Why this cup earns its place
An 89 ml cup sized precisely for espresso pulls without overfilling—three-quarters full is professional practice, and this cup enforces it. The 55 mm diameter and 65 mm height are proportioned for a quick grip without scalding the fingers during the bar rush. Porcelain glazing hides the scorch marks that accumulate on a busy espresso machine: oils, milk splatter, and burnt residue stay invisible against matte black.
The handle on this size is engineered small and tight. It's not designed to linger in; it's designed to grab and hand off during service. During breakfast rush or an afternoon coffee run, this matters. Black porcelain resists thermal shock better than thinner ceramic, so rapid cycling from espresso heat to icy dishwasher doesn't cause crazing.
A 12-pack aligns with a typical espresso bar's cup count for a service cycle. Stacking is vertical and space-efficient, crucial when bar real estate is measured in centimetres. The 5-year edge chip warranty covers the constant contact with saucers and machine surfaces that espresso service demands.
