Pro tip: The $4 diner mug at a yard sale in Tulsa pours better than my $40 pour over setup
Last Saturday I hit a yard sale two blocks from my place in Tulsa and this older lady sold me a heavy diner mug for $4. I joked that my fancy pour over rig at home cost 10 times that and she laughed and said her dad ran a diner for 30 years and the mugs were the only thing he never cheaped out on. I took it home, made my usual cup, and the coffee stayed hot for almost 20 minutes instead of going cold in 5. The thicker ceramic holds heat way better and honestly the wide rim changes how the coffee hits your tongue. I have been chasing gear for 3 years and a $4 mug from a yard sale taught me more about drinking coffee than a $200 grinder did. Now I want to know if anyone else has a random cheap find that beat their pricey stuff. What is the lowest dollar item in your kitchen that still makes the best cup?
