Matte Ceramic Coffee Mug with Angular Handle, Tall Shape, 380 ml (12.9 fl oz)

The second half of the cup is always cold

You brew a cup, get distracted, and twenty minutes later lukewarm coffee is sitting on your desk. This ceramic mug keeps drinks warm longer because two things come together: a thick wall that stores heat, and a tall, narrow shape that exposes less surface area relative to its content, through which heat can escape.

What distinguishes this mug from thin-walled porcelain

• Thick ceramic wall: The ceramic body absorbs heat and slowly releases it back into the drink. A thin porcelain cup, on the other hand, conducts it outwards, where it is lost.
• Tall, narrow cylindrical shape: Less open surface area relative to volume means less evaporation and less heat loss upwards – the reason why flat, wide cups cool down the fastest.
• Angular handle with a large opening: Two to three fingers fit through it. For a tall, top-heavy mug, this is crucial for a secure grip.
• Matte, unglazed-looking surface: It scatters light instead of reflecting it and provides grip for your hand, even if your fingers are damp.
• Cloudy pattern in the material: The coloring runs irregularly across the wall, so each mug looks slightly different. None of this is printed.
• Capacity 380 ml (12.9 fl oz): At 12 cm (4.7 in) high and 7.5 cm (3 in) in diameter, it's a large portion that fits on narrow coasters and in tight desk cup holders.

Perfect for home office desks where coffee sits next to work, for long mornings with a pot, for tea drinkers who like to brew a large portion, for workshops and studios, and as a gift for coffee lovers.

Can the mug go in the microwave?

No – only in the dishwasher. The matte surface is sensitive to abrasive cleaners and metal sponges, which leave fine scratches; also, arrange the mugs so they don't touch, as the rough exterior can cause abrasion on contact. Do not pour boiling water into a cold mug; instead, rinse it briefly with warm water: the thick wall reacts more sensitively to sudden temperature changes than thin porcelain. This very wall thickness is also the reason for its long heat retention – if you want to make full use of this effect, warm the mug briefly with hot water before pouring.

You reach for your cup again after twenty minutes – and the coffee is still hot.
