Mugs & Tea Cups

From your morning coffee to your evening tea the right cup or mug can turn a routine drink into a delightful experience. MyHouse understands offers a range of cups and mugs designed with both aesthetic appeal and practical use in mind. Explore the world of MyHouse cups and mugs and learn how to get the most out of your favourite drinkware.

What's The Difference Between A Mug And A Cup?
At first glance, cups and mugs may seem interchangeable, but there are distinct differences between the two. Typically, cups are smaller with a handle and are often used for serving tea or coffee, usually as part of a formal set including saucers. Mugs, on the other hand, are larger, sturdier vessels with thicker walls and a handle, perfect for a generous serving of your favourite hot or cold beverage. MyHouse offers a variety of both, ensuring that whether you're sitting down to a formal tea or taking a coffee break, you're well-equipped.

What Kind of Drinks Can You Serve In A Mug?
Mugs from MyHouse are as versatile as they are stylish. Here are some beverages that are mug-worthy:
Coffee and Espresso-Based Drinks: A classic choice, coffee is the go-to drink for a mug. Whether you're sipping on an Americano or delighting in a frothy cappuccino, MyHouse mugs keep your brew warm.
Hot Chocolate: Comfort in a cup, or rather, a mug. Ideal for those colder days when you need a sweet treat.
Tea: While tea is traditionally served in cups, a large mug is perfect for those who prefer a larger helping or enjoy herbal infusions.
Soup: Yes, some mugs are great for non-beverage options, too. Enjoy a mug of your favourite soup snuggled up on the couch.

What Kind of Drinks Can You Serve In A Cup?
Cups are generally associated with more formal or traditional drink settings. Here's what you can enjoy in a MyHouse cup:

Tea: A classic Earl Grey or chamomile fits perfectly in a MyHouse cup, especially when you're hosting.
Coffee: When it’s time for a coffee break, a small cup may be just what you need for that quick caffeine fix.
Specialty Drinks: Complex coffee creations like affogato or a small cortado look and taste great in a cup.

How To Properly Clean Cups and Mugs?
To keep your MyHouse cups and mugs in pristine condition, follow these tips:

1. Rinse cups and mugs soon after use to prevent stains.
2. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to clean the inside and outside.
3. Dishwasher-safe options can go in the dishwasher, but make sure to place them securely to avoid chips or cracks.
4. For hand-painted or delicate pieces, hand washing is best to preserve their design.

How To Remove Tea Stains From A Mug?
Tea stains can be stubborn, but with these steps, your MyHouse mugs can look as good as new:
Baking Soda: Make a paste with baking soda and a little water, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft brush or cloth.
Vinegar: Soak a cloth in white vinegar and wrap it around the stain. Let it sit before scrubbing. Rinse well afterwards.
Denture Tablets: Drop a denture cleaning tablet into the mug filled with warm water and let it fizz away the stain.
