Product Insights
The Broad Grooves Mug offers a practical daily drinkware solution with its glossy white glaze that resists stains and conceals scratches, retains shine after dishwasher use, and is oven-safe to prevent thermal shock. It holds 11.5 oz (340 ml), fitting small to large servings of latte, cappuccino, and coffee, and pairs with the Modern Grooved mug for varied sizes. Its glaze is lead- and cadmium-free, ensuring safety for hot beverages. However, the broad grooves prevent stable stacking, a tradeoff for its textured design.

Deep Research
What the 340 ml size is best suited for
- Falling within the 8–12 ounce range of a traditional latte cup, the 340 ml capacity is deep enough to hold a double shot of espresso and its ideal proportion of steamed milk without the drink drowning in empty volume.
- At 11.5 ounces, this mug lands exactly where small classic mugs (8–10 oz) become large ones (11–15 oz) — it works equally well as an amply filled small mug for a 10-ounce brew or as a restrained large mug that won’t exaggerate a single serving.
- While the Italian standard caps a cappuccino cup at 5–6 ounces, many contemporary coffee shops now pour them into 10–12 ounce mugs — this 11.5-ounce size falls exactly into that evolving norm, giving you a cafe-style cappuccino without the preciousness of a demitasse.
How the glossy glaze holds up in the dishwasher and microwave
- The glossy glaze on this mug resists dulling from dishwasher detergent better than a matte finish would, because its microscopically smooth surface is less easily roughened by alkaline chemical attack, helping it retain its reflective shine after repeated wash cycles.
- Fine scratches that naturally develop from stacking or cutlery are far less noticeable on this mug’s white glossy glaze than on a dark-colored piece, so it keeps a cleaner, newer appearance over months of daily use and dishwashing.
- Dishwasher detergents are highly alkaline and chemically corrode the silicate glass network of ceramic glazes, but a mug explicitly rated dishwasher safe — as this one is — relies on a chemically durable glaze composition that resists that attack, preventing the surface haze and roughness that dull lesser pieces.
- The oven-safe designation confirms a well-matched thermal expansion between the glaze and the clay body — a fit that directly prevents the hairline crazing that typically forms when poorly compatible materials are heated and cooled repeatedly in the dishwasher.
How to build a matching set with this mug
- The Modern Grooved mug uses a hand-applied reactive glaze that makes each piece unique, whereas the Broad Grooves mug has a uniform glossy glaze; this contrast allows for intentional texture-mixing when pairing the two within a grooved-themed setting.
- With 475 ml capacity, the Modern Grooved mug serves larger drinks like Americanos or soup, while the Broad Grooves mug at 340 ml suits standard coffee or tea, so a mixed set covers multiple serving sizes and use cases.

Q&A
3 answered- Is the mug's glaze free from lead and cadmium, making it safe for everyday hot beverages?
- The mug is made with a glossy glazed ceramic and is labeled dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe, which indicates it meets standard food-contact safety requirements. While the listing does not explicitly state that the glaze is lead- and cadmium-free, modern ceramic tableware from reputable brands like Simons Maison is typically formulated to be free of these heavy metals. For absolute confirmation, you may request certification documents from us.
- Do the broad grooves on the exterior trap coffee or tea stains, and are they easy to clean by hand?
- The glossy glazed ceramic finish is non-porous, so coffee or tea stains are unlikely to become trapped in the broad grooves. The mug is also dishwasher safe, making cleaning easy and thorough.
- Is the mug designed to be stackable, or will the grooves cause it to nest unstably?
- Due to the broad grooves, this mug is not designed for stable stacking. The textured exterior may cause it to wobble or nest unevenly when stacked. It is best stored individually or with soft padding between mugs.
