Why this helps make better coffee

A small espresso can look lost at the bottom of a large mug. Adding more water to fill the mug changes your recipe. A suitable espresso cup helps you deliberately keep the portion small. The cup does not determine how well your espresso is dialled in.

This grey espresso cup holds 60 ml and is made of porcelain. Its small capacity is designed for espresso and encourages you to consider the amount in your cup. The rounded base and stackable shape are practical in a coffee corner. The supplier states that it is handmade in Vietnam; the natural finish may initially feel slightly rough.

A suitably sized small cup for your espresso recipe, without any guarantee of better flavour.

Who is this suitable for?

For anyone who enjoys espresso in a small porcelain cup. The grey finish is a style choice; the 60 ml capacity determines whether your usual recipe fits comfortably. Leave room for crema and for moving the cup without spilling.

For whom is this not necessary?

Less suitable for a long coffee, cappuccino or latte, as the capacity is limited. It will not fix espresso that tastes too sour or bitter either. In that case, check your beans and recipe before changing cups.

Does this fit your machine, routine or use?

Compatibility
The cup does not connect to a machine. Check whether its 50 mm height fits beneath your spout, including any scale or alternative drip-tray setup. The 60 mm diameter helps you assess your workspace; it does not guarantee universal compatibility.

Advice from Geert-Jan the Barista Man

With over 10 years of experience in providing barista workshops at home, at businesses, and in Amsterdam, Geert-Jan is happy to share his advice.

Who is Geert-Jan?

From practice:

At De Barista Shop, Geert-Jan de Baristaman helps you choose based on the coffee you actually want to drink. Capacity and recipe go hand in hand. Choose the colour to suit your coffee corner; assess flavour based on your beans, preparation and the proportions in your cup.

My advice:

Choose this grey cup if 60 ml suits your usual espresso and the cup fits comfortably beneath your spout. Do not use it as a reason to let a shot run longer until the cup is full. A consistent portion helps you compare your results.

Here's how to use this in your coffee routine

A barista tool only really works well when you know where it fits into your routine.

Get into the routine:

Preheat before brewing; serve after extraction.

Usage:

Preheat before brewing; serve after extraction.

Geert-Jan's tip:

When comparing shots, use the same cup and the same amount of espresso. This keeps presentation from changing alongside your recipe. Note any changes to your coffee or grind instead of immediately attributing flavour differences to the cup.

What is a 60 ml capacity suitable for?

For serving a small espresso. Whether your single or double espresso fits comfortably depends on your recipe and the space needed for crema. The full 60 ml capacity does not mean you should brew exactly that much espresso.

Will the cup fit under my espresso machine?

Measure the available height beneath your spout, including your scale. This cup is 50 mm high and 60 mm in diameter. Also check its position beneath the spout; a general brand name does not guarantee a fit.

How do I keep the natural exterior clean?

Rinse after use and clean with a fresh sponge or brush. Do not leave the cup soaking for long periods. According to the supplier, it is dishwasher-safe. The exterior may initially feel slightly rough and be more prone to staining; follow the supplied care instructions.
