Kinto Ripple Mug 250ml

Kinto Ripple Mug 250ml

The Kinto Ripple Mug takes its name from the gentle undulation of its form — a surface that evokes small waves in still water, or the subtle movement left behind by a craftsman's hands on the potter's wheel. The shape is soft and organic, the glaze transparent and expressive, and the result is a mug that feels like it has a quiet story to tell.

At 250ml, the Ripple Mug is ideal for espresso-based drinks: flat whites, cortados, piccolo lattes, or a carefully pulled double. The rim is smooth against the mouth, the handle sits comfortably in the hand, and the glaze catches light differently depending on the angle. Available in Beige, White, Pink, and Grey.

Why We Love It

The Ripple is one of those mugs you'll find yourself reaching for every morning. The 250ml volume is perfectly considered — enough for a proper flat white, not so large that the coffee cools before you finish it. The glaze has a beautiful translucency that shows off the stoneware beneath, and each piece has slightly different character. It also looks outstanding on a coffee bar or kitchen shelf.

About the Ripple Collection

The Ripple series is one of Kinto's most expressive ranges — a collection that sits at the intersection of functional ceramics and artisan craft. The forms are inspired by pieces thrown on the potter's wheel, translated into production ceramics with the textures and spontaneity of handmade work preserved. Each colourway interacts differently with the glaze, giving the range real depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drinks suit the 250ml Ripple Mug?
It's ideal for flat whites, cortados, lattes, and americanos. It's also a lovely size for filter coffee if you prefer a shorter serve, or for matcha if you're branching out.

Is there a larger Ripple Mug?
Kinto produces the Ripple in multiple sizes. The 250ml is our most popular — it suits espresso-based drinks perfectly. Contact us if you're looking for a different size.

Does the glaze vary between pieces?
Yes — the transparent glaze reacts with each piece of stoneware individually, so there's natural variation in depth and tone. This is characteristic of the Ripple series and considered part of the design.

Which colour is most popular?
Beige and Grey are our top sellers — both are neutral enough to work in almost any setting. Pink is a favourite for those who want something warmer and more distinctive.

Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. We recommend hand washing to maintain the glaze at its finest, but it's fully dishwasher safe.
