Le Creuset Stoneware Grand Mug 400ml
The Le Creuset Stoneware Grand Mug is the everyday mug for people who take their morning coffee or afternoon tea seriously. At 400ml it is a genuinely generous mug, comfortable for a full cup of coffee or a proper brew without feeling oversized. The sleek, sophisticated design adds the unmistakable Le Creuset colour character to the table, and the full range of Le Creuset signature colours means you can match it to your existing Le Creuset pieces or choose a colour that stands alone.
Made from Le Creuset's specialist stoneware clays and fired at the highest temperatures, the Grand Mug is strong, durable, and covered by Le Creuset's 10 year guarantee. The dense stoneware provides good thermal retention, keeping drinks warmer for longer, and the scratch-resistant glazed finish is easy to clean and won't absorb odours or flavours from different drinks.

What Customers Ask About the Grand Mug
A standard UK mug is typically 300ml. The Grand Mug at 400ml is larger than average, which suits people who prefer a generous cup without needing a refill. It is comfortably sized for a full cafetiere pour, a large flat white, or a full pot-brewed tea.
No. Le Creuset makes two sizes of stoneware mug. The standard Stoneware Mug is around 350ml. The Grand Mug is 400ml and slightly taller. Both are available in the full colour range; the Grand is the larger format for those who prefer a bigger cup.
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is microwave safe. The mug is suitable for reheating drinks in the microwave. Note that the stoneware itself retains heat, so the mug body may feel warm after microwaving even if the liquid is only moderately hot.
Le Creuset maintains colour consistency across their stoneware range, so the Grand Mug in any given colour should match other Le Creuset stoneware pieces in the same colour. Bear in mind that cast iron and stoneware pieces in nominally the same colour may appear slightly different due to the different finishing processes of the two materials.
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is dishwasher safe for full cycles. We recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze's appearance over the long term, but the mug is fully dishwasher safe if you prefer.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Everyday use: Suitable for all hot beverages including tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and soup. The stoneware retains heat well, so drinks will stay warm for longer than in a ceramic mug.
Microwave: Fully microwave safe. Note that the stoneware body retains heat, so handle with care after microwaving.
Dishwasher: Dishwasher safe for full cycles. Hand-washing with warm soapy water and a soft cloth is recommended to preserve the glaze's appearance over the long term.
Cleaning: Rinse promptly after use to prevent staining. For stubborn coffee or tea staining, soak in a bicarbonate of soda solution (1-2 tablespoons per litre of warm water) for 15 minutes before washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Storage: Ensure the mug is completely dry before storing. Do not stack heavy items on top.
Not for hob use: Do not place directly on a hob or other direct heat source.
