What is a double handle mug?

A double handle mug is a mug that has an extra handle so that you can enjoy your hot drinks safely.

These mugs usually have two extra-large handles to give you more grip, stability, and control. You can also find an adapter that adds a handle to your existing mugs.

A double handle mug is useful if you are one handed, have a hand tremor, or if you have lack of strength and limited dexterity.
