Why this cup earns its place
90ml is the working size for espresso service: a double shot pours into headroom without overflow, sits in the cup without cooling instantly, and the rim sits above the stain line. The vitrified porcelain body holds heat longer than thinner ceramics — your espresso stays hot long enough to drink, which matters when a service runs three minutes across a full machine.
Café service breaks cups daily. Espresso cups get dropped because they're small enough to seem lightweight, and they chip from the saucer when a server grabs both at once. Vitrified porcelain is hardwearing by design. The white glaze resists staining from espresso oils and coffee grounds; white throughout means no pattern fades into age. Dishwasher-safe and freezer-safe, so chilled cups go straight from the walk-in into a passthrough without cracking.
