About this product

Classic Porcelain Espresso Cups

The standard of the category: a thick-walled porcelain demitasse of 60 to 90 millilitres with its saucer, the cup every espresso machine is designed to pour into.

The wall thickness is not styling. An espresso is roughly 25 millilitres and the cup outweighs it ten to one, so the porcelain’s temperature decides the drink’s. A thick preheated wall holds a shot hot to the last sip; a thin cold one strips it in seconds. This is why cafés store cups on the machine’s warmer — and why we quote wall thickness and weight, not just a diameter.

The interior is a tulip bowl: it narrows toward the rim, folding the crema in on itself instead of spreading it thin. That curve is the difference between a shot that looks poured and one that looks tired.

Vitrified porcelain, fully glazed, stackable, and built for a commercial rack — with your decoration fired in-glaze so the washer cannot take it.

FAQ

Classic Porcelain Espresso Cups: quick answers

What is the minimum order for porcelain espresso cups?

Minimum order is just 12 — with bulk pricing tiers as quantities grow.

How fast will my order arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks — express turnaround is available for tight dates.

Why does the wall thickness matter so much?

Because the cup outweighs the drink ten to one. Twenty-five millilitres of espresso cannot warm three hundred grams of cold porcelain — the porcelain cools the espresso instead. A thick wall preheated on the machine holds the shot’s temperature; a thin cold one takes it. It is the single biggest thing a cup does to a coffee.

Why do you quote capacity in millilitres?

Because size names lie. One maker’s “small” is 90ml and another’s is 200ml, and a single shot served in the 200ml cup spreads thin, loses its crema and dies cold no matter how well it was pulled. An espresso cup is 60-90ml; we print the number on the quote so nobody orders by adjective.
