Date: November 21, 2010 12:19AM Looking for new mugs or tumblers that are usually used for coffee/tea. Other than Kleen Kanteen and glass ball jars, what else is there?
I was in Barnes and Noble today and was looking at the products in their cafe..so far it's the only store I've seen selling things like that without a "Made In China" label slapped on the bottom but I don't want to pay $25 for something if it still will taste like plastic/metal which is my problem with Chinese products.

[www.starbucksstore.com] I liked that one. Ceramic, Heavy, Insulated...but MadeInChina.  And in case you're working, yes I sometimes go through phases of drinking herbal teas..especially in this weather and I want something hot.Edited 1 time(s).

By buying locally from a studio potter you are buying something unique and helping a small, local business Re: Drinkware that doesn't taste like plastic or metal?

I'm sure class stores like Kitchen Emporium would have a hard plastic drinking 'Glass'. I don't remember where I bought mine .....WY Re: Drinkware that doesn't taste like plastic or metal?
