About
American Mug & Stein Co. was born out of a desire to craft fine mugs within the USA and to revive America’s domestic pottery industry.
With the introduction of Chinese-manufactured mugs, the town of East Liverpool, Ohio’s thriving pottery industry collapsed. For years, the town struggled with high unemployment rates and many shuttered factories. That was until American Mug & Stein Co. opened its doors and created a local pottery factory right in East Liverpool.
American Mug & Stein Co. was born out of a desire to craft fine mugs within the USA and to revive America’s domestic pottery industry. Shortly after American Mug & Stein Co. entered the market, Starbucks Coffee Company CEO Howard Schultz contracted the company to provide top-quality mugs to sell in the coffee chain’s signature Pike Place store.
The company is best known for its flagship “Indivisible” ceramic mug. Their mugs are available in three different designs ranging between 11 and 14 ounces. Each model involves a slightly different handle shape and width. On the other hand, stein designs are available in a variety of different formats with six listed on the company’s website. The company’s stein lineup includes models ranging from 15 to 24 ounces in volume.
With American Mug & Stein Co., you can rest assured knowing that every mug and stein you ordered is made right at home in the USA. In fact, all of their sourcing and manufacturing is done in the American midwest, so you can feel good knowing that your purchase is supporting well-paying American jobs.

Custom mugs: Specializing in custom mugs and steins for organizations and businesses in the United States, two of the biggest perks of American Mug and Stein Co. is the flexibility and personalization.

Manufacturing Notes
There’s a lot to love about American Mug & Stein Co.’s lineup of ceramics. However, the fact that these durable, great-looking mugs are manufactured wholly in the United States makes our morning cup of coffee taste that much better.
East Liverpool, Ohio was once described as the state that ‘set America’s table’ thanks to the four dozen pottery factories that were there before its collapse. American Mug & Stein Co. has revitalized the industry and created a feel-good case study on the benefits and importance of domestic supply chains. The products they manufacture for Starbucks support their Create Jobs for USA Foud by donating money from the sale of the mugs. Although you might end up waiting a bit longer for your mugs to arrive at your door than you would with another retailer, the satisfaction of supporting an excellent American business more than makes up for the wait.
You can’t go wrong with American Mug & Stein Co.’s products. If they’re good enough to be sold in Starbucks’ original coffeehouse in Seattle, they’re probably good enough for your kitchen cupboard. After testing them out for weeks, there’s hardly a complaint we could offer about these mugs and ceramics.
