To truly experience the taste and uniqueness of a particular beverage, it’s not just the quality of the drink that matters but also the proper cup or glass. Before purchasing, it is especially recommended to pay attention to attributes such as size, shape, material, and wall thickness. Every cup or glass has specific properties for a reason. Each drink is different, and its best qualities are revealed in the appropriate materials, temperatures, and even shapes. These are the factors typically considered by manufacturers of various brands. In the Coffee Friend assortment, you will find cups and glasses from different global manufacturers, known for their quality and style, suitable for various types of coffee, tea, or other beverage enthusiasts.
Each coffee beverage is made differently. Some are made without additives, while others have milk or other flavorings, differing only in proportions. It’s no surprise that different coffee cups may be ideal for each drink, helping reveal its best qualities. The most common materials are ceramic, porcelain, glass, clay, and stainless steel coffee cups. These materials are less porous, so they do not absorb smells and flavors, ensuring that the coffee remains unique. Standard coffee cup sizes range from small espresso cups to larger ones suitable for lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based coffee drinks. The most enjoyable texture of your favorite coffee is revealed by cups of various shapes, and for different tastes, you will find various design solutions in the assortment.
Espresso cups and glasses with specific characteristics help reveal the taste qualities of this drink. The most commonly used are small-diameter and volume (about 60-90 ml) egg-shaped or tulip-shaped cups with a sloping, thicker, rounded rim. This helps maintain the perfect Crema (the yellow-brown foam). The Crema foam helps evaluate whether the espresso has been brewed properly. To ensure it is clearly visible, espresso cups are made with either a white interior or are transparent.
Cappuccino cups or glasses typically have a volume of 170-250 ml and widen from the bottom up. A narrow, thicker bottom with a sloping wall prevents unnecessary bubbles from forming, while the thinner upper part highlights the Crema edges. Cups are usually made of porcelain, glass, ceramic, or stone. All these materials have excellent heat retention properties and prevent the cappuccino from cooling down quickly.
Latte cups or glasses are typically made with a volume of 250-300 ml. They are usually made of ceramic, porcelain, or double-walled glass. Transparent material is needed to clearly see the layers of the drink, and the double wall prevents the cup from getting hot on the outside. Ceramic cups are just as popular as glass ones. Aesthetic and functional ceramic latte cups retain heat effectively, and this material does not absorb flavors or smells, ensuring a uniquely flavored coffee drink.
Tea cups are rarely specifically named by manufacturers, as they are quite universal and suitable for various drinks. It is important to pay attention to the material the cup is made of, which should be non-porous to prevent aromas from being absorbed into the material. Tea cups are generally made of ceramic, porcelain, glass, or stainless steel. Ceramic helps retain heat, while porcelain’s smooth edges prevent tea tannins from sticking, preserving its texture. Glass cups have good heat retention properties, while stainless steel cups are known for their durability and longevity. The design, capacity, and convenience are crucial for tea drinks. In the assortment, you will find larger and smaller cups, some with handles and others without, modern designs, those with deep traditions or vintage styles, as well as pastel or brightly colored tea cups.
To enjoy traditional mate tea, special Yerba mate tableware is needed. The uniquely shaped mate cup (also called a calabash), which resembles a pumpkin, is extremely important. While yerba mate cups can be made from various materials, ceramic ones are among the most popular. Ceramic mate cups are easy to maintain, resistant to high temperatures, and preserve the natural flavors of the herbs. Ceramic calabashes, with their unique design, allow you to get closer to the traditions of drinking mate and can be passed down through generations. A calabash is usually not imagined without a bombilla (metal straw). This straw has holes at the bottom, acting as a filter, so you sip the delicious tea while the herbs remain at the bottom of the calabash.
For those who enjoy aesthetic drink presentations, cups with saucers are perfect. Saucers not only allow for a more aesthetic presentation but also make serving drinks more convenient. Those who like to enhance their coffee or tea with additional flavorings can conveniently place their portioned sugar, teaspoon, or snack on the saucer. The extra saucer also serves as protection against excessive heat and helps maintain the temperature of the drink in the cup, acting as a second bottom. Due to elegance and functionality, ceramics and porcelain are the most popular materials for cups with saucers for tea and various coffee drinks.
Double-walled glass cups are designed for modern and aesthetic drink presentation as well as convenient use. Transparent glass cups allow you to see the contents, and the vacuum space between the double walls ensures the perfect drink temperature. Because the vacuum space works in both directions, hot drinks stay hot longer, while cold drinks remain cool. Functional and stylish double-walled glass cups do not heat up on the outside, preventing burns, and they also do not accumulate condensation. Whether drinking hot or cold coffee, these cups are very comfortable to hold. Due to low porosity, double-walled glass cups are suitable not only for coffee drinks but also for tea, preserving all the drink’s flavor and aroma qualities.
Glasses for coffee give the drink a modern touch and are perfect for those who enjoy milk-based coffees. Transparent glass helps visually assess the quality of the coffee drink. In our assortment, you will find espresso, cappuccino, and latte glasses in various sizes and styles. The assortment includes both regular coffee glasses and double-walled glasses. Thanks to the double-glass wall construction, the desired drink temperature is effectively maintained, so you can enjoy both very hot and iced coffee. Double-walled glass cups do not fog up, do not burn your fingers, and ensure total comfort.
Thermal cups are ideal for travelers, allowing them to enjoy hot coffee or tea anywhere, anytime. Stainless steel is the most popular material used to make functional thermal cups, and the double-wall construction is a key advantage. Stainless steel thermal cups with double walls keep drinks hot or cold for long hours. Typically, thermal cups have a convenient, secure lid that prevents spills and allows for easy sipping. Durable and long-lasting, thermal cups feature elegant, modern, and ergonomic designs. You’ll find thermal cups in different capacities and shapes in our assortment.
Reusable cups are an eco-friendly way to enjoy coffee or tea while on the go. Environmentally friendly reusable cups are made from materials that are harmless to both the environment and health, such as stainless steel, glass, silicone, porcelain, and recycled plastics. Eco-friendly reusable coffee cups with double-walled construction feature excellent insulating properties. Coffee or tea in them retains its flavor qualities. Reusable coffee cups also do not absorb flavors or smells. Aesthetic and functional design and form solutions perfectly satisfy various needs.
