- Is this mug really 18 ounces?
- Yes, it holds 18 fl oz, roughly half again a standard 12 oz mug. That is enough for a large coffee or a can of soup.
- Can it go in the dishwasher and microwave?
- Yes, Mikasa lists it as both dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Reheating a drink in it is fine.
- Does it come with a saucer?
- No. It is sold as a single mug with no saucer.
- Is it ceramic or metal?
- Mikasa lists the material as iron, so treat it as a metal-bodied mug rather than glazed stoneware. Do not use it in a conventional oven.
- Will it fit under a standard coffee maker spout?
- The wide square base and tall body can be tight under low dispensers. Measure your machine's clearance before relying on it for drip coffee.
- How does it compare with a round 12 oz mug?
- It holds more and looks bolder, but it is heavier and takes up more shelf and coaster space. Choose it for capacity and style, not for compact storage.
- Where is the Mikasa Swirl Square White cheapest?
- At Replacements Ltd., for $15.99, as of our latest check.
