Know before you buy
The cup features a wide base that allows for better flavor diffusion, while the tapered shape is specifically engineered to concentrate the coffee's aroma toward your nose, creating a more immersive sensory experience.
While the porcelain is durable and heat-resistant, it is not insulated. If you fill it with very hot coffee, the exterior will be warm to the touch, so you may want to hold it by the upper rim or let it cool slightly before handling.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality Mino ware porcelain, which is known for its strength and longevity. It is designed for everyday use and is safe to put in the dishwasher, microwave, and oven.
The cup has a total capacity of 200ml when filled to the brim. It is best suited for a standard single serving of pour-over coffee or a double espresso.
Yes, the cup is oven-safe, allowing you to preheat it to maintain your coffee's temperature for longer. However, please use caution when removing it from the oven as the porcelain will be very hot.
