The Mug Grinch
There is a type of person who can't handle a proper full size mug.
He is the Mugman's nemesis.
He is...
The Mug Grinch.

Muffin Break
I had no idea I was about to have one of the worst coffee experiences of my life.
And at a well-established franchise, no less.
Ask for a mugguccino, or hell, even a regular cappuccino if that's what you're after, and the server will refuse your order. It has to be either a small, a medium or large size. Muffin Break are breaking all the rules on this one.
How does the caffeine levels work with this system? Does it go up by shots, i.e. small has one, medium has two and the large beast have three? Or do they cheat and fool you with extra milk, therefore weakening the coffee/milk ratio?
Well, the Mugman is no fool. Last time I'll be putting up with this idiocy.
For the record I ordered a small cappuccino for mother Mugman and I myself had a medium size (I was very wary of excessive milk being used).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scoring system:
1. Reaction (You're an idiot = 0; quizzical = 5; just another order = 10)
2. Served in a mug (No mug = 0; yes mug = 10)
3. Additional Cost for Mugguccino (>$1 = 0; between .50c and $1 = 5; <.50c = 10)

Joined by the Mugman's mother, another mugguccino enthusiast, we ventured to Sydney's south and reviewed Rubyniks. Located in the massive Westfields Miranda, this cafe is packed due to the constant flow of Shire folk toddling laps of the mall.
As the waitress delivered menus to our table she wasted no time in asking what drinks we were after. Mugman's mother ordered first: a mugguccino on skim milk, naturally. The waitress nonchalantly scribbled that down as she'd been doing it all day. I ordered next and, confident that she was comfortable with her coffee knowledge - inquired what exactly was in a mugguccino at this particular establishment. She recited the answer instantly: a double shot of coffee in a mug. And afterwards I swear she tightened her eyes and gave a small shrug, as if to say, 'duh'. I felt like explaining to her "I completely understand!" but I remembered I am the Mugman, and anonymity is imperative.

Knew how to make a mugguccino. Price let them down unfortunately, but given that it's located in a mall this is expected.
