Re: Coffee cups in hotels
I've put coffee mugs in all our hotels as small cups of coffee/tea are just a plain waste of time.

Re: Coffee cups in hotels
just sayin'
Would you prefer to share breakfast with a Turk, drinking Turkish coffee out of a tiny Turkish coffee cup?
Or with an American, drinking American coffee out of an America sized mug?

I’d rather eat alone.

Re: Coffee cups in hotels
Probably not a bad second choice, but I’ll go with the Turk. So long as he doesn’t try to sell me something from the bazaar.
American coffee is to coffee what gutter oil is to stir fry.
While we’re bashing coffee cup stature, I wonder if we can fix the bit where a pot of tea involves a smallish teapot filled with not quite hot water, and a teabag still in its paper wrapper on the tray next to the pot?
I asked for a pot of tea, not a DIY project.
Pot, pre-warmed, big enough for at least three cups.
Tea, ideally loose leaf. Assam, Pekoe or lapSang.
Hot water.

Re: Coffee cups in hotels
In some countries, housekeeping staff are from outsourced companies and have to clean up to 30!!! rooms in an 8-hour shift. They cannot waste time, so do not expect that glasses are carried to the pantry to be placed in a dishwasher and then carried up again....
You may also not want to touch the bedspread (not cleaned often), disinfect the TV remote (never cleaned) and avoid rooms with carpets.
And the video below from China is probably an extreme; the guest must have pissed off the housekeeping staff.
In Asia, staff clean a lot less rooms per day and I expect shortcuts like that to happen less, though I have done checks in the past.
