A cup is provided including a generally cylindrical reservoir having top and bottom ends and a sidewall. The bottom end is defined and the top end defines an opening in the reservoir. A handle structure is affixed to the sidewall. The handle structure includes upper and lower portions fixed to and extending from the sidewall structure. A vertical portion extends between and joins the first and second portion. The handle structure also includes a substantially vertical plate affixed to the first and second portions so that the vertical plate is disposed therebetween, the vertical plate being disposed between the sidewall and the vertical portion such that a lateral distance from the vertical plate to the sidewall is less than a lateral distance from the vertical plate to the vertical member, so as to isolate the user\s fingers from contact with the sidewall. The upper and lower portions are inclined from horizontal so as to facilitate gripping and maximize finger room in the handle.

A cup comprising: a main body having bottom and top ends and an interconnecting sidewall structure, said bottom end defining a closed bottom surface of said main body, said top end defining an opening to a reservoir in said main body, and a handle structure affixed to said main body, said handle structure including: upper and lower handle portions, each having proximal and distal ends, said proximal ends of said upper and lower handle portions each being fixed to said sidewall of said main body so that said upper and lower handle portions extend outwardly from said sidewall, said lower handle portion having upper and lower generally flat, parallel surfaces, said lower handle portion being inclined with respect to horizontal so as to extend downwardly away from said main body along at least a portion of a length of said lower handle portion, whereby said upper and lower parallel surfaces of said lower handle portion are both inclined downwardly along said inclined portion of said lower handle; a generally vertical portion spaced from said sidewall structure and extending between and joining said upper and lower handle portions; a plate member fixed to at least one of said upper and lower handle portions and extending generally vertically along at least a substantial portion of a distance between said upper and lower handle portions and spaced from said sidewall structure; and a generally horizontal plate element coupled to and extending between said plate member and said vertical portion.
