Description
This is a small espresso cup in black stoneware, 6cm across and 6cm tall, and it holds 75ml. That capacity makes it a cup for a short, strong coffee, not a mug of tea or a milky latte. Fine vertical ribs run all the way round from the rim to the base, and a curved handle sits neatly to one side. The glaze has a shimmer to it, so the black surface catches small points of light instead of reading flat. Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well.
Keep it wherever the coffee is made: beside an espresso machine or a stovetop pot in the kitchen, on the breakfast table, or brought out after dinner when guests want something short to finish the meal. It sits comfortably in the palm of one hand, and at 0.1KG it is light to hold, whether you drink standing at the counter or sitting at the table. The ribbed sides give the fingers a texture to grip and the curved handle gives an easy hold. It suits anyone who makes espresso at home and wants proper small cups beside the machine, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a coffee lover.
It is made of 100% stoneware with a shimmering glaze. It goes in the dishwasher, so it can be washed with the rest of the everyday crockery. The maker says it is not for the microwave or the oven, so heat the drink in the machine or the pot, never in the cup. The styling props shown are not included. We like black stoneware against pale wood, linen and warm neutrals: line a few up on a tray beside the coffee machine, or put one on a small plate with a biscuit for an after-dinner coffee.
