Know before you buy
The 14-ounce capacity represents the total volume when filled to the very top. For a comfortable pour that leaves room for milk or cream without spilling, you can expect a practical capacity of about 12 ounces.
Yes, the stoneware construction is broiler-safe. Just ensure you allow for a few inches of clearance between the mug and the heating element to prevent thermal shock.
The premium, nonporous glaze is specifically engineered to resist scratches and stains. While it is highly durable, we recommend using a silicone or wooden spoon to maintain the pristine finish over many years of daily use.
Le Creuset stoneware is denser than standard ceramic, providing superior heat retention. It will keep your coffee or tea warm for significantly longer, especially if you pre-warm the mug with a splash of hot water first.
The bistro mug features a classic, ergonomic handle designed to accommodate a comfortable grip for most hand sizes. Its balanced weight ensures it feels secure and steady while you are holding it.
