Geez Racer, ya still stalkin' me? ...what if I already have a "real mug" -- and like this cool ceramic (8 oz., not 5, or 6 oz.) novelty cup anyway? I like all kinds and sizes of mugs. My current fave is a Krispy Kreme mug modeled after the traditional diner style mug, heavy ceramic, heavy enough to be a murder weapon.
Camp percolator? Yikes! Why not just fry the coffee grounds in bacon fat, and and squeeze the juice into a cup with a camp boot sock?
Just kiddn. I trust you have normal (non re-boiled) methods of brewing, and prefer savoring a decently-brewed cup of joe, in the jumbo-sized mug of your choice!
Agree about the cup-size shell game. And it's even worse when buying coffee beans that are sold at lb. prices but are actually 8 or 10 oz. instead of a full pound. That is just wrong. To vendors, I say, if you're gonna raise the prices, then, raise the prices. Do it honestly, don't sneak in cost hikes by quietly decreasing volume. When I buy a bag of coffee beans, I want the whole pound.
