Could someone recommend an everyday dinnerware set that includes large mugs that keeps coffee hot?
thanks😊

@jobiz. It might be easier to buy dinnerware with cups and buy your mugs separately. Most sets don't include mugs, especially large ones. I've done this twice and ditched the cups.

I've never found a mug or cup to keep one's coffe hot. I pre heat my cup with water in it in the microwave and pour my hot coffee in it.

Good luck finding dinnerware with matching large mugs that will keep coffee warm.

@jobiz

I use this Bubba insulated travel mug. Doesn't look great on a table with nice dinnerware, though. HA! I'm the only one who uses it.

I doubt you'll be interested, but it's one of the best insulated I found.

They come in several sizes. The largest is 52 oz. This one is 34. It keeps my coffee hot for 3-4 hours, warm up to 5-6 hours.

@jobiz. I have large, hand-thrown stoneware mugs from a wonderful pottery shop in Old Town, Albuquerque. They have big handles so are easy to hold. I think they hold the heat better than other ceramics.

Most communities in areas that see tourists have such shops.

We love 18oz Pendleton cups but they are no longer available from Amazon. Just this week I ordered several from Ebay ( around $20 each with shipping).

Maybe Fiestaware? I know they offer mugs. I do not own any so am not sure about keeping coffee warm.

I have a set of Pfaltzgraff that had mugs in the place settings, but my pattern is discontinued.

I agree with the others here, buy a set you love and some insulated mugs separately.

Fiesta place settings have mugs. We use them all the time.They are thick and keep drinks hot.

You can also buy their pieces separately and they offer a Java mug that has a larger, easier to use handle. I prefer the Java mugs since I have arthritis in my hands.

@jobiz Fiesta has a Bistro Latte Mug that holds 18 oz. and has a large handle. If you purchase your dinnerware in sets, they will include a smaller mug. You could purchase 4 or so of the Bistro to meet your needs.

Just get Yeti mugs--the new stackable ones are great. Keep things hot, dishwasher safe, stack, come in white and lots of colors.

Don't think large mug, heat retention and dinnerware sets work in the same sentence.

For me, I had to define large in terms of oz. I have not had any "glass" mug really retain heat, but they are nice to microwave.

Will admit to a latte problem and currently have 20 oz from a local kitchen store. Just downed my second cup. Love me some coffe in the AM.

I've had good luck with Lennox porcelin sets. It's sturdy and looks nice and keeps your beverage hot or cold. They have frequent sales so it works with the budget.

@ECBG

I like your pattern too! I kind of went crazy with the additional pieces too. I have a little lamp, many canisters and bowls, etc. I have teapots and different special coffee mugs, chili bowls, etc.

I bought some from eBay, Macy's, and many with the old Betty Crocker points. Remember those?
