Coffee & tea cups

Which cup is best for an espresso?

Espresso is usually served in a small espresso cup that keeps the drink warm and concentrated. Many espresso cups hold roughly 60–90 ml.

What’s the difference between a coffee cup and a tea cup?

A tea cup is typically larger for a longer drink, while a coffee cup is often smaller and more compact. In practice, it depends on how you like to drink—short, medium or long.

Mug or cup: which should you choose?

Choose a mug if you like a bigger drink or want a more casual, cosy feel. Choose a cup and saucer if you prefer a cleaner table look or serve guests often.

What’s the best material for coffee cups?

Porcelain and stoneware are popular for coffee cups because they feel pleasant, hold heat well and don’t interfere with flavour. Choose what fits your daily routine and how you like the cup to feel in hand.

Should you buy cups as a set?

A cup set makes your table look consistent and is practical for hosting. Buying individual cups is ideal if you like mixing shapes or want to add a few extra pieces.
