Buddha bowls - Vessels made just for your hand

buddha bowl
Writing about the personality-warming effects of heat, got me thinking about Buddha bowls. Have you seen these? They're large cups eagerly awaiting any warm tastiness that you want to pour in -- coffee, tea, cocoa, soup, cereal. This is one of those funky, pricey ($19 a pop!) products that actually has a functional use because the bowls are shaped to perfectly fit in the palm of your hand.

The curves and handle are curved in such a way that it feels like the cup has molded to your hand, making it wonderfully comfortable for holding and getting the most out of the heat that's emitted -- the Goldilocks bed of mugs. It's the sort of vessel you grab when you want to curl up and slowly sip on your hot drink without putting the cup back down.

And it sure beats some of the other options out there. Have you ever tried drinking super-hot coffee out of one of those regular-sized mugs that has a tiny circle for a handle? They're so hard to drink from -- flashy style should never get in the way of your coffee or warm beverage indulgence.

It's a different experience though, as picking it up is a bit of a trick until you get in your palm, and I haven't tried it with REALLY hot beverages yet, as I don't know how well insulated it would be on the bottom. But holding it automatically makes you want to curl up on a couch and relax.
