Kinto CERAMIC LAB Small Mug 300ml

Kinto CERAMIC LAB Small Mug 300ml

The Kinto CERAMIC LAB Small Mug is a beautifully understated vessel born from Japan's rich ceramic tradition. Crafted with a matte glaze and clean silhouette, it brings a quiet sense of ritual to your morning coffee routine — whether you're pulling an espresso, brewing a flat white, or enjoying a slow pour-over.

Each mug is made from high-quality stoneware and finished in a soft, touchable matte glaze that feels as good in the hand as it looks on the shelf. Available in three serene colourways — Beige, Black, and Pink — the CERAMIC LAB series balances Japanese minimalism with everyday functionality.

Why We Love It

At The Coffee Factory, we're particular about the vessels we use. The CERAMIC LAB mug hits the sweet spot between form and function: it's hefty enough to feel substantial, the handle is comfortable for extended morning sessions, and the 300ml capacity is ideal for a standard flat white or americano. The matte surface develops a beautiful character over time with regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the CERAMIC LAB Small Mug?
The small mug holds 300ml — ideal for flat whites, cortados, americanos, or a standard drip coffee serving.

Is the mug dishwasher safe?
Yes. The CERAMIC LAB mug is dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand washing to maintain the matte glaze at its best for longer.

Is it microwave safe?
Yes, it is microwave safe.

What's the difference between the CERAMIC LAB Small Mug and the larger version?
Kinto also offers a larger CERAMIC LAB mug (410ml) — suited to larger drinks like long blacks or filter coffee. The 300ml small mug is the go-to for espresso-based drinks.

Does the matte finish stain?
Matte ceramic can absorb liquids slightly over time, particularly from coffee and tea. Regular washing keeps it in great condition. Some people actually appreciate the natural patina that develops.

Which colour should I choose?
All three colourways — Beige, Black, and Pink — are soft and understated. Beige is the most neutral and versatile; Black is bold and classic; Pink is warm and quietly contemporary. All look beautiful on a café shelf or kitchen counter.

Can I buy this as a gift?
Absolutely. The CERAMIC LAB mug makes a thoughtful, considered gift for coffee lovers. It ships well and the simple, elegant aesthetic suits a wide range of tastes.
