It may come as a surprise that some of the most influential business houses in the world such as the New York Stock Exchange and Lloyds of London began as coffee houses. Every year, the National Coffee Association of USA Inc. compiles statistics about coffee consumption trends. In its 2008 report, it highlighted that there has been tremendous increase in the number of coffee drinkers, particularly among the teenagers.

Coffee lovers are very particular about the various types of coffee and prefer to drink it in a complimentary mug that perks up their mood. A coffee mug is a type of cup that is sturdily built and typically used for drinking hot coffee. Coffee mugs are bigger in size and can contain a larger amount of liquid than cups. You can find mugs with capacity ranging from 11 to 22 ounces.

Coffee Mugs were Made of Bones during the Stone Age
Mugs were first found in China and Japan. They were thought to date back to 1000BC. Archaeologists have found mugs that belong to the Stone Age and they are made of bones. Later, different materials were used to make coffee mugs.

The history of insulated mugs is quite recent, namely the 19th century. Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist, invented vacuum flask that was derived to make insulated mugs and we all know the rest is history.

Coffee Mugs Perk Up Design Trends
Trends governed the way we dress and now, even the mugs we drink from. So many designs and accessories have made coffee drinking a sophisticated art of sorts. These accessories enhance the experience of savoring your favorite beverage.

Designs of mugs can vary on the basis of material, thermal insulation, handle, shape and cap. Mugs with thicker walls ensure that the coffee remains hot for a longer duration. Ceramic mugs are made from various shapes, including animal shapes for kids. You can also get personalized designs on the mug.
