My Favorite Mug

Whenever it's the weekend, I'm finished with my homework, and I'm feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, I feel it's the perfect time to record a video. I sit at my desk, turn on my computer, and exhale a quiet sigh of relief--it's finally the weekend. I typically record shorter, easier to finish videos, like a Yoshi's Island part. If I'm working on a video that takes more time and effort, I skip the recording and work on those instead.

Each time I do this, I have my favorite In-N-Out mug--filled with half a cup of black coffee--right beside my keyboard. I got it as a gift years ago, and it's been the only mug that I've used since. The In-N-Out mug is a cylindrical shaped mug (meaning no odd shapes) with the drink cup design over it. It's simple, yet it looks good. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures of it online because they stopped making the exact one I have. The latest ones are red inside and are slightly taller, which I don't like as much. I prefer the white inside and appreciate how the margins for the design are pretty large. Thankfully, I can take a picture of my personal one and show you.

I removed the background of this one, but here it is. As you can see from the coffee stains, I'm using it right now as I write this. They've released a few vintage cups that resemble this design, but I still prefer this one. Maybe I'm biased--I've had this cup for years--but to me it looks the best (although I will say the burger one looks cool). 

As for the coffee, I enjoy the Mcafé medium roast. I'm no coffee expert--and I don't drink it often enough to pretend that I am--but honestly, the Mcdonald's one isn't bad. Whether you grab it at the actual place or just make it yourself at home, it'll do the job. 

I like Starbucks, don't get me wrong. I just feel like Starbucks is meant for other types of coffee and drinks. I never get mochas, lattes, or cappuccinos. I hate the taste of milk in my coffee, so I drink it black. All those other types of coffees have significant amounts of milk, creamer, sugars, etc. in them that I don't care for. Call me an old white man, but I love it either black or with half a drop of milk. Whenever I go to Starbucks, I get the Pike Place roast. 

This In-N-Out mug is always my go-to mug, and it hits especially hard on a Saturday morning when I'm ready to film a video. Am I slightly addicted to the coffee? Maybe. Is it worth it for that little boost and taste? Yeah.
