What is the Best Ergonomic Mug?
Ergonomic mugs are a small but growing niche primarily consisting of a few small brands, while most major brands and manufacturers tend to stick to more traditional handle designs.
While ergonomic mugs are not common, many people can find that the extra thought put into the handle translates to a better overall grip and experience.
For some people, it's a simple improvement that can make enjoying coffee each morning just a little better. For others, particularly those with arthritis, weak or unsteady grips, or limb difference, a well-designed ergonomic mug that fits the person's natual grip style and capabilities can make all the difference.
Let's look at three of the top options on the market today.
2 or 3-Fingers-Through-Loop Grips
Momnt
The counterbalance handle gives you a better grip that never slips, and the bottom part is also wider and contoured to prevent pain points.
It can be the best fit for people who hold standard handles with 2 or 3 fingers through the loop and have at least one finger on the outside of the handle.
Plus it looks awesome (though we're biased)!
Whole-Hand Grip
CURVD
CURVD Mugs have a very wide gap between the handle and the mug body, making them a good option if you prefer a full-hand-grip by sliding your hand through the handle.
It's also a very wide handle, which helps spread out the weight against your hand and fingers if you hold it more traditionally by gripping the handle itself.
Whole-Hand Grip
Jamber
Designed and patented around the average human hand, this is truly engineered for a comfortable whole-hand grip by the handle.
Unfortunately this product is not manufactured anymore to our knowledge, but you can still search for it and find some options, including on eBay.
Self-Heating
Nextmug
While this is a more traditional style handle than the above-mentioned options, Nextmug is notable for contouring the inside edges so it's more comfortable for your fingers that wrap around the handle.
This differentiates Nextmug from many stainless steel options on the market that have more angular handle edges that can cut into your fingers. It's also a bigger handle compared to Ember, which is the most comparable self-heating mug available.
