THE WORKING VIEW

Why this cups & mug earns its place

A 23 cl cup—8 oz—that sits between espresso and cappuccino, designed for venues that serve smaller milk-based drinks or want a step down from the full 34 cl cappuccino. Cortados, small lattes, and flat whites with reduced milk all fit this volume naturally. Vitrified porcelain provides the durability needed in constant dishwasher service, with a glaze finish that resists staining and hot-water stress.

The shell blue glaze draws on serene coastal inspiration, creating a deliberate visual identity for the full Aqua range. Colour consistency across cup sizes means a table set with mixed cup volumes still reads as coherent—important where diverse orders come at once (a cortado at one seat, a cappuccino at the next). The rim is finished smooth, without sharp edges or glaze imperfections that would interrupt the drink experience.

At 23 cl, this cup also serves as a bridge for venues experimenting with portion sizes or managing milk consumption. It's common in European coffee culture as a standard size option, familiar to customers used to Italian or Scandinavian café conventions.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

23 cl equals approximately 8 fl oz. This size is widely used in European catering and sits comfortably between smaller (espresso/cortado) and larger (cappuccino) servings.

Yes, precisely. A cortado (espresso with equal hot milk) naturally fills a 23 cl cup without crowding, leaving room for a small saucer overlap.

Vitrified porcelain moderates heat well. A 23 cl drink stays hot for 4–6 minutes in normal service, cool enough to sip within a minute but warm enough to enjoy over a few minutes.

Yes, fully dishwasher-safe at all standard commercial cycles. Ensure stacking doesn't prevent water circulation.

The colour is integral to the fired glaze, so it's stable against washing and daily use. It won't fade or wash away with repeated cycles.

Yes. The entire Ariane Shell Aqua range shares the same glaze and colour, so 23 cl, 34 cl, and all Aqua saucers coordinate visually.
