I received these mugs as part of a set for our wedding five years ago.I still have all of them intact, with almost daily use.These cups hold quite a bit of liquid, and I found that I needed to re-estimate how much coffee to make if several people were partaking, to be sure they all got a full cup.They are great for hot chocolate, but again, be sure to measure in order to get the proper liquid/cocoa mix ratio.The large capacity means even more chocolaty goodness!I sometimes use the mugs instead of bowls if I want to portion-control a serving of ice cream, or even some cereal.
The stoneware holds in heat very well, and I have no problem with my drink getting cold before I'm done with it.The same goes for cold items; ice cream stays cold and doesn't melt too much.The mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe.Microwaving can produce a lot of heat, but luckily it doesn't transfer into the handle too much.Just be careful about touching the rest of the mug.
If you are a hot tea person, you may have a little trouble with these mugs.I generally forget when I put the tea in, so I have to judge by the color whether or not it has steeped long enough.It's black inside.I had a few cups of weak tea before I just started setting a timer.
Overall, I think these mugs are very nice.They are heavy without being too heavy, have a good capacity, and insulate hot and cold items very well.They have lasted five years, and will continue to be a part of our kitchen for many more.
