Customer Reviews of Fiesta Cobalt 453 10-1/4-Ounce Mugs, Set of 4
Stick your finger in it Hunting and collecting is the fun way to obtain this product. However if you have not got the time or the inclination, purchasing is the next best thing. (See my review of "Collector's Encyclopedia of Fiesta" ISBN: 1574322125 <

>Most Fiestaware stick to the rule "form follows function." In the case of these mugs the designer deviated. You know what I am about to say. What to you do with your other fingers after you stuck one in the small portal on the side of the mug full of hot liquid? <

It burns, it burns!
I really love my fiestaware, but these mugs are enough to suck the joy from the whole set. I wish they offered an option of practical (non-jumbo) mugs, so that fiesta purists could have these and people who want practical drinkware could have something comfortable.
The problem, as others have noted, is the handle. However for me it's not really the awkwardness of having to support the mug with just one finger. Rather, it's the way you have to brace it with your other fingers against the burning hot mug. The thing conducts heat like mad, and even the thickened bit under the handle is too hot for me to keep contact with for more than a quick sip. A mug should not be painful to use! I wind up holding it with two hands on the top and bottom edges, or waiting until it cools and drinking my beverage cold. That's if I use the mugs at all--we gave up on them and keep a separate set of mugs for our use and mostly just bring these out when we care if things look nice and match.
These things have been around forever, and it's obvious that a significant percentage of people just hate them. I just can't understand why over the years they haven't come out with an alternative.
Meh.
These are the most bizarre coffee mugs I've ever owned. Yeah, they look really neat, but the "handle" is just a little circle that's hard to grip.
If you like holding your coffee mug with just your index finger and spilling the contents all over the place, this is the mug for YOU!
The capacity is very small, too. All of my other mugs hold a good deal more than these.
I wouldn't buy these particular mugs now that I've had them (they were a gift!) nor would I give them as a gift to anyone else. Does Fiestaware make another kind of mug? Maybe they're better-designed than these ones.
