I ordered these for their cute color, but mainly the size. It is the perfect size for an 8oz coffee. You can have some foam on top and stir in a little sugar without worrying if you will spill. In the dark at 5am, that's nice. The lips on the cups are thin enough where it's a nice comfortable sip, and no worry of dribble.
For the packaging. We actually ordered the 14oz grey ones also and they came the same day. The grey ones had tons of bubble wrap and extremely well protected. These colored ones were thrown in a box that came with significant damage, and some paper to surround them. I had my camera out and was shocked they weren't broken. Do better on that Staub, its not hard and it blows my mind you'd risk all these constantly like that, why ship them so differently?
These mugs are well made and nicely balanced. The handle is comfortable and the size is perfect for a generous cup of coffee or tea. The colors are versatile for any decor style.
