    Actually, American chains like IHOP have coffee denial down to a science, the mug is just about as small as one could reasonably allow, and the ceramic is almost an inch thick. All because someone in middle management did some math in hopes of a promotion a few years down the road on how to save as much money as possible on coffee.

      they better heat that cup with a blowtorch for 5 min. before they pour coffee in it or they will only be serving something akin to iced coffee

        ? Ceramic is the chosen material for mugs because it is a good insulator and will keep liquids warmer for longer. Thicker mugs will retain heat longer.

          I think they meant that if the cup was cold when they poured the coffee in then it would cool the coffee down rapidly
