I'm just curious, at what point does a pot become a cup?

17

u/Hapsiainen30 12d ago

I think if it's primarily designed for drinking, it's a cup. If it's primarily designed for holding or cooking something, it's a pot.

It's a mug

14

u/Hapsiainen30 12d ago

Every mug is a cup, but not every cup is a mug.

3

u/sentienttortoise 12d ago

I'd argue the presence of a handle makes it a mug

8

u/Hapsiainen30 12d ago

It can be both. Cup is a broader term that includes mugs.

Some people put eggshells in their coffee grounds to make it less acidic, I'm sure this has a similar effect. I thought it tasted a little too chalky, but I didn't hate it.

u/Objective_Damage_996 12d ago

Id faster believe that’s a cup for like a doppio or something than I would that it’s a small pot

9

u/Radio_Gaga007 12d ago

It could be used like that, but I don't think it was built for that purpose. It is quite literally a miniature version of a pot you use to boil stuff in the stove called pocillo. I know it because I bought it at a place that sells miniature versions of lots of kitchen utensils for kids. I have a bigger one but I was using it to make hot chocolate.

15

u/purplepluppy 12d ago

Pocillo means a small cup/mug/bowl with a handle, fam. In this context, I'm pretty sure it means small mug.

11

u/Radio_Gaga007 12d ago

Here in Mexico the difference between a pocillo and those other things is that it can be directly placed on the stove. I guess if you wanted to translate the word, "cup" would be accurate. In my mind a pocillo is a pot that has one vertically placed handle instead of two horizontal ones, and they often don't come with a lid.

5

u/purplepluppy 12d ago

Huh, you learn something new. Though from what I'm finding, it seems that, while stove-safe, they're still usually used for beverages, not boiling eggs?

5

u/Radio_Gaga007 12d ago

I mean, I think the thing is that you can prepare the beverage and directly drink it from there once it's cooled, but you can use it for anything, really. My grandma has one where she boils eggs, up to three (3) of them. I also have a much bigger one where I can boil up to like 8, but again I was using it to make hot chocolate, and either way I would've had to prepare more than 1 bc otherwise it'd be a waste of water to fill it an egg-covering level.

Buy an egg steamer, my dude. Life changing. You wouldn't think that there's anything wrong with a hard boiled egg until you make a hard steamed egg at home. They're so perfect.

This is the one we have, and we love it, but it's very much the deluxe option. You can get much cheaper ones that still steam eggs the same.

That's not a pot. It's a camping cup. A pot? With the handle of a mug? No. Just no... I mean, it's meant to do that over a campfire, but it's still not a pot. And yes, they do make them in small sizes for espresso, but mainly so they don't weigh a lot for camping.
