Handleless Cups Pro&Cons

When it comes to enjoying hot beverages like tea or an Americano, the choice between a cup with or without a handle can significantly impact your drinking experience.

Handled Cups: Practical for Hot Drinks

For hot, water-based drinks, cups with handles are more practical. The handle allows you to hold the cup comfortably without burning your fingers, providing a safer and more pleasant experience.

Handleless Cups: Sleek but Limited

Handleless cups offer a minimalist aesthetic and can be comfortable to hold when the beverage isn't too hot. However, they may not be suitable for very hot drinks, as the exterior can become too warm to handle safely.

Stoneware: Excellent Heat Retention

Stoneware is known for its durability and heat retention. While it keeps your drink warm, the exterior can still get hot, especially in handleless designs. Therefore, for very hot beverages, a handled stoneware cup is often the best choice.

Conclusion

Choose a handled cup for hot drinks to ensure comfort and safety. Handleless cups are stylish and suitable for warm beverages but may not be ideal for very hot drinks. Stoneware cups, whether with or without handles, offer excellent heat retention but require careful consideration based on the drink's temperature.
