Know before you buy
The cup is designed to be held comfortably in the palm of your hand. Because it is crafted from durable stoneware, it retains heat well, so you may want to hold it by the top rim if your coffee is served at a very high temperature.
Yes, the stoneware construction is fully heat-resistant and durable enough for daily use in the microwave and oven, as well as standard dishwasher cycles.
You will notice subtle differences in the glaze application and texture, which is a hallmark of the hand-finishing process. While the overall shape and off-white tone remain consistent, each piece has its own unique character.
The cup holds 4.40 ounces (13cL), making it perfectly sized for a standard espresso, a double shot, or a small cortado.
The glazed finish is non-porous and designed to resist staining. To keep the surface pristine, we recommend rinsing the cup after use rather than letting coffee residue sit for extended periods.
