16 Best Coffee Mugs To Start Your Day On The Right Note

This cup is essentially for your chai, but you can't tell that it isn't the perfect size for espresso, too! The ripple texture is inspired by Ganga, and it's solid pink with hints of 24k gold marigolds that add a little hint of oomph to the mug. Shaped like a kulhad, it pays tribute to the famous Varanasi Kulhad mugs. However, don't put this in the microwave or dishwasher as this one needs a little extra care and should be hand-washed only.

Material: Stoneware with 24 carat gold

Capacity: 350 ml

This transparent glass mug set is giving rich, elegant and old-money fancy. It comes in a pack of two, so you get two mugs with these sleek wooden sleeve grips, which is definitely not a bad deal for the price. If you're someone who likes to savour your drink throughout the day or have multiple refills, then this one would be the perfect choice.

Material: Glass

Capacity: 280 ml

This mug from Lagavi is clearly made for your morning coffee, but don’t be surprised if it becomes your go-to for cocoa, too! The elongated handle isn’t just a design quirk, it’s a cozy nook for your fingers, making every sip feel a little extra luxurious. Splattered with hints of gold on a creamy base, it's basically your brew’s version of getting dressed up. 

Is it only us, or does the marble effect also draw you towards it? We find that this pattern instantly elevates the look of anything it's placed on, whether it's kitchen countertops or a coffee mug, like this one by Ellementry. This one comes in a pack of two and features lids, allowing you to carry it around also.

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 400 ml (approximately)

If you're someone who loves all things minimal, then this Dhaara coffee mug is probably something you'll like.

If you want to take the cuteness up a notch, you can also consider getting this Blue Rabbit Mugs set that's equally adorable. 

Material: Porcelain

One of the cutest mugs on the list, this Kaafi and Cookie mug is easily our favourite. It's advertised as sturdy, lightweight, and the perfect travel companion.

Material: Enamelware

Capacity: 375 ml

We're all about getting behind trends, and so we just had to find this cup and saucer set that we've been seeing all over our Pinterest.  It's got a bubble design saucer and a matching teacup, available in beautiful pastel shades, the pink one being our top pick. We love Clay & Hearth especially for having the cutest drinkware always. On the plus side, it's also microwave & dishwasher-safe.

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 200 ml

This one from Artisan Lab has a beautiful nature print that isn’t too overwhelming and looks quite classy and rich.

Dreamy and in the clouds, this one also feels straight out of a Pinterest mood board. It comes in a range of colours, like this whimsical powder blue, pink, yellow, dark blue, and a moody sea green, too, because why should you be restricted to blues for your sky's colour? While you scroll through Dainty Little Shop's website, check out this pillow mug and saucer set, too!

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 250 ml

There's something deeply nostalgic about this mug from Smokey Cocktail with its double-walled structure filled with heart-shaped confetti that reminds us of those floating glitter mugs everyone had as kids in the early 2000s, where you would shake the mug and watch the glitter go crazy. The hearts make for a more tasteful take on the same, and we are sure this mug will fill your mornings with good juju.

Material: Glass

Capacity: 300 ml

For something that looks straight out of Pinterest dreams, we absolutely dig this cutesy bubble knot handle mug from The June Shop. This ceramic mug has that pearly glazed effect, so call it the glazed doughnut of mugs (iykyk). It holds 275 ml, making it ideal for large servings of coffee or your preferred drink. 

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 275 ml

What better way to remind yourself to have something with your coffee than a pretzel/bagel mug? We love Glimpse Homes for being a fashion decor brand, and this mug says it all about them. The mugs are minimal yet statement-making with a bagel and pretzel handle. It's handmade, microwave safe and should be hand-cleaned only

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 250 ml

The Instagram viral brand, Weaving Homes, just had to be on the list. While they've a lot of options when it comes to mugs, we loved this 'Happy' white mug as it serves as a major motivator when you need it. The quote 'I think I'll just be happy today' is simple yet underrated, and this mug reminds us all of just that. On the plus side, it's also microwave- and dishwasher-safe. If you're looking for something more quirky, we highly recommend checking out their Multi-Colour Everyday Cheer Mugs.

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 250 ml

If you're someone like us who needs coffee on the go and can only trust yourself to make a cup that's good enough, we highly suggest getting this mug. It's insulated to keep your coffee hot or cold for 3 hours and 5 hours (respectively). Equipped with a slip-proof lid, they are perfect for stepping out with coffee or even when you're indoors, especially if you like to take your time with your coffee. 

Material: Stainless Steel

Capacity: 400 ml

Fab India may be known for their clothing now, but it initially started out as a home furnishing brand and has remained loyal to that sentiment over the years. Our go-to spot for all things home, we found a couple of mugs that will make our caffeine intake more aesthetic, but our top pick is this Blue Neel Kamal mug set, as it's super versatile. You could put tea in it just as easily and without disturbing its aesthetic as you can put coffee. Additionally, if you're not a fan of florals and prefer a minimalist design, consider the Green Aavegh Ceramic Mug.

Material: Ceramic

Capacity: 150 ml

If you love florals or your house is super cottagecore coded, this white mug with a floral print by Vigneto will be ideal for you. The ethnic pattern makes it apt for the festive season, so even if you don't want it for yourself, it can be a great gift option. However, this one's not microwave or dishwasher-safe and can break easily, so be careful when handling it.

Material: China

Capacity: 300 ml
