If there is one thing consistent in my life it’s my everyday consumption of coffee. I can’t think of a day where I didn’t wake up and make a pot of coffee.
Caffeine aside, it’s the ritual of grinding the beans, filling the filter, taking in the smells, and walking the dog while my coffee brews. It’s my peaceful morning routine that I wouldn’t change for anything.
How I drink my coffee is a whole other topic, however, if we are talking about mugs I can certainly speak to that. Many years ago I was introduced to ‘Cowboy Coffee’ at a dude ranch in Colorado. The cowboy served our group our morning brew in these cool rustic coffee mugs perfect for the setting we were in. Every since then, I’ve been on the hunt for rustic mugs like the ones he poured our coffee in, but very little luck… until now.

East Fork Pottery The Mug
Handmade stoneware mugs made in North Carolina out of regional clay. East Fork Pottery has come a long way since their early days of a massive wood-fired kiln in a barn out back of an old farm. But that’s not to say each of their pieces doesn’t receive the same kind of individual attention and finishing that they built their reputation on. Each of their signature Mugs is handled by a human at every stage of the 13-step process, ensuring quality and consistency in their most popular vessel. The handmade nature gives each mug it’s own unique variations in glaze and surface, making each one a one-of-a-kind addition to your mug collection.
