LE CREUSETStoneware Espresso Mug, 100 ml - Satin Black

I bought a teal and a red as a Christmas present for my partner. She loves them.Firstly they look better in hand, the pictures don't do them justice and the pictures are by no means awful. I think we both prefer the teal, which is unfortunate because I bought that one as mine and the red as hers.Size was a point of consideration for me, I toyed between the 350ml and the grand mug. Since we mostly drink coffee I made the right choice. They're quite large, any larger and you would start getting weak coffee. Despite this they retain heat quite well, my partners complaint was that she was in a rush and it wouldn't cool down quick enough.The handle is big enough to fit two fingers through easily and the whole thing is smooth and slightly weighty. You know it's a good mug but your wrist doesn't have to ache basically.Just buy it and find yourself drinking more coffee and tea just to hold it. Or do as I do, take it to bed and give it the cuddles and love something beautiful deserves.

I love this mug! At 100ml volume it's a wee bit big for an espresso (which I don't drink anyway) but the perfect size for my preferred cortado ( I use Dolce Gusto Cortado Pods). The colour is rich and bright, the finish smooth and glossy and it washes great by hand (I don't have a dishwasher so no idea how dishwasher resistant it is). The handle isn't too small like on many small mugs and is comfortable to hold. It's solid, sturdy, but not too heavy - though it definitely won't blow over in a breeze! I just wish there were even more colours to choose from......

If like me you never really gave much thought to which mug you drank your tea or coffee out of, then a tenner may seem a lot to pay out for a mug. But, you see, just think about the number of times a day you use a mug and reason that you deserve a good one. Because you do, and these are the mugs to get. They're just the right size, the finish is tough, the colours nice and they feel good to drink from. Yes, I know it's 'just a mug', but honestly you should just ahead and buy a few in your favourite colours. They are the perfect mug and make life just a little bit better. Especially in the morning, when you bring yourself back to life with a coffee. I've ended up with four and don't use any of my other mugs anymore.

Been using these mugs for the last month now. Instead of getting a set all the same colour, I went for one of each for a little variation and some colour to the kitchen.The mugs feel solid, but comfortable in the hand, typical Le Creuset quality. They can be microwaved, go in the dishwasher and apparently even oven-baked to 290 degrees!Love the colours, but had to also get this manly satin black. The stoneware internal surface is the same found on other Le Creuset oven dishes etc. so is hard-wearing, easily washable and doesn't seem to hold tea or coffee stains like all my other mugs.Highly recommended.

Great mugs. Very stylish and hold 350ml, so just over a standard can of fizzy drink. Lovely to hold in the hand and people do comment on them.It might be just me but I don’t think they hold the heat as well as other cups though. Don’t get me wrong - hot drinks don’t go cold in seconds but tea is definitely drinkable within 5 minutes when other cups we have it’s maybe double that.Very subjective that one though. Some people have asbesdos mouths and can drink it straight from the kettle!

I bought this because the mugs we're given at work are quite thin and burn your hands if you touch them. The boiling water taps we have spurt out some very hot water, much hotter than you'd get out of a kettle.This Creuset mug is a bit better at keeping the heat in the mug and off your hand, though still too hot to handle for too long. Then again, that is what the handle is for.It looks good, has a nice matte finish which I like. Unlike others, I have seen no imperfections on mine, no vertical lines or anything odd like that.Holds a decent amount of tea, though has quite a large diameter so is more prone to spilling when I stir too fast.

A gorgeous coloured mug to go with my le creuset mug collected. They are not cheap, but having the opportunity to buy them separately helps to ease the pain of parting with that amount of money for mugs! They are very hardwearing! The first mug I bought was 4 years ago; despite moving house and daily journeys to the dishwasher, there hasn't been a single chip yet!!! To boot, the mugs appear to resist staining, even though I drink a lot of black coffee. So yes, they are expensive but I am a firm believer that if you buy cheap, you buy twice (this is not always true with brands, I appreciate!) with the quality and aesthetics being worth every penny.

Its more than a Mug.Shape, Colour and form, a true all rounder in every aspect.Id liken it to the David Beckham equivalent of mugs. It won't let you down.It can handle the traditional Tea along with the caffeine fuelled 'cross over' to the flamboyant continental Coffee.1 year ago today on transfer deadline day.I happened to come across 2 of these mugs plying there trade in the harsh Amazon.Primed and ready, i signed there and then.Ill name them Andy and Dwight, a prolific double pairing.They both shared the liquid load very well indeed.Scoring in every cup along the way.In summary ladies and gents -We all like a double of anything and everything in life..But...Everyone knows, The Treble is always sweeter.Moore
