Finding the Perfect Espresso Cup

A good espresso cup isn’t just about looks—it’s about function. The size of the cup plays a huge role in how your coffee tastes and feels.

If the cup is too big, your espresso can feel small, the crema spreads out too thin, and the drink cools down too quickly.
If the cup is too small, it makes pouring tricky, and drinking from it doesn’t feel enjoyable.

At Ceramica de Meles, we believe the perfect cup should balance both practicality and pleasure, while being versatile enough to serve different espresso styles.

Our Size Guide

• 2 oz cup – ideal for a short espresso.

• 3 oz cup – perfect for a lung shot.

• 4 oz cup – the sweet spot for espresso or a cortado.

Multi-Functional by Design

We design our cups to be more than just single-use. A well-crafted cup should work across drinks, giving you freedom whether you’re pulling a quick shot or enjoying a slower moment with a cortado.

The Upcoming Series

In our upcoming series of espresso cups, we’ve put this philosophy into practice. We believe we’ve created pieces that not only look beautiful but also feel right in the hand, keep the coffee at its best, and match the ritual of your daily brew.
