Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Epare 12oz is the winner for me. All three mugs are good looking. Without testing it, I think they all retain heat about the same. The Bodum Bistro feels the best in my hand, is much heavier, but holds less and costs much more than the Epare and the Jocobi. The Bodum were my first of these and I promptly "tossed" one in the sink when it slipped out of my hand. Note that I did not just drop it, I slammed it into the sink. It broke and I figured that at $33 a pair, I should look at other options. The Epare 12 oz were discounted and I liked the idea of an extra two ounces so that a full cup is not so close to the brim. These are lighter than the Bodum but do not feel too light. Wanted to add two more mugs, I tried the Jocobi. They are the lowest price point of these three options. They are by far the lightest. They do not feel as nice, or as high quality, when in your hand. And they are also only 10oz like the Bodum but seem to hold a tiny bit less. The photos with coffee in the mugs all have exactly 10 oz of coffee. So, even the 10oz mugs hold a bit more than 10 oz. After a few weeks of owning all three, I find I reach for the Epare and the Bodum every morning. If money was not an issue, I'd suggest the Bodum if you are OK with a slightly smaller mug. IMO, the Epare is the best mug for overall value. Great quality feel, size, and looks.
