The only reason I didn't rate this cute coffee cup five stars is its size. I wish it held a little more coffee at one time, especially since the rolled lip means you can't fill it and walk with it.
Also, because it's double-walled ceramic and wide at the top, this mug quickly cools your coffee. For those who actually like a hot cup of coffee (give me warm, thank you very much), you can pre-warm the cup by filling it with hot water for a minute or two.
Note: Despite my hopes, the "I Am Not a Paper Cup" lids do not fit this cup.

I bought my hubby a couple of these for Christmas (along with a Frieling 33oz. Stainless Steel French Press from Clive Coffee--fabulous french press!!) and they're great. They feel sturdy and are comfortable in your hand, and they fit well into our car's center-console cupholder.

I was born in NYC and remember the paper version of this cup from my youth. I moved away and then back in my 20's, met my husband there (who was from elsewhere) and we moved away in the 1970's. He didn't remember the cup but now we've seen it on 2 or 3 TV shows or movies set in NY, and because of the quality of this cup its hard to know if those were made of paper or your ceramic. I really do love this cup - feel of the ceramic and that it doesn't have a high gloss finish. Plus its a fun conversation piece. I ordered one for our son who was born in NY too.

New York nostalgia made me buy this...but the way it feels in my hands made me order three more.

Purchased these solely for nostalgia purposes for my sister and me. I have always loved the NYC Greek coffee cups, and now, even though I live pretty far from NY, I have a permanent one.

This coffee cup is a faithful recreation of the famous New York City deli coffee cup, from the pattern and colors right down to the slightly off shape that sometimes comes with paper cups.
The detail is the neatest thing about this mug. It has a fold in the lip and a crease along the side where the pattern seems to finish its "wrap". I'm not sure if it's totally faithful to the actual height of the original paper cup, because it does seem much shorter than other paper cups.
It's a good weight and is quite unusual, especially since it has no mug handle.

I love these mugs! They're perfect for the office, where everyone else has paper cups.
