Know before you buy
The exterior features a tactile biscuit finish, which provides a matte, slightly textured feel that contrasts nicely with the smooth, glazed interior.
Yes, the GARDE Espresso Cup is dishwasher safe. Despite the hand-painted gold accent and unique finish, it is designed for everyday use and easy maintenance.
The cup measures 2.25 inches in height with a diameter of 3.25 inches, making it perfectly sized for a standard single or double espresso shot.
While the gold accent is hand-painted, the cup is durable enough for regular dishwasher cycles. However, to maintain the luster of the gold finish over many years, hand washing is a gentle alternative.
The GARDE Espresso Cup is sold as a single unit. Its distinct design makes it a great standalone piece for your collection or a thoughtful gift.
