Be Kind to Yourself

Mugs to Hug

“A good mug is a true all-rounder,” says the Manager of Product & Design at Heinen Delfts Blauw. “Whether you use it for a hot chocolate topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream or to quickly enjoy a comforting bowl of soup, it should always feel good in your hand and stand sturdy on the table. Thanks to the porcelain, the mug conducts heat well, allowing you to warm your hands on it. A real mug to cuddle with.”

This idea inspired the mugs from the Blauw Baroque collection. Simply a nice, sturdy mug that feels comfortable to hold and can be mixed and matched to your heart’s content. The perfect mug for anyone who uses their coffee or tea moment as a little act of self-care.

Grab a Quick Coffee

Mugs for Busy Mornings

If you don’t have time for all the fuss and simply want to grab a strong cup of coffee or tea in the morning, then straightforward mugs are the way to go. Just a good mug with a sturdy handle.

“Our practical mugs with handles are a very different branch of our mug family. Mornings are hectic for many people. Bags need packing, lunches need preparing, and somewhere in between there’s a moment for breakfast. A sturdy mug with a solid handle is essential, because it has to move in every direction without slipping from your fingers. The handle should therefore have a shape that comfortably fits your fingers. A little extra space is also helpful, so the contents don’t spill over too easily.”

The Art of Coffee

Mugs for Your Inner Barista

Making a truly great cup of coffee has been elevated to a genuine art form. The home barista knows exactly which coffee beans create the best flavor, how finely the beans should be ground, and what temperature produces the perfect coffee. For these passionate coffee artists, we naturally have the ideal coffee mugs that serve as the canvas for your perfect creation.

“First of all, it’s important that the mug is made of porcelain, because it retains heat better. The rim of the mug is also very important. It shouldn’t be too wide, otherwise the coffee cools down too quickly. Since the rim is the first thing your lips touch, you want that to be a pleasant experience right away. The rim should therefore have exactly the right thickness and a rounded shape for comfortable drinking. You also want enough room in the mug to go all out with your latte art or add a generous swirl of whipped cream.”

In short, as a semi-professional barista, you know everything about making the perfect coffee — and we know exactly how to serve it in style.

A Dutch Coffee Moment

Mugs Made for Sharing

The Netherlands has its own unique coffee and tea culture. While the morning coffee to wake up is often enjoyed quickly, another special cultural moment has developed later in the morning: coffee time. People gather together with a good cup of coffee or tea, put biscuits on the table, and enjoy lively conversations. In this case, the coffee and tea are merely supporting characters — the real focus is personal connection.

To fully enjoy each other’s company, we turn to the wise words of Janny van der Heijden, who designed the Sharing Moments collection for Heinen Delfts Blauw: “A good mug should not only look beautiful, it should also be functional. That way, the mug doesn’t distract from good company, but instead adds to the cozy atmosphere.” We couldn’t agree more.
