Le Creuset’s range of cast-iron cookware and stoneware utensils have been elevating kitchens for almost 100 years, with simple but elegant designs and charming colour palettes. It is traditionally perceived as being on the higher end of the cost scale, so if you’ve not considered it due to that, then you need to look at this Amazon offer.
Because whether you’re a long-time admirer who’s yet to take the plunge, or a Le Creuset collector, or maybe you’re just in the market for a lovely new coffee receptacle, you can currently pick up a set of Le Creuset’s iconic stoneware mugs from Amazon for £52.99, working out at £8.83 per mug. Usually retailing individually for upwards of £17, shoppers are snapping these up like hotcakes.
The set, presented in a gift box, contains six 350 ml stoneware coffee mugs in a rainbow of colours. Each set contains a mug in: Cherry, Volcanic, Soleil, Palm, Teal and Ultra Violet, to form an aesthetically-pleasing display on a kitchen shelf or counter. The best part? you can also pick up matching rainbow-coloured sets of mini ramekins, cereal bowls, tea plates and egg cups.
According to Le Creuset, these iconic mugs are chip-resistant and easy to hand wash thanks to their enamel coating, have fantastic heat retention to keep your coffee warmer for longer, and they each come with a 10-year guarantee. They can also withstand high temperatures, as well as being microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe.

They also come with a care guide to help ensure you keep your beautiful new mugs in pristine condition. Not only are they Amazon’s number one coffee cup product, but these Le Creuset mugs have an average user score of 4.7/5 from over 6,500 reviews. “You get what you pay for with Le Creuset. High quality, even if a little more expensive than other options,” said one five-star review. While another said: “Unfussy but beautiful design and ceramic quality. Love using it. Worth the investment.”
Elsewhere on Amazon, you can currently pick up individual Le Creuset stoneware mugs for £10.99, down from £17. There are fourteen colours to choose from, all with a gorgeous light gradient and a shimmering glaze, each available in 100ml, 200ml, 350ml, and 400ml sizes.
Each colour and size has its own price, although there are savings available on each. The only impediment to your choice is stock, with these mugs flying off the digital shelf whilst discounted.
Many praise the subtle design choices, too: “Really pleased with this, feels solid and the dimensions of the rim and handle are just right.” Some have reported a few issues, however, particularly with delivery. “I ordered two mugs, both arrived chipped…I really hoped I’d be lucky enough to get at least one unchipped mug, but it was not to be,” said one three-star review.
Others have noted that the handles can come up small for some coffee lovers: “I gave it as a gift and the receiver said the handle is quite small. I checked and compared to most mugs, it is. Probably a design thing. But annoying if you like to hold it by the handle rather than by the cup part.” The good news is that the enamel-coated stoneware shouldn’t get too hot on the outside.
If you’re looking for a different style, or perhaps want to support a British manufacturer, Denby’s excellent mug range currently starts at £12 each. Alternatively, Emma Bridgewater’s range starts at £7.50, and they’ve just brought in their Christmas range.
