Customers praise this silicone band for protecting fingers from hot beverages and improving grip on ceramic travel mugs. "Perfect for extra hot coffee," many noted. Most find it essential, flexible, and easy to clean. However, some cite concerns about inconsistent thickness, with earlier versions being too thin to insulate effectively. A few wish for wider or transparent options to showcase cup designs.
- Flexible, easy to clean and the perfect way to protect your fingers.
- Just adds a bit of extra grip and heat protection while walking with a coffee!
- I ordered the heat band and now the cup is PERFECT.

Look, you probably think you can go without one, but it definitely is worth getting one. Helps young ones and old ones grip the cup better.
Bought this as I found a beautiful pink 12oz travel mug in an op shop - I knew it was special as soon as I saw it! Fits the cup perfectly, and it’s good for my long blacks as the cup gets hot. Easy to purchase and I love that it’s from a local company. Thank you!
I recently ordered my first pottery for the planet cup ( in a mystery cup promotion) and grabbed a heat band as well.
I’m not only thrilled with my gorgeous cup, but the vibrant heat band is perfect for even the hottest of beverages!
I took it for a run at my favourite local vegan bakery with some steaming soy chai.
Hi Tahne! We're so happy to hear you're loving your cup. Enjoy your steaming chai and thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
Perfectly matches the colour scheme of my mug, and blocks enough heat that I can comfortably hold my mug while still feeling the warmth!
Thank you for your positive review of our Heat Band. Enjoy your comfortably warm beverage!
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad to hear it’s working well for you and holding tight
Great addition to a mug, sturdy and easy to take on or off. Just adds a bit of extra grip and heat protection while walking with a coffee!
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! So glad you're enjoying the extra grip and heat protection — perfect for coffee on the go ☕️
Thanks for your great review! We are pleased to hear that you like our heatbands
It has everything - perfect size, lidul Buddha belly shape to warm yr hands and the soft shade of periwinkle, work together to create my fav cup of all time! Love it! 💜
A steaming hot chocolate from this beautiful 16 ounce cup is one of my daily Winter pleasures. I like my hot chocolates HOT and the band adds comfort temperature-wise and protects the cup in my bag when I’m on the move.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and photos (what a gorgeous dog). We are so happy you are enjoying your hot chocolates from your keep cup :)
Heat bands are always useful. Sometimes with the larger cups, I wish they were a bit wider. Best thing to go with keep cups.
When you just need that hot cuppa, but its that little bit too hot to hold. This band fits the bill and makes it just right.
Can't beat the feel of a pottery mug in your hand.
Thank you for your feedback on the Heat Band, we're glad to hear it's helping you enjoy your hot cuppa without burning your hands. We agree, there's nothing quite like the feel of a pottery mug in your hand. Thank you for choosing our product.
Such a beautiful investment. My partner and I ordered the mystery box and it was a delight to be surprised by out glazes. The next size up is perfect for a standard Aus coffee.
We are glad to hear that you and your partner are enjoying the beautiful travel mugs. Our mystery box option is always a fun way to add some excitement to your purchase. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy your coffee with our product.
The useful band sits easily and makes it comfortable to keep that cup in hand !
Glad to hear the Heat Band is keeping your hands comfortable. Thanks for your kind support!
I purchased my 12oz travel cup while on holiday in Queenstown and immediately found that the cup takes on some heat. I ordered the heat band and now the cup is PERFECT. Even the stewardesses loved filling my cup to save wasting all of those coffee cups on the airlines and I got so many compliments!
So great the Heat Band has made all the difference to your experience with the 12oz travel cup. We appreciate your support and hope to continue providing products that make you and airline stewardesses smile. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that our heat bands were a great addition to your beautiful cups, happy sipping!
The heatbands are great with an extra hot beverage, keeping those fingers happy! Enjoy
When you boil your teapot on the stove, then your cup is too hot to handle... heat bands just save the day. :)
I cannot explain just how gorgeous these ceramic cups are! I hesitated to purchase when I realized what the shipping cost would be (I’m in the US) but I couldn’t stop thinking about them and am so glad I went for it. Makes my daily hydration feel luxurious.☺️
I always order my coffee very hot or extra hot as I hate lukewarm coffee. These bands are perfect to protect my hand from the heat. It must be the way they're designed with all the grooves. I really like them, and that they have matching colours for the lids as well.
The heat band works perfectly to ensure you can pick up the cup, even when containing hot or cold liquids. Definitely worth purchasing. Plus, the band looks nice on the ceramic mugs.
Thanks for reviewing the function of the heat band Tyler.
We appreciate it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy a lid separately or does it come with my cup or bowl?
Every Travel Cup, Iced Coffee Cup, and Travel Bowl comes with a silicone lid included. You do not need to buy one separately when you purchase a cup or bowl. Replacement lids are for situations where you want a spare, need to replace a lost or damaged lid, or want a lid in a different colour.
Which replacement lid size do I need?
Travel Cup Lids come in three sizes. Small fits the 4oz Piccolo Cup, Regular fits the 6oz, 8oz, and 12oz Travel Cups, and Large fits the 16oz Iced Coffee Cup.
Note that lids do not fit Seconds cups and the Large size does not carry Pottery For The Planet branding.
Travel Bowl Lids are separate and come in Small (fits the small Travel Bowl) and Large (fits the large Travel Bowl).
Which cups does the Heat Band fit?
Heat Bands fit the 6oz, 8oz, and 12oz Travel Cups and the 16oz Iced Coffee Cup. They do not fit the 4oz Piccolo Cup.
One size covers all compatible cups. If you drink long blacks, tea, or anything that heats the ceramic significantly, a heat band makes a noticeable difference to how comfortable the cup is to hold.
What colours are the lids and heat bands available in?
All accessories come in black, white, and cream, matching the lids that ship with Travel Cups and Travel Bowls. It is also a good opportunity to mix things up if you want a different colour on your cup or bowl.
One note on Heat Bands: the pink and purple variants are slightly thinner than the standard one
Are the lids and heat bands dishwasher safe?
Yes, all silicone lids and heat bands are dishwasher safe. Hand washing will help extend their life over time, but they are designed for regular use and will handle the dishwasher with normal use.
