I, from the start, visualised the coffee cup having a lid. The author seems to have a blind spot in his assumption it doesn't. To me "coffee cup" slightly implies a lid because arguably a ceramic mug is simply "a cup" or "a mug"
- redox99 4y agoIt says he's in his house (not starbucks, as an example). In that setting a coffee cup makes me think of a ceramic mug. If it had a lid I would call it travel mug.
- ryukafalz 4y agoPretty subjective. I have a few reusable coffee cups like the ones Starbucks sells. They're certainly not travel mugs, they're just sturdier versions of a disposable coffee cup. So I think that's also a reasonable interpretation.
- devnullbrain 4y agoPersonally - and I think it is very personal - I would be more likely to take a Starbucks cup home than to refer to a home coffee vessel as a cup.
