With how thin the mug is, it’ll be way too hot to hold if doing coffee/tea. It’s a novelty design and disregards all the functionality of a mug. I was gifted some slim factor mugs and they were completely useless, but they looked nice.
This would be more analogous to rock climbing if cliffs regularly and rapidly rotated 90-120 degrees and your center of mass shifted and oscillated like a fluid at the same time. A grip that works one direction does not necessarily work nearly as well when rotated or weight shifted.

I want to spill my coffee all the time too

It should be fine if you have the ability to open your hand a little and grab this mug like you grab a glass.

I’ve known shepherd pie to be quite the opposite

If you can't get enough grip on a pinch to drink from a coffee mug, you won't have enough to hold your body weight.

That is also true.

I think it's just a neat mug for someone into rock climbing, not meant to actually train someone.

True with crimps, not as important with pinches, which is what this mug is
DrBob@lemmy.ca · 41 pts · 2y
I'd hold it like a glass.
chetradley@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
Yeah, I mean I'd probably just ask for a regular mug, but isn't this more of a novelty and not really marketed to us?

Why ?? Wouldn't it me more grippy than usual plain smooth glasses and cups ?

It's replacing the ear of the cup. You're not supposed to hold it by grabbing it with your hand (like a glass), but by the tip of your fingers.
RGB3x3@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y
I'm sorry, the ear? You mean the handle?
Who calls it the ear?
Poiar@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 2y
In Denmark we call it Hank
Ear seems reasonable enough compared
