Good coffee is the official beverage at the Lost Art Press workshop. And for years, we’ve wanted to offer a high-quality U.S.-made coffee mug that wasn’t the typical give-away and throw-away thing that corporations hand out.
After lots of searching, we finally found a stoneware mug that is handmade in Minnesota by a small company. These 12-ounce mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Each mug has a two-toned glaze – blue and white – and is stamped on the underside with the potter’s maker’s mark.
The mugs are approximately 4-1/4” tall. They are 3-3/8” diameter at the base and 3” diameter at the rim. As these mugs are handmade, these dimensions are approximate, but close. The price is $25, which is a good value for work of this quality. You can order one in our store via this link. The mugs are in stock and ship immediately.
The mugs are emblazoned with a detail from the Lost Art Press logo that features our dividers and the motto: “Traditional Hand-Tool Skills.”
Even if you don’t drink coffee, we think you’ll find a use for this mug – tea, hot chocolate, vodka (we don’t judge) or pencils.

P.S. Hate coffee? We’re working on an LAP beer stein for the holidays.
And in the meantime, I’ve been able to get on with the dithering.
I didn’t buy one. I bought two.
Cheers,

Will the beer Stein be a stone mug too?
Yup.
Also if you don’t drink coffee or other hot beverages, you can replace the obligatory “I love grandpa” mug that is by your grinder for quenching.
That is a gorgeous mug. But I like a lot of coffee, so maybe I’ll wait for the stein and use that as my coffee mug. 😉
While I’m sipping’ I hear it’s shippin’…. and as the caffeine courses through my veins and jumps the synaptic connection I ordered not one ….. but two….. because I love blue

I love Good coffee, teas of all kinds, homemade hot chocolate spiked with rum, and vodka – but not by the mugful – so a mug works for me. I have no appreciation of beer, never did, no matter how hard my college friends worked on me, so a stein will have to be a gift. A LAP mug is a nice gift, too.
Beautiful coffee mugs! I will wait until I do a pilgrimage to Willard St. to buy a couple.
Well, I’m glad I stopped dithering and got buying, ’cause this first batch sure sold out PDQ …
Cheers,
Mattias
Please tell me there will be a second batch of coffee mugs. We just got home from 4 days hiking in the Smokies, and as timing is everything, I missed out on these awesome looking coffee mugs.
Yup. We are already placing a much larger second order. These will be a regularly stocked item.
Excellent. And thanks for the rapid answer.
Can you suggest some good coffee brands as well as a good way to prep it. I have spent the last three months purging myself of processed foods. Now just plain items taste good. I easily can drink coffee black. Want to now upgrade from instant. Thanks.
