The proposed score considers design, handle, proportion, character and want factor, each out of 20. A published score must identify its evidence, date and review process. We do not infer comfort, durability or drinkability from photographs. Supplier facts and editorial opinions remain separate.

EVERYDAY IS NOT THE SAME AS ORDINARY.

There is probably a mug in your kitchen that wins every morning. It may not match anything. Still, your hand finds it. This archive begins with that attachment.

The Mug Index is being built with AI assistance. Product facts come from suppliers. Editorial selections are opinions. When an object has been physically tested, we will say so.
