Ceramic coffee and tea cups
Using ceramic cups for coffee and tea has been customary in homes and offices for many years, as they offer a durable and attractive solution.
They are environmentally friendly and sustainable. In a world where throwaway habits prevail, they are an option that helps break this dynamic when drinking coffee or tea (think of the machines for these beverages with plastic cup dispensers). Unlike disposable paper cups or plastic cups, ceramic cups can be reused over and over again, which reduces waste and helps protect the environment.
Why not have our mug and use the same one? Besides, drinking very hot beverages in some plastics is not the most advisable thing to do.
Another advantage is their durability and resistance when subjected to sudden changes in temperature. Unlike plastic or glass cups, ceramic cups are able to withstand high temperatures and are less likely to crack or break.
The vast majority, unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, are microwave and dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean and maintain.
There are large capacity formats and can hold larger portions of coffee or tea. The fact that they have a handle makes them easy to grip, reduces the risk of spills and prevents us from burning ourselves if the contents are too hot.
Many go in a set together with a teapot which gives a nice aesthetic uniformity to the whole.

How to clean them:
When it comes to keeping your ceramic mugs in perfect condition, it’s all about proper cleaning and maintenance. The vast majority are dishwasher safe, however some handcrafted pieces will still look as good as new if washed by hand with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface. If your mugs are very dirty, you can soak them in a solution of warm water and baking soda for a few minutes before washing.
Store the mugs carefully
Once the cups have been cleaned, it is important to store them safely to avoid damaging them. Avoid stacking the cups on top of each other, as they could chip or crack. Instead, store them separately in a cupboard or on a shelf where they are protected from knocks. If there are some you won’t be using for a while, consider storing them separately in individual boxes or wrap them in a soft cloth to prevent them from rubbing against each other.
Sudden changes in temperature
Although ceramic is a very resistant material. A very abrupt thermal shock can cause it to crack or even break. For example, pouring a boiling beverage suddenly over a cup that is cold enough, in some cases, can damage it.
