Review on ☕ Gibson Elite Soho Cafe 21oz Multicolor Mug by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very attractive cups.

I was concerned that there were people saying that these mugs cannot be used in the microwave. The packaging says they are microwavable and I've microwaved one of these and I've had no bursts, cracks or anything negative, just hot coffee. The matte black is very attractive and goes well with my kitchen decor, which was one of the pluses. I like that the interior has different colors so you can serve guests without being sure whose cup it is. One review noted that the handles were oddly placed or difficult to hold. I have small hands so I hook 3 fingers on the handle and support them with my pinky. I can see that someone with big hands can feel cramped, but then again (no pun intended) if you have big hands you can wrap your fingers around the cup if needed. I don't feel comfortable with it, the circles are so round. I love the shape of these mugs as well as the color because they feel solid when placed on a table or counter. I've had cups that were always on the verge of tipping over; not this one. In terms of size, I had large and small cups/cups. They hold enough that you don't have to keep refilling them, and even if you only fill them 2/3 or 3/4 full to avoid spilling, you'll have a generous cup of your favorite beverage. I gave 4 stars. just because i haven't had these mugs for a long time so i can't comment on the durability, and also, well, they don't make coffee or serve. I have yet to do it. I think you can't go wrong with these mugs.

Pros
  • MODERN DESIGN: Handmade reactive glaze in natural organic tones gives the mug set a contemporary elegance. The large shape makes this mug set suitable for all drinks
Cons
  • I'll write later
