Why this cup earns its place
An 85 ml espresso cup is the working size for a double shot and crema without running over the brim. These cups are built from fully vitrified porcelain — the material standard in commercial kitchens because it resists the daily shock of fast service and passthrough washers. A 12-pack rotates through one service cycle, so most venues stock three or four packs to maintain bench speed.
The handle is small and proportioned for a single-hand grip on a full cup — essential when you're pulling 40 espressos an hour. They stack tight in the warmer or store deep in a cupboard, rotating without waste. Dishwasher-safe and freezer-safe, so you can chill them before service if speed matters.
