Coffee Conversations: WIN HIVE
Hello Coffee Lovers,
It's @millycf1976 here!
Happy Hump Day All!
It has been a long time since I've had conversations over coffee, and today I'm inviting you all to join the conversation, on this topic:
What's your favourite Coffee Cup?
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
- Take a selfie with your favourite coffee cup.
- Post the selfie in the comments section of this post.
- Tell us some history and personal information about the coffee cup, and what it means to you. (50 to 100 words MAX!)
- Comment with an English translation on the previous author's selfie, before yours, and ask one question about the coffee cup. The question must be something that the author did not mention in the history or information about the cup.
N.B. If you would prefer to add a short video in the comments, please do so, but you must communicate in English so that the judges will be able to understand you.
Commenting ends on Friday 5th Aug, at the end of the Countdown Timer at the top and the bottom of this post.
🏧 We are enjoying this conversation so much, that I'm going prolong it till next Tuesday 9th Aug, at the end of the Countdown Timer at the top and bottom of this post, ok!
Leaky and I (Judges) will then decide:
- Best Photo = 1 HIVE + Votes on your comment
- Best Coffee Cup = 1 HIVE + votes on your comment
- Best Introduction = 1 HIVE + votes on your comment
I'll break the ice and lead by example, with the first comment and a selfie with my favourite coffee cup.
This shows you exactly what is expected of you; Just add your comments and photos in your own words, of course. Whoever drops the next comment after mine, must ask me a question about the cup that I did not mention before.
Note: As the hostess and the first person to drop a comment, I will not be asking a question, however, I will respond to my question, from the first author who will post after me.
So,
🗣 Let's get this conversation going guys and have a
Supercalifragilisticexpiali'coffeelicious' Day❗️

This Badger Coffee Cup is my favourite because it was given to me as a gift to compliment my very first narrowboat that was called Badger.
I no longer live on Badger, but whenever I use the cup I'll always think of Badger fondly.
I appreciate the size of this coffee cup, which is ideal for cappuccinos, my preferred coffee whenever I go to a coffee shop. Having this cup allows me to sit in the comfort of my home, pretending to be at a fancy Coffee Shop.
I like your selfie and your space of comfort in your home, I see you like flowers and natural space, besides having and a great cup of coffee, I hope you enjoyed it.
Have a nice day @millycf1976
Hey @wendyth16
Thank you!
Yes, indeed. I do like natural spaces and flowers 😍
I hope that you will join this conversation and share your selfie with an introduction too:)
Of course I AM going to prepare My entry today.
Thanks for your invitation
Ok, I look forward to seeing it.
Take care :)
That's a very thoughtful gift to link the cup to your home. It's a nice image on it too. Cute little badger. It's awesome that it's a large size too. A coffee mug can never be too big.
Yes, I admire the little badger, and I particularly enjoy drinking my coffee in nature, from my badger cup, because I feel safe and protected with a badger in my hand 🤣
Yes, one can NEVER go wrong with a large size mug:))
The only thing better than coffee in nature is, a lot, of coffee in nature.
That is too precious. Nature and coffee = perfect combo! I love your cup @millycf1976 Size matters. I mean the coffee mug/cup. Cheers!
Hehe! Thank you!:)
Yes, size matters...for coffee cups, of course 🤣🙃
I'm gonna throw tantrums if you gonna give me a midget cup 😁
I wanted to join, but my fave mug was broken :(
🤣
Next time... I'm sure that we'll have atopic that suits you:)))
😂😂😂
🤣🙃

Interested to try it out my friend. Looks tempting too 😁😁
Thanks for your comment. It would be great if you would join the conversation with the special requirements :)
I will give it a shots my friend😁😁
What a surprise, as soon as I read I knew right away which mug to choose. Now I'm going for the hard part, the photo 😅
When we are having breakfast at home, from time to time my husband plays instrumental music to make us feel like we are in a luxurious restaurant in the city.
Large sizes are convenient 🙈
That's special!
"convenient" indeed 😆
I'm looking forward to the next selfie :)))
For those rainy days like the ones we are experiencing in Caracas, nothing like a good cup of coffee to warm us up and wake us up.
But coffee is tastier with my white Progress Software mug. A mug that has a lot of value for me because it was given to me by my good friend Anabel Casado, who was my Progress instructor in 1990. Coincidentally, daughter of one of my mentors in the world of computing, my well-remembered friend Diego Casado.
I have taken care of this mug more than any material thing in my life. I've thrown away wedding rings, watches, and cars, I've even been divorced several times and the mug is still with me, and coffee tastes different in it regardless of the brand, it tastes divine.
I ask you Milly (@millycf1976):
Your mug is quite big, I even think much bigger than mine, won't it be too heavy?

Hello @germanandradeg
Thanks for joining the conversation 😁
No, the mug is not heavy at all. It's the same weight as the average size mug. I guess it's the material that makes it this light.
That's a unique circumstance, don't you think? 😂
I have been through several divorces as well as marriages; that makes me feel like a movie or show business star.
You have to take life with joy, they are stepping stones to reach the ideal marriage.
I bet!
It's like trial and error, I suppose?
