It should be fine if you have the ability to open your hand a little and grab this mug like you grab a glass.

With how thin the mug is, it’ll be way too hot to hold if doing coffee/tea. It’s a novelty design and disregards all the functionality of a mug. I was gifted some slim factor mugs and they were completely useless, but they looked nice.

Why do you have to call me out like that?

This would be more analogous to rock climbing if cliffs regularly and rapidly rotated 90-120 degrees and your center of mass shifted and oscillated like a fluid at the same time. A grip that works one direction does not necessarily work nearly as well when rotated or weight shifted.

If you can't get enough grip on a pinch to drink from a coffee mug, you won't have enough to hold your body weight.

I think it's just a neat mug for someone into rock climbing, not meant to actually train someone.

True with crimps, not as important with pinches, which is what this mug is

Yeah, I mean I'd probably just ask for a regular mug, but isn't this more of a novelty and not really marketed to us?

It's replacing the ear of the cup. You're not supposed to hold it by grabbing it with your hand (like a glass), but by the tip of your fingers.

I'm sorry, the ear? You mean the handle?

Who calls it the ear?

In Denmark we call it Hank

Ear seems reasonable enough compared
