Why the mug matters

Thin cups steal heat from the coffee and give it straight back to the room. A thick stoneware mug takes a little more at the first pour, then works as a reservoir and radiates it back into the drink. Warm the mug with hot water while the coffee brews and the difference is not subtle. The journal explains the physics in Why Your Coffee Goes Cold.

Three glazes, one shape

Colour Glaze Foot
Dove Grey Soft speckled grey Raw clay
Harbor Blue Deep slate blue Raw clay
Wheat Warm sand Raw clay

Every mug is 12 oz, dishwasher and microwave safe, and glazed so the line between glaze and clay falls a little differently on each one. Care tips for keeping them in service for decades are in Ceramic Care.

Questions about Stoneware Mugs & Drinkware

How much do TOMO mugs hold?

12 oz (355 ml) each. They are sold as matching pairs in Dove Grey, Harbor Blue and Wheat.

Are TOMO mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?

Yes. The glaze is fired glass and the body is high-fired stoneware. The unglazed foot darkens slightly with years of use.

Why does stoneware keep coffee hot?

A thick stoneware wall has real thermal mass. Warm the mug with hot water for thirty seconds before pouring and it holds drinkable temperature roughly twice as long as a thin cup.
