FAQs
Is the mug microwave safe?
While the ceramic is high-quality, we recommend checking the manufacturer's specific heat guidelines, though most handcrafted ceramics are safe for brief microwave use.
Are the dimensions accurate?
The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter. Slight variations may occur due to the handmade crafting process.
How do I ensure the paint doesn't fade?
Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical detergents. Regular dishwasher cycles are generally safe.
Can I request a mug that looks exactly like the photo?
No, because each piece is hand-painted and unique, yours will have its own individual characteristics.
Is the handle easy to hold?
Yes, the handle is designed to be ergonomic, though the grip style differs from standard cylindrical handles.
Troubleshooting
Visible variations in paint or shape
These are normal characteristics of the handcrafted process and do not indicate a defect.
Water spots after dishwasher cleaning
Ensure the mug is placed in a position where water can drain freely and use a rinse aid to improve drying results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this mug is made of ceramic, it is recommended to wash it thoroughly before its first use. While the mug is dishwasher safe, placing it in the top rack of your dishwasher can help prevent damage to the delicate hand-painted details over long periods. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads to ensure the painted design remains vibrant. Before purchasing, please verify the 9cm width and height to confirm it fits comfortably within your specific storage space or under your preferred coffee machine dispenser.
