Coffee Mugs – The Ultimate Guide
Coffee mugs - the perfect way to enjoy your cup of joe, and this article answers everything you want to know about them! How many coffee cups should you have? On an everyday basis, factor in the number of people that use cups, the number of drinks they have per day and how often the cups are washed. So, if you have 2 people drinking 3 drinks each per day and the dishes are washed once per day, you will need 6 cups (2*3*1=6). Alternatively, if you have 3 people drinking 2 drinks each per day and the dishes are washed every 2 days, you will need 6 cups (3*2*2=12).

If you drink 2 mugs of coffee/tea per day and wash the mugs every two days, you should own at least 4 mugs (2*2=4). As above, it can also be beneficial to have a couple of mugs spare for any visitors so you don’t have to ensure all your mugs are all available for others. How can I display a lot of mugs?
