Kinto's Slow Coffee Style line is inspired by the passion of craftsmen, and mirrors our belief that taking pride in your craft is of the utmost importance - it deserves deliberate time and care. The glaze effect of these mugs is achieved with layers of two colors, and is called "yo-hen." This effect occurs when colors shift in unpredictable ways after firing, making each mug unique. The supple shape fits well in your hands and the wide arched handle is smoothly connected to the cup. For us at Old City Coffee, this mug evokes images of a cozy morning, while slowly enjoying our daily cup.
