Thoughts?

-Handle, No handle?
-Glass, Ceramic?
-Metal, Enamel?

Glass actually has lower thermal conductivity than ceramic, but because they are transparent they tend to look nastier.
I tend to be afraid of pouring hot liquids in glass because of regular glass is temperature-sensitive.

Perhaps the ideal mug would be made of cloudy heat-resistant glass.

Like this one? They're all Borosilicate if it's used in a mug.
