Cute Cat Mug Set of 4 | 225 ml

This cat mug set is the simple pleasure kind: 4 cups, 225 ml each, porcelain, and a shape that makes an everyday cup of tea feel like it was thought about. Cat mug in the singular is what you reach for in the morning; the set is what you put on the table when someone comes over.

What you get in this cat mug set

4 porcelain cups, 225 ml each, matching in size. The porcelain is glazed inside and out, so the surface stays smooth and does not stain the way unglazed clay can. The handle is sized for a whole hand rather than two fingers, which sounds like a small thing until you have held a full cup by a thin loop.

Each cat mug holds 225 ml to the brim, which in practice is enough for a flat white, a tea bag and room to stir. That is a cup you finish while it is still hot, rather than one that goes cold in your hand.

Why this size works

225 ml is the everyday cup rather than the giant mug: it holds a proper drink without turning into a bowl. Small cups photograph well and then disappoint daily; oversized mugs look generous and then go cold halfway down. 225 ml sits in the comfortable middle.

Because all 4 cups in this cat mug set are the same 225 ml, you do not get the usual set problem where two cups are espresso size and two are for tea. They stack tidily in a cupboard and they all hold the same amount.

Care and dishwasher

Dishwasher safe, on a normal cycle. Porcelain is fired hot enough that a domestic dishwasher will not fade the glaze or the pattern, and the cat mug keeps its finish wash after wash. If you want to be careful with any printed detail, wash it by hand in warm soapy water – but it is not required.

Do not move a hot mug straight into cold water. Thermal shock is the one thing that cracks porcelain, and it is avoidable: let it cool on the bench first.

Gifting a cat mug

A set of 4 is the safer gift than a single mug: it suits a couple, a share house, or an office kitchen, and nobody has to pretend to like a pattern chosen for one person. It arrives as a set, so it reads as a present rather than an add-on to an order.

Shipping

Sent with Auspost from Australia, boxed and padded. Ceramic and porcelain travel well when packed properly, and every mug order is packed as a set so nothing knocks against anything else. If a cat mug arrives damaged, send us a photo and we will replace it.

Using the set day to day

Four cups is the household number: one in the cupboard, one in the sink, one on the desk and one for whoever turns up. The cat mug is porcelain, so it takes heat quickly – warm it with a splash of hot water while the kettle boils and the drink stays hot noticeably longer.

Before you buy a cat mug set

Two practical notes. First, porcelain chips at the rim if it is stacked wet against another cup, so let them dry separately. Second, the pattern is fired under the glaze, so it does not wash off – if you have bought printed mugs before and watched the design fade, this is a different process. Four cups also means you can keep one at work without breaking up the set at home.
