Know before you buy
No, the OTEMAE Maromu Coffee Bowl is not microwave or dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the artisan glaze.
It is designed for both. The smooth, round bottom is specifically engineered to allow for efficient whisking of matcha, while the shape also promotes excellent aeration for coffee.
The concave brim serves two purposes: it provides a natural, ergonomic grip for your fingers while holding the bowl, and it creates a controlled edge for pouring liquids without spilling.
The bowl has a capacity of 540ml, or approximately 18.25 ounces. This size is ideal for preparing one to two servings of coffee or matcha.
The bowl features a textured artisan glaze, which provides a tactile, warm feel in the hand. This finish is a hallmark of the traditional Mino ware porcelain craftsmanship used to create each piece.
