You’ll know you’re onto something with the best coffee mugs for your Airbnb when guests ask you where the mugs are from. It seems like such a small detail, but waking up with hot coffee out of a mug that feels good in your hand is one of those little pleasures that makes a stay oh so much better. It adds to the overall experience, the look, and, yes, the Instagram post.
First, A Few Things to Consider When Choosing Coffee Mugs For Your Airbnb
Before you buy a dozen new coffee mugs for your Airbnb, here are a few things to consider.
Cost: Guests are going to break your mugs. That’s the reality. I think we’ve lost more mugs than wine glasses — and that’s saying something. So cheap (but not too cheap!) is good.
Weight: Most people like a mug with some weight to it. They know a cheap mug when they pick one up and it sets the tone for their entire morning.
Size: A small mug is cute, but we’ve found guests go in for the big guy when they wake up on vacation. Think 16 oz.
Thermal properties: Does the coffee stay hot? That’s possibly the most critical consideration.
Style: Shockingly, there are many, many styles of coffee mugs. Which one goes with your Airbnb’s aesthetic?
