Best Coffee Cups For All Occasions

We couldn't write about coffee cups and not feature a product from Denby. This iconic English brand has unique glazing that's well-known for producing beautiful and highly durable stoneware products. This set of two elevates drinking a morning coffee to a luxurious experience. Matching homeware is also available in the Azure Haze range.

Customer review: "I decided to try Denby cups and I wasn’t disappointed. They are a great price and look good. We very much like the colour and they're not likely to stain due to the glaze (as have been the case with other makes). Also, they also have the added bonus of not being to heavy."

Here at A Modern Kitchen, we just love double-walled mugs. If you haven't yet been converted to the benefits, then let us tell you all about the original (and the best) from the Danish brand Bodum. A double-walled cup insulates your drink, and whether it's hot or cold, you can wrap your hands around it and it will feel room temperature. This set of six glasses works out to be a good value for quality glassware.

Customer review: "These really keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Don't let the lack of handles put you off. Due to the design, you can pick these up as soon as you make your hot drinks without issues."

These vibrant espresso cups from Le Creuset will brighten everyone's day. Le Creuset stoneware is synonymous with being aesthetically beautiful and reliably durable. Invest in the best and bring a smile to coffee mornings. Matching rainbow ramekins, tea plates and egg cups are also available from this iconic brand.

Customer review: "These are beautiful espresso cups. They hold a little over a double, and keep the contents warmer then other cups I've tried in this size."

An elegant coffee cup and matching saucer, that strikes us as being the perfect cup for Fika. The tactile and textured stoneware has comforting Scandi vibes. We can imagine curling up with a good book, a cinnamon bun and this gorgeous cup and saucer. For a little extra, a lovely little asymmetric spoon accompanies this set.

Customer review: "This cup and saucer set is beautiful. I think it looks much more expensive than it was and is really stylish."

The shape of these stoneware cups makes them ideal for cappuccinos and flat whites. The wide circular shape is the perfect canvas for swirly coffee art or a generous sprinkling of grated chocolate. The unique glaze gives a variegated colouring that makes each cup slightly different. Imagine savouring a delicious latte and pepparkaka - the paired-down minimalist, handmade effect oozes Scandi vibes at a very affordable price. This cup is part of a matching stoneware range.

Customer review: "Love these mugs. They are microwave and dishwasher proof, which is a must in this day and age. They are all slightly different in some way, but that's kind of unique, so they aren't all the same. Makes them look very expensive."

Recreate your favourite high street branded coffee at home with this set of two tall latte glasses. The double wall of glass keeps your coffee hot while the outside stays relatively cool to the touch. These slender glasses have a wide base and they taper outwards, so there's plenty of room for squirty cream on top.

Customer review: "Tassimo make quite small cups of coffee approximately 200ml, these cups are the perfect size for the machine."

Nothing brings a smile to a face more than wrapping one's hands around a big warm mug and sipping the first coffee of the day. This gorgeous set of ceramic mugs are an inviting shape to hold. And, as the mugs are different colours, they make a great option for a shared household. Bursting with contemporary style and practical too, as they are dishwasher and microwave safe.

Customer review: "Really gorgeous mugs with a lovely weight to them."

Treat yourself or a loved one to a stylish glass mug with an initial and name. Choose from a wide range of metallic colours for extra personalisation. At a super affordable price, this initial mug makes a super gift idea for anyone who loves coffee. It's also a practical idea to stop others from stealing your mug.

Customer review: "This is my second time ordering personalised mugs. they are beautiful and make sure good presents."

As with wine-tasting, a tulip-shaped drinking vessel is the best for enhancing the aroma and taste of coffee. The surface area of the cup activates the flavour notes and diffuses them. So when you inhale the aroma, you get a waft of complex scents that any coffee lover will love to distinguish. This set of six Royal Genware Tulip Cups offers good value if you are looking to purchase a set of traditional drinkware.

This gadget will keep your cuppa warm for up to one and a half hours on a single charge with the mug itself or all day when you use the coaster. The Ember mug has a long-lasting battery, so you can keep your drink warm for longer and control it with an app, allowing you to choose the temperature you'd like your drink to be.

Customer review: "In my non-heated office now the temperature is dropping it’s the best thing ever. When caught on the phone for a length of time I know my drink or soup is going to be just the way I like it. It’s deceptively cool to the touch, easy to clean and gives you a surprise when near the last few gulps when it’s still piping hot at the end."

This hot plate coffee warmer is great for different-sized mugs. With three temperature settings to choose from, you can get your perfect hot drink with this mug warmer. The glass panel top is waterproof, fireproof and a decent size, making it suitable for certain cups, mugs, carafes and bowls. You could even fit a small teapot on it.

Customer review: "Very simple to use, just place the teapot (or mug) over it and it heats up (it has a pressure switch underneath). It has three touch buttons for three heat settings - shame it does not also have an on-off button. The only way to switch it off is to remove the cup or teapot from it, but if like me your desk space is limited, then it is inconvenient."

Keep your coffee at the right temperature for longer with this mug, available in a great range of colours and prints. This tumbler is rust-resistant, shatterproof and non-toxic, and the triple insulation will keep your hot drinks hot for up to three hours and cold for up to nine hours. With a stunning range of designs, this insulated tumbler would make a wonderful gift for anybody.

Customer review: "They have a rubber seal lid which has a sliding tab on the top which you can slide open to reveal the small hole to drink your drink from. Alternatively you can take the lid off to let it cool for a bit and then drink it direct from the cup. And even if you forget about it with the lid off, it still keeps your drink hot for so much longer which is perfect."

The Bodum Travel Mug is an Amazon favourite, thanks to its slip-proof rubber collar and lid, which come in different colours, and features a double-wall for heat insulation.

Customer review: "I've been charged for a 'medium' size drink (i.e. one around 450ml) because the mug looks a lot larger than its true capacity. If it was plastic, like the Starbucks reusables, then it's probably closer. But the raised bottom in this mug - while helping for the general heat retention - subtracts from the volume."
