You dont have to be the touchy-feely type to appreciate the new PAVINA mugs but still they are wonderful to the touch. The silicone sleeve protects your hand from excessive heat and the mug from slipping out of your hand. They come in different sizes, different beautiful colors and they are dishwasher safe. Not only do the new PAVINA mugs serve coffee, tea and hot chocolate, they certainly are perfect for desserts as well, e.g. ice cream. Which one is your own private favorite?