Sounds like the mug has a lot of sentimental value to you. It's good that you're keeping it safe.
I have been thinking of putting it in a special place and moving it to retirement to keep it safe. I should look for another one or wait for a gift to arrive.
we are an Indonesian couple. in terms of art, this cup of mine has no art. but this cup is full of love and the history of our 7 year marriage. The contents of this cup are 600 ML. very much the content of the coffee. And in this green cup my favorite color (wife) is every afternoon for 7 years, coffee will be poured into it and we drink it alternately in the same cup and tell many things ranging from work, dinner menu, vacation time. I love coffee and love the person holding the cup.
@germanandradeg is the text on your cup the name of the project you made?
That's an unusual green colour @maytom, but I like the sentiments it hold for you and your wife:)
Thanks for your mention. I love my wife evereday🥰🥰🥰🥰
You're very welcome!
That's good news 😁
A mug of love and history everyday. Excellent!
Thanks for mention.i hope i can write the better evereday.
Hello, Maya (maytom).
How wonderful it is to see how a couple of beings who love each other share from the simplest thing which is drinking coffee in the same cup. That makes me think that the cup without having any image only its color of hope has a valuable meaning for the couple.
Congratulations from Caracas, Venezuela.
What material is the mug made of?
This mug is made of thick plastik which is quite safe even if put in the microwave with a long heat resistance. This mug has a well known trademark in my country Tupperware
What a beautiful story behind the mug. 😍
Thanks for your comment
This is my favorite cup to drink coffee, it is a gift that some friends gave me and it comes from Portugal. Drinking in it is divine, every time I serve myself in it is to taste my coffee very slowly as it makes me imagine what life is like in that country, its culture, its stories, flavors, colors and smells. Knowing that it was handmade I find it fascinating that someone can have such a talent to paint deserves my respect. My question to @germanandradeg : would you trade your mug for one to create new stories?
Hi, Liseth (@liseth.zamora).
I hope you are feeling very well.
As you may have read, I have had my mug since 1990, so I wouldn't change it. But this doesn't mean that I wouldn't accept a new mug, my mug would become a memory and I would start life with a new history with a mug with details like yours.
It's always good to improve, to see the future with hope and not stagnate.
Excellent @germanandradeg we must always be open to change. Other races will bring new stories, even more interesting. Greetings from La Victoria Aragua
That's a gorgeous hand-painted mug. The shapes and designs are interesting and unique!
Thanks for supporting the community by joining the conversation:)
Thanks to you. I find your proposals very interesting and creative. I am new to hive and I am delighted by such a brilliant community.
It is our pleasure, and a nice way to get community members to interact. I'm pleased with the interaction so far, and I've just learned a new city in Venezuela, so that's wonderful:)
That's really cool that the mug is handmade. Awesome!
I present you my magic coffee mug, it is very special for me because it represents many things. My progress in Hive, because I bought it with the money I produced writing 2. My development because I am already a teenager who has his things, and 3. But not less important, is that it has stamped all the things I love, represented in the logo of the coffee community, my favorite anime which is One Piece, and my video games.
@liseth.zamora Do you know if the drawings on your mug have any meaning or represent any in Portugal?
I LOVE the hats!!! 🙌 @eollarvesm
Thank you very much, I like them too, I have 4 hats at the moment. 🤠👍☕
Hahaha! Do you have different styles of hats?
I love hats too. This straw hat was my favourite hat when I lived in the Philippines. I like broad-rim hats that are made of natural material like this one.
It's a farmer's hat in the Philippines, and you will see farmers on rice fields wearing them:)
I have only two models, the first hat is made by indigenous artisans in my country, it is not made of straw, it is made of the fiber of a palm bush from this area, it is all handmade and has colorful threads, I brought it from a trip we made to the Amazon area near a big river called Orinoco, the other model I have is the purple one, I also have it in dark brown and light brown, they are made of leather, they are also handmade, but it is from the Venezuelan plains area.
They are both gorgeous and I like that they are local items from your country:)
I remember that mug and how much it means to you. It's very cool! Great design. 👍
Thank you very much
Hello! @eollarvesm basically the drawings are abstract. In Portugal, this technique of painting on white ceramics using blue in different shades is widely used. The design is by Carrilho Lopes
I like your technique, blue is my favorite color and in white it stands out a lot.
Me gusta su técnica, el azul es mi color preferido y en blanco resalta mucho
Hello @liseth.zamora
Please could you edit this comment with an English translation.
Thanks!
Clever. My apologies. I forget that it must be in English because the phone does the automatic translation.
That's ok, I know it's easy to forget since it's your native tongue and all. I was just reviewing the comments and noticed it.
Thanks for the update:))
That's interesting. I had no idea white on blue was popular in Portugal. Those colours always make me think of Greece 😅
I would say that those colors are more characteristic of the city of Porto. Since they have given me, on other occasions, a tablecloth, a chopping board with those two colors that stand out in the pattern
Yes, blue is a relaxing and calming colour, and I think that when it's mixed with white, it looks good in most living spaces:))
Hi Hivers this is my favorite mug and it is a gift from my grandmother Yeyita last December (2021). It has a medium size, just enough to drink black coffee and bold enough to repeat a cappuccino, mocachino or any version containing milk. It is blue in color (my favorite) with a gold rim.
