Hi,
So after years of avoiding it I finally made the pilgrimage with my small and growing family across town to visit the Mecca of all scandahoovianism, Ikea.
While wandering the kitchen goods I noticed they had some really well sized stoneware latte/coffee mugs with a glazed finish that had enough texture to made me think "perfect lathering mug." I saw at least 4-5 examples around the $4 mark as an alternative to the popular "budget-re-purposed" shaving mugs from Target, etc..
They also sell a 6-pack of 7oz "Godis" heavy bottom clear glasses for $6 a set that have a striking resemblance to the "whiskey glasses" I'd eyed up at $8 each ($48 for a set) at Crate and Barrel.
Sipping some Williams 6 year rye out of one of the whiskey glasses right now to recover my sanity from the retail madness...
Perhaps worth a look next time your wife drags you to Ikea to look at shoe organizers or curtains.
Cheers gents,
J

I don't have much to compare it against but it's working great for me.
