Crafting the World’s Best Latte Art Cup: The Ceramica De Meles Journey

For the past three years, Ceramica De Meles has been on a mission to craft cups that elevate the coffee experience — cups that feel right in the hand, hold heat beautifully, and serve as tools for creativity. Each year, each batch, and each design has brought us one step closer to something bigger. And six months ago, we decided it was time to go all in.

We set ourselves a new goal: to create the best latte art cup in the world.

The Finest Materials

To begin, we chose to work with Portuguese fine stoneware, a material known for its exceptional heat resistance, durability, and timeless feel. It’s the kind of clay that doesn’t just make a cup — it creates a lasting companion for baristas, home brewers, and anyone who believes coffee deserves intention.

The Perfect Design

Materials are only half the story. A true latte art cup needs precision: the right curvature, balance, weight distribution, and internal angles. So we teamed up with David from Odaka Studio, a designer who has spent the last decade studying and perfecting the geometry behind latte art cups. His experience and dedication to form made him the ideal partner for this journey.

Together, we’ve gone through countless sketches, prototypes, adjustments, and conversations — a long process of back-and-forth, testing, refining, and pushing the boundaries of what this cup can be.

The Right Partners

After months of experimenting and shaping, it finally feels like everything is aligning. We’ve found the right collaborators, the right materials, and the right vision. The cup we’re crafting isn’t just another product — it’s the result of years of evolution, creativity, and a shared passion for excellence.

At Ceramica De Meles, we believe the perfect latte art cup is not just about how it looks, but how it performs. And we can’t wait to share what we’ve been creating !
