The brand also designed it with an easy one-handed drinking feature that allows you to open the lid and sip your beverage at the push of a button.Īfter testing the mug firsthand, our expert found its vacuum insulation to be even better than advertised. It’s leakproof and spill-proof due to the mug's “Autoseal” feature that locks the lid in place. It's available in four sizes ranging from 10 to 24 ounces, so you can find one that holds enough coffee to last throughout the workday.

It would have been a nice touch if the set included glass saucers, too. They are reasonably priced, especially for their quality, but we don't quite consider them a budget option. De'Longhi typically sells them in sets of two, but they are also available in sets of six if you like to entertain. Our testing process confirmed that the double-walled insulation keeps drinks hot longer than average, too granted, this isn't always necessary for a drink that can be finished in a few sips.Įach glass hold up to 2 ounces, which eliminates some guesswork because it's the exact size of a double espresso shot. They stay cool to the touch even when the espresso is piping hot. Our tester found them convenient to pick up, since you don't have to fit your fingers into a little handle, and easy to drink from. That timeless image gets swapped out for an equally elegant, but more modern look with these glass espresso cups from De'Longhi. One of the first images likely to drift into your mind when thinking about espresso is of a tiny white cup and saucer. And if you like the design, but prefer it to drink your morning espresso instead, it comes in a 3-ounce version, too (which you can also buy in a set of four).Ĭapacity: 13.5 ounces | Dimensions: 3.75 x 5.25 x 4.25 inches | Material: Stoneware Aside from that, this mug received a stellar review. Le Creuset also labels it as 400 milliliters, which is, instead, roughly 13.5 ounces. One detail our product tester pointed out is that the mug's capacity is a tad smaller than the advertised figure of 14 ounces. It's safe in the dishwasher and microwave as well as the oven if you to swap your coffee for a brownie in a mug. You’re bound to find a shade that matches your style or kitchen décor. Le Creuset is known for the various eye-catching colors its products come in, and this mug is no different with 20 color options to choose from. That said, the mugs are backed by 10-year warranty should any damage happen. A scant number of online reviews mention that chipping can occur, but fortunately, our tester didn't come across any issues during the testing process. The stoneware is heavy, creating a high-end feeling and indicating that the mug will hold up over years of use. It's comfortable to hold and drink from, thanks to a sturdy handle and gently curved lip. Our coffee expert tested it over the course of several days and found it to be a wonderful blend of style and performance.

For a classic everyday mug, it doesn’t get much better than this gorgeous stoneware option from Le Creuset.
