The terracotta breakfast mug is the one for a proper breakfast. Big and generous, with thick walls that hold the heat.
 
Fill it with hot milk, caffellatte or barley coffee. Terracotta keeps the temperature longer than any other ceramic: the milk doesn't cool straight away, and the coffee stays hot while you eat. It's not a detail: it's what changes breakfast.
 
This one is handmade by Maurizio in Altomonte, on a kick wheel. The shape is simple and generous. The small irregularities of the rim and the variations in the glaze are the marks of an object made without hurry and without moulds.
 
Use it every morning. For a slow breakfast, the kind without a countdown.
 
A mug that makes you want to stay seated a little longer.
