Why this cup earns its place
At 85ml, this is the size for espresso as it should be served: a proper double-shot cup that respects the coffee without pretence. The Brown Dapple finish—warm cream with soft brown speckling—frames the drink without competing; these are cups that work as hard in your hand as they do on the shelf. Steelite's vitrified ceramic stands up to the constant handling and fast cycles espresso service demands.
The 85ml capacity is precise. Not a guess, not "around an espresso"—it's the working standard across third-wave coffee shops and fine-dining pass stations. Dishwasher safe, freezer rated, and designed to stack without fuss, these cups integrate into a high-turnover service instantly. A 12-pack (1.42 kg) is right-sized for specialty-coffee venues that stock multiple origins or grind-to-order setups.
The Brown Dapple range was designed with busy kitchens in mind. These cups look considered without being fragile. They perform.
