Whatever you choose to partake in, there are ways to make it more enjoyable, whether sipping coffee alone or hosting a cocktail party. To help you out, we sought out ways to enjoy your favorite drinks at home from early morning coffee or tea cups to a water carafe on your bedside table, and everything in between.

Radiant Crystal Water Glasses by Puik Design
Don’t forget to hydrate! Caffeinated beverages (and alcoholic ones!) can dehydrate you so make sure to keep up with your water drinking, which is much more delightful out of fancy mouth blown crystal glasses like these. Plus, you can also use these glasses for mixed beverages, wine, or whiskey.

A bit of a splurge, but one you can use this set for anything, from everyday use to parties. The handmade set includes one retro-inspired carafe and six glasses that would make for excellent afternoons sipping iced tea or lemonade libations.

Kronos Double-Wall Wine Glass by KINTO
It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere, right? So you better get prepared for wine time with this double-walled glass that will keep your drink cold without condensation AND it won’t tip over like a stemmed version. Plus, the outer shell has a lip that makes it easy to grip, especially after a glass or two.

Copper Cup by Yield Design
If Moscow Mules are your drink of choice, you need a good copper cup to enjoy them in, like these from Yield Design. Made of pure copper, the cups are functional and versatile with insulating and antimicrobial qualities making it an ideal pick.

Monti Birra by Sempli
For the beer drinker, this stout glass is designed in such a way that enhances the flavors of different types of beer and boosts their effervescence at the same time.

Short Glass Carafe + Glass Cup by Gary Bodker Designs