I think it is an elegant mug and what do you think?
@eollarvesm You are charismatic and talented. I love what the mug means to you. May you continue to be successful in Hive and everything you set your mind to.
That is a nice mug and a good size too. I agree that it's quite elegant looking. Very nice 👌
My grandmother is flirtatious and elegant. Everything she gives as a gift she buys to her liking hahaha luckily it's good.😊
Hey @lisrl26 I agree that your mug is elegant and I like that it's a proper saucer with the indent for the cup to sit in:)
A stylish mug, I told my grandmother that she could give me several as a gift so that I could serve my guests with elegance. 😁
Haha, I'm sure your guests would admire them too:)
My aunt who is also in Hive, yesterday she showed the picture to my grandmother, she said I came out beautiful but the mug was prettier than me hahahaha. That's how she is
Haha! I guess you all have a good sense of humour:)))
Laughter is the best medicine 😁🤣
Thank you very much for your good wishes, I liked your mug, it is very elegant and the blue color is also my favorite.
I like all shades of blue, most of my clothes are blue, gray and black and some color to get out of my comfort zone. 😅
What a beauty of a mug, so beautiful and elegant, I imagine that's what your grandmother was like!
Just like that, my grandmother recently turned 86 and still wants to look good. I would have liked to look a little like her 😉
Wonderful initiative :D
I like that they have opened to more community participation, congratulations, I will participate in the next as time does not give me to participate in this :D
Ok, that's fair enough. We might extend this conversation anyhow...so you could check back :)
We have extended the time on this @fabian98 ... Hope you get to join, if not next time :)))
HI EVERY ONE MY FUNNY COFFEE CUP.
This fun and childish coffee mug is my favorite, because I like the joy and draws attention for its drawings and its dedicataria, besides being special because a good friend gave it to me before leaving the country, we are both coffee lovers, I always offered her coffee when we arrived at my house and we went to this garden of my house, to enjoy it to be outdoors, we had a good conversation of friends. I know that someday she will return to the country and we will have these good times again, so we will always have a coffee with milk and cinnamon served in these Funny cups and in this garden of my house.
BY @wendyth16
I like the cheerful yellow colour @wendyth16
It would give me twice the joy to drink my morning coffee from a yellow smile mug.
You look summery and happy in nature there:)
I like to be outdoors, it's always sunny here, sometimes it rains but the weather is always like this.
oh yes, I love sunshine too.
#SunshineGirls 😍
That is a nice cup. You're right about it being very joyous and playful. Very cool.
thanks friend, love my funny cup coffee.
Yes, your cups are cheerful, you have a very nice garden, worthy for a good conversation with a delicious coffee and the best company, be it friend, family or partner.😊
My favorite mug is simple, white and with the Beatles logo printed on it. I like it for several reasons, first it is very comfortable to drink in it, there are mugs with a very thick rim, with which I do not feel comfortable, this one is perfect! Second, it has the perfect capacity for me, it is medium and I fill it almost to the brim! Third, it was given to me by my boyfriend who is a coffee lover and was the one who introduced me to drinking coffee every morning, I have another one that he also gave me, which is beautiful and handmade, but it has a very thick rim which makes it difficult to drink coffee with it. Fifth I love the clean crisp look of it, it was once burned on the stove, yet I still use it and it is my favorite. And sixth, it has the logo of one of the most famous bands of all time, favorite of my father, my boyfriend and me!
@eollarvesm Which of the two cups do you use the most?
Hello @caracasprin
Those are some valid and great reasons to feel sentimental about that cup. Very nice. I have asked @annafenix to continue the conversation by asking you a question:)
lol
Hello @caracasprin, I love that band, their songs are an antidote for those of us who were born and grew up in that era. That mug is a wonderful gift.
My question is: Have you ever sat down to listen to the songs of The Beatles while enjoying a delicious coffee in the cup with their image?
In my house there is always music playing, many times we put a long list of Beatles hits on spotify while we do our jobs, and although I had never thought about that, on more than one occasion these actions were simultaneous, because mornings are great for a good beat!
I assumed so. For such an emblematic mug, the enjoyment of its songs simultaneously is well deserved. I listen to them daily between various music from the 70s and 80s, and my favorite is "Hey Jude". What a valuable legacy your dad is giving you, friend.
☕️ My favorite mug ☕️
✨ Hello, good afternoon to the coffee lovers who are part of this pleasant conversation. I join you to share a bit of the gathering, and show you my favorite cup.
✨ I confess that I am a collector of mugs and that they all have a memory and a special value for me, but this is the most recent of my collection and it inspires me with an indescribable strength because it is part of my first experiences in Hive.
✨ It was a gift I received at the Hivers Gaming Day held at the Orinoco Company, where I participated months ago with my daughter and some friends.
Hey @annafenix
You need to continue the conversation by asking @caracasprin a question about her Beetles cup, that she did not mention in her introduction:) in English 😁
Hello!!
Ok, I already thought of a question.
