good coffee mug is a dependable ally in the battle against slow mornings and grogginess. These days, mugs come in an array of shapes and sizes, and there’s the perfect fit for any need.

From traditional mugs that won’t crash the style of your bachelor pad to smart technologies that keep your beverage at the temperature you prefer, the options are endless. In case you’re too exhausted from last night’s happy hour (or, really, life in general, these days) to do the digging, we’ve done it for you, complete with our top picks for whatever your caffeinated mind needs.
HiBear Outdoors All-Day Adventure Flask – Sierra Sippin'
One of the hottest trends in hot drinking is a do-it-all tumbler with multiple uses for every drink need. Among the best applications right now is HiBear’s 32oz. container with separate uses for cold brew, pour overs, tea and cocktails. Hikers and campers love the flexibility of having all of this in an easy-to-use setup while the distinctive design makes it an eye-catcher whether ten miles up the trail or ten pages deep in the spreadsheets.
CamelBak Horizon 12oz. Camp Mug
You may best know CamelBak for their water reservoirs (which are a hiker’s best friend on a hot day), but they happen to make some excellent insulated drinkware as well. The Horizon isn’t flashy, but it will keep your beverage of choice nice and warm for extended periods at the desk and the non-slip silicone bottom ensures that the cup will stay upright (reducing the risk of covering your keyboard in latte tan).
Stojo 16oz. Cup
Collapsible cups are a great way to save on space once you’re done with your morning drink. This lightweight option from Stojo comes in more than a dozen color options and is built from a safer silicone that won’t import anything nasty into your mocha. The added straw makes this a fantastic dual-purpose option for whichever bevvies you prefer later in the day. Just give it a rinse and you’re off and running.
EcoVessel Double Barrel Insulated Mug
The specific design of this 16oz. mug solves the problem for those who need one coffee cup that can also transition into a preservation device for carbonated beverages. The curvature mimics that of a rounded glass, which helps keep fizzy drinks fizzier for longer, and comes wrapped in two layers of 18/8 stainless steel.
Haand 10oz. Short Mug
If your commute is, say, less than a dozen steps, then your mug options increase exponentially. This porcelain mug is a bit wider than the average vessel (hello, lower center of gravity) and is modeled on traditional camping mugs of yesteryear for that classic look. There’s something quintessentially home-y and comforting about this cup that would power anyone through the toughest of workdays.
Miir Camp Cup (multiple sizes)
There is no shortage of suitable coffee mug options over at design-savvy Miir, but they’ve recently added new sizes to their flagship Camp Cup, so you can now pour up to 20 ounces of your drink into a simple, functional design. The expanded color range is a nice touch and these cups perform as well as they look.
Igloo 27oz. Stainless Steel Tumbler
You likely know Igloo from time around the water cooler as a child, but what you may not know is that they make some of the best low-key drinkware on the market. Not only are their tumblers durable, they keep drinks hot (or cold) for a long time. We love the low cost of entry to top-notch drink temperature regulation and this larger format is an ideal option for road trips (however long they may be).
NewLeaf Tall Tea Mug
Tea drinkers, we see you and we hear you. Loose leaf has always been a battle against making a mess while getting the infusion just right for those subtle, pleasant cups. This 16 oz. mug has all of the key features of a trusty infuser vessel: fine-slotted strainer, drip lid and a few color options. This is a functional and seamless way to make tea time, your time.
