About Espresso Cups

To enjoy high-quality espresso coffee, every detail matters. Espresso cups are no exception. They ensure the right temperature, enhance the flavors and aromas, and provide a pleasant drinking experience. In Coffee Friend selection, you will find a wide range of espresso cups with the highest quality and style.

The Best Espresso Cup: What Is It Like?

Espresso coffee is a concentrated drink typically consumed quite quickly. Therefore, the espresso cup needs to be the right size. Their volume is usually between 60 and 90 ml. If you enjoy a double espresso, then a 100–120 ml cup is ideal.

Small espresso cups best reveal the subtle flavors of espresso coffee, helping form a thick espresso Crema (the creamy coffee foam) and maintain the optimal temperature. The ideal shape for an espresso cup is egg-shaped or tulip-shaped with a slanted edge. Espresso cups are made from various materials, but the most common ones are porcelain or double-walled glass cups. Both materials are not only aesthetically pleasing but also excellent at retaining heat, preserving the flavor of the coffee. The interior of the espresso cup, if not glass, is usually white, as this color allows you to evaluate the caramel tones of the Crema and the rich color of the espresso.

A Special Cup for Every Coffee Drink

A good coffee cup must not only be pretty or comfortable, but also highlight the best qualities of the coffee. In our assortment, you will find not only espresso cups but also cups designed for other coffee drinks. After all, different types of drinks require cups with certain features. Each cup boasts its unique design, size, colors, or materials. The assortment includes cups in various colors and styles, catering to those who love minimalism and modern design, as well as those who prefer to bring a touch of classic or vintage charm into their daily routine. Each cup, with its unique features, is ideal for highlighting the best qualities of your favorite coffee – whether it’s the taste, texture, body, or aroma.

Espresso Cups with Saucer: What Are the Advantages?

Espresso cups are often sold with matching saucers. Elegant coffee cups with saucers bring a sense of sophistication to your home and are perfect for serving guests delicious espresso coffee or enjoying your special coffee ritual. Moreover, cups with saucers help keep the espresso coffee hot longer because the saucer provides an extra layer of insulation, while preventing the surface or your hands from heating up from the hot small cup.

Double-Walled Glass Espresso Cups

A growing trend is enjoying espresso from glass coffee cups. Double-walled glass cups are perfect for those who like to see the color and clarity of the espresso. The golden Crema is clearly visible, allowing you to assess the quality of the coffee. The double glass offers excellent heat retention properties. You don’t need to worry about burning your hands from the hot coffee because the double-wall construction prevents heat from transferring to the outside of the cup. Double-walled glass cups are more durable and long-lasting, as they don’t break as easily. They also look elegant and subtle.

Espresso Glasses

Espresso glasses are also made from glass, but they lack a handle. Additionally, glass doesn’t affect the taste of the coffee, and because of its transparency, it’s easy to visually assess the quality of the brewed espresso. Usually they are easy to maintain and dishwasher-safe. You will also find double-walled glasses in the assortment. Thanks to double-walled glass, the outside doesn’t heat up, making the glass easy to hold. Double-walled espresso glasses are highly durable, scratch-resistant, and don’t wear out quickly.
