Coffee Mugs Buying Guide

With a wide range of brewing methods and more high-quality coffee beans on the market than ever before, coffee lovers need a variety of containers to sip their favourite caffeinated drinks. You can also benefit from an upgraded range of cups. Glass coffee cups are a great addition to your everyday life.

Dingmu's coffee mugs stand out for their simple and practical design, plus their double-walled construction keeps the coffee hot - a feature that coffee lovers consider essential in a glass mug.

For the serious coffee drinker, the borosilicate glass with its double-walled construction offers durability, resistance to thermal shock and heat retention. Glass mugs require gentle care and most manufacturers recommend hand washing.

What is a double wall coffee mug?

Double walled glass mugs have a clear appearance and are made of glass. What you may not expect is that they are much thicker than a regular glass mug.

The double glass wall (which almost always has air in the middle) solves this problem. Superb. Double-walled glasses look great, feel great and don't sweat or make your hands feel uncomfortable (while still keeping your coffee hot).

Key benefits of double wall glass coffee mugs

Double walled glass mugs offer the following advantages.

They are usually much lighter than their ceramic counterparts. All have a similar volume and structural mass: the ceramic ones are 370 grams, the (thick, single-walled) glass ones are 320 grams. The double wall glass one is 200 grams. That's just a little over half the weight.

The double wall glass is transparent. The double-walled mug is beautiful. Clear double wall glasses (on average) look better than their single-walled glass or ceramic counterparts.

They are usually comfortable without handles. This is related to the above points: due to its thermal properties, double-walled glass without handles is both possible and common.

Factors to consider when buying glass coffee mugs

Size

One of the biggest factors to consider is size. How much coffee do you really drink? If you measure it, you might be surprised. Many of these glasses have a capacity of 12 ounces or less, which equates to 1.5 cups or less. You would be surprised at how many coffee cups have a capacity of more than 16 ounces, as larger cups are popular. Before deciding which glass to invest in, find out how much coffee you consume (disposable).

Glasses

Double-walled borosilicate glass provides everything you want in a glass coffee mug. If the glass is not double-walled, it will dissipate heat more quickly and/or be hot to the touch. Other materials, such as soda lime glass, are more likely to break. Check the details before you buy.

Are glass coffee cups safe?

Yes, most glass coffee mugs are made of durable materials and are safe to use. You must be more careful with glass mugs that do not have a double-layer construction or are made from more fragile materials. However, most glasses on the market are made from heat resistant impact glass and can easily hold a hot cup of coffee.

Can glass coffee cups go in the microwave?

Reheating coffee in the microwave in a glass mug depends on the manufacturer's details, as you will find that recommendations for handling the same material vary from brand to brand.

What is the best way to clean a glass coffee mug?

The best way to clean a glass coffee mug depends on the type and construction of the glass. Please check the details of the glass coffee mug manufacturer before cleaning the glass.

Most tempered glass mugs can withstand high dishwasher temperatures and can be cleaned on the top rack. For borosilicate glass with double wall construction, many glass mug manufacturers recommend hand washing as water can seep between the walls during vigorous washing.
