coffee mugs, good mugs


Posted: Jun 19, 2015

I just had a question about good coffee mugs.  Is there a maker in the US that guarantees no lead in their products?  Might sound like a silly question, but I want to know if any of you just buy certain brands or does not matter. 

Thank you for sincere replies!

I do believe that items with lead in them were not allowed in the U.S. since the 1970s. However, you don't ever know with garage sale items, auction items, etc.

I like to think this is closely monitored.

I just recently got worried about my coffee mugs... - sm

all of which I had purchased at the $1 store. I had seen a TV program about problems with some imports and got worried. I wanted to replace them with something I could trust, but when I went looking everything I could find was made in China and didn't necessarily look better than what I already had. Finally, my husband said that glass mugs would be safe (he might have just said this to get me to stop looking), so I went back to the $1 and replaced all my mugs with glass mugs.

Coffee - Help, AnaPSep 19, 2011
Got it - sipping my first cuppa cappy.  Works great, great foam, squirt of chocolate syrup, but nowhere can I find the amount of grounds to use (filling water to second line).  My first cup was ungodly weak so I tossed it.  This is better but still weaker than I liike.  How much grounds should I use?    ...

Coffee Craving!Dec 02, 2009
This is the halfway point in my workday.  I usually head to a local coffee shop for my fix.  My favorite this season is the pumpkin spice.  So delish!  I also like the creme brulee, but it's so sweet.  I hope there's something new on the menu today!  I'm going to get a muffin too. I'm having a fairly productive day and I'm going to toast to my co-workers in MT-land and wish you to have a good afternoon also!  Salute! ...

How Much Coffee Do You Drink A Day?Jan 23, 2014
Just curious to know how much coffee you are all drinking per day.  I have an espresso machine and I make 2 large lattes a day, both with about 4 shots of espresso each.  I will also have one cup of regular coffee in the late afternoon just to get my through my mind numbing job.  I'm wondering if I'm drinking too much?!!? ...

Coffee Time, Shipwrecked!Sep 16, 2011
Got my Mukka and my Kimbo Italian imported coffee and... WOW. My husband helped me figure out to set up the pot and it's just beyond amazing.  The espresso is excellent.  No diss to Starbucks, but THIS is espresso.  It seriously takes 4 minutes with the 2-cup model I purchased to have the perfect cappy right in front of you.  I'm still in awe at how the espresso brews from the bottom up through the fillter into the milk, heating it all to a perfect temperature.&nb ...

Brown Teeth From CoffeeMar 19, 2012
I saw how may coffee lovers we have on this board below, and I am certainly one of them, but I just can't stand how brown my teeth turn when I drink it. Any tips to keep this from happening? I brush twice a day, and I even gave up tea and coffee for a couple of months and my teeth turned back to white. I want to go for some interviews outside the house and don't want to be afraid of my smile. Dental treatments seem kind of pricey, but may go that route or else have to give up coffe ...

Keurig Coffee MakerJun 13, 2010
Had company a few weeks ago and they bought a Keurig coffee maker for us along with a variety of coffe "pods". So far, I have not found a coffee we like as much as Folger's 100% Columbian medium dark roast. All the ones we tried seem either too strong too acidic. Looking for suggestions on which coffee to try.  Not sure I would have purchased one of these "gadgets" as it is pricey and the "pods" are pricey, but it is nice for that first cup in the a.m. and even a late afternoon ...

Happy Coffee LoverNov 24, 2012
I finally found the perfect coffee maker!  Since there's only me, and I only drink one large mug of coffee day, there's no point in making a whole pot of coffee.  I've never liked the single-cup makers with the proprietary pods, since you never really know how fresh the coffee is, besides being expensive.   Then I found the perfect maker - a Hamilton Beach Scoop.  It lets you use your own coffee, and requires no filters.  It lets you choose between&nb ...

Coffee Breaks Without Losing ProductivityOct 22, 2009
Thought I'd share -- I finally found a way to get a fresh cup of coffee in under 2 minutes (fingers not typing=no money)...  I found a great website that delivers single serve coffee makers & machines.  The machine brews in about 45 seconds, so I'm back at it faster.  What's even better, my 10-year-old can now make me a cup because it's so easy to use.  My 6 a.m. shift is a little easier now :) www.coffeemarvel.com   ...

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee CakeApr 01, 2012
I just made the most scrumptious blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It was so moist and sweet, but not too sweet. DH told me it tasted like something we used to get in Germany. So I wanted to pass on the recipe if anyone is interested. I can't wait til later to have another piece. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I creamed the butter and sugar with a fork (my mixer is packed away), then I used a wire whisk to mix the rest. I also used a bundt pan, but am sure it could be made in ano ...

When you get something good, everybody wants a piece of it.  My hubbie got a very good job.  He drives an eighteen wheeler and has had some crappy jobs.  He waited to get on with this company for months.  He is making great money.  Enough so that I could quit transcription and go back to college.  (Thank you Lord)  He makes the mistake of telling people how well paying it is and everybody wants a job.  I said it's real simple if they have an opening ...
