Im confused how these can be the best, none of them have spiderman on them
best one is the one im drinkin tea out of

Steady, simple, centre handle. Hopefully they're not to scale and it's got some volume to it
#8 for me
doesnt matter as long as it's wide enough that a) i can fit my big nose in it while drinking from it and b) i can fit my big hands in it while cleaning it
i hate mugs/glassware for small nosed people.
You know what they say: The bigger the nose, the bigger the... mug.
i dont think my nose is even exceptionally big, it's just average european big :D my hands are certainly not extremely wide, there are plenty of people with smaller palm length to width ratios. but there are just so many glasses on the market that are only cleanable with a brush. it's insane.
18 at a desk or other crowded place, huge volume, difficult to knock over.

I know at first glanced the curved handle just looks pretentious, but this style is actually super ergonomical. Your thumb sits in a much more natural position with the top of the handle angled that way instead of the traditional straight handle. Only downside is they don’t work for left-handed people.
My only gripe here is that narrow base. All the weight is up high. Reverse the ratio, keep the handle.
There’s other ones out there with a less extreme ratio, this was just the first example I found.
The real answer is 22 or one of the 40s. The closer it is to a sphere the smaller its ratio of surface area to volume is, which helps hold heat. Also the smaller opening at the top of the sphere (compared say to number 25) also helps reduce heat loss.
This is exactly the correct answer. 22/40 ftw.
i have absolutely no idea when but i must have encountered #15 before. the sight of that blasted me with more warmth and familiarity than should be possible for a fucking mug lmao
5, efficient and no nonsense.

5, 10 or 40. I really like round things you can sip from
Anything with either a handle that fits all 4 fingers, or no handle at all.
20 or one of the 38's
17 or 38-2
18 and 22 are closest, but mine is even flatter at the base. Very stable, and mine doesn't seem to slosh around much.
One of 5, 6, 10, 17, 18, 28, 31, 38.
All the others are anxiety inducing because they're top heavy and too easy to knock over.
15, 17, 20
The Sports Direct mug, obviously.
But I can’t stand SD cause of its owner. Tough one.
I am most intrigued by 14, I don't know that I need the bottom of the handle and I feel like it often gets in the way of my larger hands.
14 is a winner for tea. Nice solid handle, none of that slippery curve nonsense.
05 or 28 optimal handle shape
I like 11 as long as the vessel isn't square shaped.
If I can't fit all 4 of my fingers in there I'm pissed, and that's 95% of mugs.
I quite like the shape of 40号 and 38号 series
Specifically for raktajino.
I like 16 and 10 :)
And 8 and 24
