Description
This vintage style coffee mug wears the Macchinetta design, an old coffee shop label printed in cream on a deep navy band. Across the front it reads Fresh Grind, then Macchinetta in a looping script, then Coffee and Hand Roasted, with a small coffee bean and a tiny cup of coffee between the words. A scalloped border, like the edge of a postage stamp, runs along the top and bottom of the band, and the rim, handle and inside of the mug are a soft cream. The label is printed on both sides, so it shows whichever hand you hold it in. It is ceramic, stands 8.5cm tall, is 8.9cm wide and 13cm long, and holds approximately 350ml.
We think it belongs on the kitchen worktop or the breakfast table, ready for the first coffee of the morning. At approximately 350ml it holds a generous cafetière brew, a milky latte or a large tea, so one fill sees you through the post or the first emails of the day. The compact, straight-sided shape sits neatly on a desk at home or in the office, and the navy and cream colouring suits a retro, farmhouse or simple modern kitchen alike. The handle is a generous open loop, easy to hold when the mug is full.
Made of ceramic, it has a reassuring weight in the hand, and it is dishwasher safe, so it can go in with the rest of the breakfast things. Between washes, a rinse in warm soapy water and a wipe with a soft cloth keep the cream rim and inside looking fresh, and we would keep scouring pads away from the printed label to look after the design. It makes an easy, cheerful present to wrap, and it is just as welcome kept back for your own morning cup, ready for slow weekend breakfasts.
