Know before you buy
No, this mug is not microwave safe. We recommend using it for serving hot coffee or tea, but avoid placing it in the microwave.
Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe. Because it is built to hospitality-grade standards, it is designed to withstand the rigors of commercial dishwashers, so it will hold up perfectly in your home machine.
A 9 oz capacity is slightly smaller than a standard 11 or 12 oz mug, making it ideal for specialty coffee drinks like flat whites, cortados, or a standard cup of drip coffee that you want to finish while it is still at the optimal temperature.
Hospitality-grade means the mug is manufactured to be exceptionally durable and resistant to chipping or cracking. You are getting a piece of drinkware designed to survive the high-traffic environment of a busy restaurant, which translates to a very long lifespan for everyday home use.
The signature Sam Larson artwork is applied to the high-quality clay surface. The mug is fired at 2,500 degrees to ensure the design is integrated into the vitreous surface for lasting durability.
