A '''coffee cup''' may refer to a type of [[Drinkware|cup]] from which [[coffee]] is drunk. Coffee cups are typically made of [[glaze]]d [[ceramic]], and have a single [[handle]], allowing for portability while still hot. Ceramic construction allows to be drunk while hot, providing [[insulation]] to the [[beverage]], and quickly washed with cold [[water]] without fear of breakage, compared to typical [[vessel]]s made of glass.
Some types of cups are quite exclusively used for drinking coffee, such as an [[espresso]] [[demitasse]] or [[cappucino]] cup. Other types of cups commonly used for coffee but are also commonly used for other beverages as well include a [[teacup]] or [[mug]]. Coffee cups have long been used as promotional items, with [[corporate logo]]s, messages ("[[Worlds Best Dad]]"), or in the [[office]], a statement of character, political affiliation emblazoned on the side of the mug.<br />
A coffee cup may also refer to disposable cups from which hot beverages (including coffee) are drunk. Disposable coffee cups typically are made of paper or [[styrofoam]]. [[Paper cup]]s at fashionable [[coffee house]]s often come with a [[cardboard sleeve]] to help retain heat and avoid double-cupping, which saves on materials.
