Ratings summary

2.4 out of 5

Different from old versionUnfortunately as per other reviews, the mugs are indeed worse (subjectively) than they used to be. I had three of the Home mugs from 2 years ago and wanted to round it out to four because they're the perfect mug, but the new version is thicker, heavier and looks like a different colour (mostly because it's completely opaque.) Follow the tip below to weigh your mug if you're looking to match a previous purchase! New one comes in at 384g, old one at 272g.

New version is still an ok mug by itself, though there are better options, and it doesn't feel like fine china :(

Good proper mug sizeIt’s just the right size mug for me & a decent three finger handle. My only disappointment was finding, a few days later after one use, a hairline crack on the inside that doesn’t go all the way through, hence less one star.
I didn’t recall seeing it when it arrived so must have been a fault exposed through use.
That aside it won’t stop me from ordering more (to build up a set/replace any that break) as they have a nice hybrid cup/mug shape looking unassumingly stylish (to me) and feel solid and hold the right amount of tea/coffee/hot chocolate/soup!
Kind of feel it could be a little bit cheaper!

Not the same as they used to beThese remain a great size, but having just bought 4 in an online shop to supplement the last one I have left from a few years back, these are much thicker china and not the same quality product at all. As I like much thinner bone china mugs, I shall sadly be giving these away and sourcing replacements elsewhere.

Awful replacement for porcelainPorcelain version is fab. Replacement awful and cheap. Certainly not fine China - misrepresentation in the description. Price was not reduced for lower standard. Poor decision Sainsburys.

Awful replacement productI bought this mug after searching for months for the old version. I finally, in a weak moment bought the current one - it is awful not fine porcelain, thick unpleasant walls & very heavy - especially if you have arthritic fingers! It’s 117g heavier It’s on its way to the charity shop. I’ve given it a 1star rating - only because I can’t put a zero!!

Now stoneware, NOT chinaI may have been unlucky, but I've just had one of these delivered, and it is definitely NOT real fine china, but normal stoneware. Very disappointing as I got a china one last year and love it. This is exactly the same shape, size and design, but noticeably thicker and a slightly duller white. Hopefully it's a blip?

Love the previous version, the new one is heavyI had 4 of the large white mugs and loved them. Sadly, I broke one recently and wanted to replace it. I picked up a new one today and though it looks almost identical, it is much heavier! It is thicker and has a slightly fatter handle but the empty weight is what I noticed most. The original mug weighed 270g and the new one weighs 387g. It is still a good mug but just not as fine as the older version.
