Drinking cups

I prefer a clean cup, with or without a handle, holds between 8 ounces and 20 ounces, microwavable for hot chocolate but otherwise made of whatever material is easy to clean. It must not have cracks or crevices or a sharp top edge or a gas station logo. A lid is occasionally useful, but not required, and will probably get lost in the cupboard. Now this is completely separate from the water bottle, which must have a lid, be extraordinarily durable, and hold between 20 and 50 ounces. A handle is useful on the water bottle but not required, as long as the diameter of the bottle does not exceed the grip diameter of my hand. Cheerful colors are a plus; empty weight should not exceed the ounce capacity they hold. China mugs with handles broken off may continue in use if the body is not cracked. Cheap plastic should not be microwaved, especially if it threatens to melt. I like old Tupperware tumblers, but they don't like me; they're too hard to get my hand down in the bottom to clean. Grabbing a bottle brush is an extra movement which takes more time! Slightly wider, shallower cups are easier to wash.
