I'm a mere piker in this department: my favorite mug is only 16 oz.

I think the sff.net mug is a nearly perfect size, although I won't use
it for soup per se, I will use it for bouillon.

I never use any cup for soup. But I'm a -serious- coffee/tea drinker,
and I find cups under 14 oz a bother. Weren't the SFF Net ones only 10
oz? (Mind, I'd buy one anyway. I use the little ones for guests.)

It's a start, hehe, it's a start. We'll get you hooked on, oh, say, 20 oz.
mugs, let you get used to those, then *blammo*, you'll be begging for the
"big stuff"! Mwuhahahahahaaaaa!

It takes the really big ones to handle a whole can of soda along with
a nice handful of ice. Hard to find commodity... (coffee? What's
coffee?>

Oh, well, for cold stuff. That's different. I drink my coffee or tea
cold most of the day, and for that I require an insulated mug that
holds at least 32 oz. (Size -does- matter.)
