What Makes a Cup Good for Latte Art?

What Makes a Cup Good for Latte Art?

A good latte art cup isn’t just about looks — it’s built for performance. Here’s what matters:

• Rounded Interior: A smooth, curved bottom helps the milk flow evenly, making it easier to pour precise designs.

• Wide Opening: Gives you space to move the pitcher and control the pour, especially for hearts, rosettas, and tulips.

• Correct Size: Most latte artists prefer 6–8 oz cups — big enough for milk texture, small enough to keep the espresso rich.

• Thick Walls: Helps retain heat and stabilize the crema, so your art holds longer.

• Comfortable Handle (or no handle): Should feel balanced and easy to hold while pouring.

At Ceramora, we design each latte cup with these in mind — so your art has the best canvas possible.
