Styrophoam because it has a lot of particles squished together, while the ceramic cup has only fiber and very few particles. And the more particles in any substance equals a warmer being.

Why is a roof made of zinc hotter than a roof made of ceramic on a hot day?
A roof made of zinc is hotter because, unlike ceramic, it reflects the sunlight and radiation off of the surface. On the other hand, ceramic absorbs the light, and the heat is trapped inside, so no heat escapes. Therefore, it is not as hot as the zinc would be.

Why doesn't a ceramic coffee cup keep coffee hot for very long?
Actually coffee does not stay hotter in a ceramic cup vs a Styrofoam cup, but would stay hotter in a ceramic cup vs a paper cup.A good insulator for a water based liquid will reduce conduction and convection. Styrofoam works well keeping coffee warm because it has a small mass and a large volume. The small mass helps eliminate conduction. The large volume is because the sintering process traps tiny pockets of air that help eliminate convection. With those two together you get hot coffee longer.

Why Choose A Ceramic Grill?
Ceramic BBQ grills have many advantages over traditional gas grills. Ceramic grills are easier to clean because they get much hotter in temperature and will burn everything down to ash which can simply be emptied. They do not have all the parts that a traditional gas grill has, so there is less risk of something breaking. They are cheaper to operate too - the fuel is about half the cost as traditional propane.
