Know before you buy
No, these cups are not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted ceramic, we recommend hand washing them gently to preserve their finish.
No, this design is handle-free. It features a clean, round silhouette that is intended to be held directly in the hand.
Each piece is individually handcrafted in Paris, meaning there will be subtle variations in shape and texture. Each cup is also stamped with the artisan's initials, making every item a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
No, this cup is not insulated. It is crafted from traditional ceramic, which provides a beautiful tactile experience but does not offer the heat retention properties of double-walled or insulated drinkware.
The Simple Espresso Cup measures 85 x 55 x 50 mm, making it specifically sized for a standard espresso shot.
