What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Seattle Mug Set
What's included in this set?
The set includes 4 Seattle mugs, each with 0.4L (400ml) capacity. This provides a complete set for family use or entertaining, with all mugs matching in colour and design. Having four mugs ensures you always have clean ones available whilst others are in the dishwasher, making them practical for everyday use.
What size is 400ml?
400ml (0.4L) is a generous capacity—significantly larger than standard mugs which typically hold 250-350ml. It's perfect for large coffees without being oversized, accommodates generous servings of cappuccino or latte with room for foam, provides satisfying portions of hot chocolate or tea, and works well for soup. The size reduces the need for frequent refills during leisurely breakfasts or work-from-home coffee breaks.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes, all four mugs are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. You can also hand wash in warm soapy water if preferred. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles, ensuring the mugs look pristine for years. This dishwasher safety makes them practical for everyday use without worrying about special care requirements.
Can I use these in the microwave?
Yes, the mugs are microwave safe for convenient reheating of beverages. The stoneware construction heats evenly throughout. Use caution when removing as the mug may become hot—always use the handle or a cloth. The even temperature distribution means your reheated coffee or tea tastes better than in ordinary mugs.
Are the handles comfortable?
Yes, each mug features an ergonomic handle designed for comfortable grip. The handle size and shape accommodate different hand sizes whilst providing secure control when carrying hot beverages. The handle remains cooler than the mug body when filled with hot drinks, ensuring safe, comfortable handling. The design balances aesthetics with practical functionality for everyday use.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging from each mug. Wash all four mugs in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the stoneware for use.
Daily use: Fill mugs with your favourite hot or cold beverages. The 400ml capacity provides generous servings without being unwieldy. The specialist clay construction maintains beverage temperature—keeping hot drinks warm and cold drinks chilled for longer periods than ordinary mugs. The ergonomic handle remains comfortable even when the mug is full.
Microwave use: Suitable for reheating beverages in the microwave. Use appropriate microwave times and power levels. The stoneware heats evenly throughout. Always use the handle or a cloth when removing from the microwave, as the mug may become hot. The even temperature distribution means reheated beverages taste better than in standard mugs.
Oven use (if needed): Whilst primarily designed for beverages, the mugs are oven safe to 260°C if you wish to use them creatively—for individual desserts like molten chocolate cakes or baked custards. Use oven gloves when handling. The temperature resistance provides versatility beyond standard mug use.
For soup: The 400ml capacity and microwave-safe construction make these mugs excellent for soup. Heat shop-bought or homemade soup in the microwave, or pour freshly-made hot soup directly into the mug. The handle remains cool whilst the soup stays hot. The generous capacity provides satisfying portions for lunches or light dinners.
Cleaning: Allow mugs to cool before cleaning if they've held very hot beverages. Hand wash in warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle. For stubborn coffee or tea stains, fill with warm soapy water and soak for 15-20 minutes before washing. The scratch-resistant glaze resists staining better than ordinary ceramic, maintaining pristine appearance.
Removing beverage stains: Whilst the glaze resists staining, very dark beverages like espresso or strong tea may cause slight discolouration over extended use. For stubborn stains, use a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, apply gently, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive scourers that might dull the glaze over time.
Dishwasher placement: Place mugs securely in the dishwasher, ensuring they won't knock against other items during the wash cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze withstands dishwasher detergents and high temperatures without fading or dulling. Regular dishwasher cleaning maintains optimal hygiene and appearance.
Storage: Stack mugs carefully in cupboards if space is limited, though placing a paper towel or cloth between stacked mugs prevents any potential marking. Many users display Le Creuset mugs on open shelving or mug trees as decorative elements when not in use, showcasing the vibrant colours.
Maintaining the set: With four mugs, you can rotate usage to extend each mug's life. Having spares means you're never without a clean mug whilst others are in the dishwasher. If one mug becomes damaged, the remaining three still provide service whilst you arrange a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not satisfied with the mugs?
Return them to us, even if you've used them for drinking. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items—if they don't meet your expectations or suit your needs, we'll refund you in full. This applies whether you've used them once or daily for weeks.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage any mug in the set (for example, chipping or breaking), we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This supplements Le Creuset's 10-year guarantee, which covers manufacturing defects.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I buy individual replacement mugs?
Le Creuset mugs are typically sold in sets rather than individually. If you need to replace a broken mug from your set, contact us—we may be able to help source individual pieces in your colour or advise on the best solution. Our Half-Price Replacement guarantee provides an economical way to replace accidentally damaged pieces.
Will these resist staining from coffee or tea?
The scratch-resistant glaze resists staining from coffee, tea, and other beverages significantly better than ordinary ceramic mugs. Whilst very dark beverages like espresso or strong black tea may cause slight discolouration over extended daily use, regular cleaning maintains appearance. The glaze's non-porous surface prevents stain absorption, making these mugs look better for longer than standard alternatives.
Can I use these for soup?
Yes, the 400ml capacity makes these mugs excellent for soup, whether shop-bought or homemade. The generous size accommodates substantial portions, the handle remains cool whilst the soup stays hot, and they're microwave safe for convenient reheating. The stoneware construction maintains soup temperature longer than ordinary mugs, making them ideal for leisurely lunches or cosy evening meals.
How does 400ml compare to a standard mug?
400ml is significantly more generous than standard mugs, which typically hold 250-350ml. This extra capacity means fewer refills, more satisfying servings of coffee or tea, better value when making expensive coffee shop-style drinks at home, and suitability for both beverages and food like soup. The size balances generosity with practicality—large enough to be satisfying without being unwieldy.
Are these suitable for espresso or small servings?
The 400ml capacity is designed for larger servings—cappuccinos, lattes, americanos, filter coffee, or tea rather than espresso shots. For espresso or small coffee servings, the mug would appear mostly empty. Consider Le Creuset's espresso cups or smaller mugs if you primarily drink concentrated coffee. However, these mugs work beautifully for espresso-based drinks with milk like cappuccinos or flat whites.
Can I mix and match with other Le Creuset items?
Yes, Le Creuset's stoneware range is designed to coordinate across different pieces. You can match these mugs with Le Creuset plates, bowls, and serveware in the same colour for a cohesive look, or mix complementary colours for an eclectic aesthetic. The consistent quality and design language across the range ensures pieces work together harmoniously.
Do the mugs fit under standard coffee machines?
The mugs' dimensions typically allow them to fit under most standard coffee machines, though clearance varies by machine model. Measure the height clearance under your coffee machine's dispenser if concerned. The 400ml capacity makes them ideal for catching larger coffee drinks directly from automatic machines.
How do these compare to cheaper ceramic mugs?
Le Creuset stoneware offers exceptional durability, superior temperature retention, scratch and stain resistance far exceeding ordinary ceramic, the prestige and aesthetic of a premium brand, and a 10-year guarantee demonstrating quality confidence. Whilst premium-priced, the longevity typically makes them more economical over time than repeatedly replacing cheaper mugs. Many customers report using Le Creuset mugs daily for years without deterioration.
