Why this cups & mug earns its place
An espresso cup in vitrified porcelain holds heat and shot integrity together. The 9 cl capacity takes a double shot (60 ml) with room for a sip of water on the same table—a small detail that separates a café from a rush. Vitrified porcelain fires at high temperature, so the glaze is non-porous and the body thick enough to insulate the coffee and keep the cup comfortable to hold. The delicate embossment is fired into the form itself.
A proper espresso cup has weight in the hand—it signals that the coffee is worth attention, and the thick porcelain delivers that signal while keeping the shot hot across multiple pours during a service rush. The handle is proportioned to the cup, sizing comfortably for a two-finger grip or a full hand if the server prefers.
