Know before you buy
The tapered design mimics a wine glass, which helps concentrate the aromatic compounds of your coffee toward your nose. Since a significant portion of flavor perception is tied to smell, this shape allows you to pick up more subtle, nuanced notes that might be lost in a standard straight-walled mug.
Yes, despite its elegant appearance, it is crafted from high-quality Mino ware porcelain. It is designed for everyday use and is fully dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe.
The Pinot Flavor Cup has a capacity of 6.7 ounces (200ml). It is specifically sized for specialty coffee tasting or a standard serving of matcha rather than a large volume of drip coffee.
Absolutely. While it is optimized for specialty coffee, the shape works exceptionally well for matcha, tea, or even craft beverages where aroma plays a key role in the drinking experience.
Not at all. The texture is integrated into the porcelain finish, and because the cup is dishwasher safe, it is easy to maintain without any special cleaning requirements.
