I'm looking for a cup that can keep coffee hot longer than your typical ceramic cup. Seem like we have about fifty ceramic cups that are good hand warmers. The thermos style that I use in my car works, but to me the plastic lining does something to the taste.

Do a Google search on "Thermos Nissan" and pick yourself out a mug. All stainless interior, no plastic effect. I got one a few months ago and I love it. Keeps the brew hot for ages.

nissan is a good and inexpensive way to get a great container cheap, just remember to keep it clean,

I've got a few of the plastic travel mugs that I seldom use for that very reason. The only reason I keep them is they comemorate some race or something.
I also tend to like certain types of stoneware/ceramic mugs for some reason. Seems like I prefer the thicker mugs as a rule.

Yep stainless thermal mugs are the way to go. I have one that I got from Starbucks and it is sweet! I use it every moring-keeps my coffee hot for hours!

Thanks for your advice. Checked out the Nissan Thermos and have one one the way.

On a side note: I really hate it when you go to a website that has something you really like, only to have them say the item is discontinued and is not available. Ok, then why the HELL do you even have it listed on your website with a discounted price???? HUH?

Sorry for the rant. Feel much better.

My deceased grandmother, who was born in 1896, would only drink her coffee from a fine china coffee cup. She's even took one with her when she traveled (so I guess I'm not the original coffee fanatic in my family.

). Anyway, she swore that coffee tasted better that way.

I have seen the Same coffee cups that Starbucks sells at Target. Only difference is it has the comapanies name on it, instead of Starbucks, AND it is about 1/2 the cost!!!!

Not sure if they currently carry them though....FYI.
