The wall decides how warm the cup feels in the hand. A single wall cup is light and simple, and often needs a sleeve for very hot drinks.
Double and ripple wall cups add a layer that keeps fingers more comfortable.
| Wall | Feels in the hand | Sleeve needed |
|---|---|---|
| Single wall | Warm | Often, for very hot drinks |
| Double wall | Comfortable | Usually not |
| Ripple wall | Comfortable with grip | Usually not |
