I was given a Lang Mug when I started my new Job.  I never thought I would be a one mug kind of guy but it has been nice having a good looking mug and there is the added convenience of knowing what mug is mine all the time.  It holds a good 16oz and retains its heat for 20-30 mins before becoming to cool to drink.  It’s easy to wash and is dishwasher and microwave safe.  For 20 bucks it would make a solid gift for any avid coffee drinker and holds an added aesthetic value.  I have gifted them to my sister and my roommate and they use them very frequently and love their looks.  The amount of different mug shapes and designs almost assure you can find the right mug for the necessary person.  Lang and Cypress have good looking mugs for guys and gals.
