Exquisite espresso enjoyment combined with the perfect high-quality porcelain espresso cup is the crowning glory of your moment of pleasure.

Meissen espresso cups: What is the advantage of porcelain?
Porcelain is an exclusive and high-quality raw material that transforms a simple drinking experience into an extraordinary moment of pleasure. Porcelain espresso cups not only look beautiful and elegant, the material is also very durable and long-lasting. A high-quality porcelain espresso cup can withstand years of heat and everyday wear and tear. The espresso cup also requires minimal care and cleaning to keep it looking like new. An additional advantage is that porcelain espresso cups are non-conductive and therefore retain heat longer than conventional ceramic cups, so that the espresso drink from a porcelain espresso cup guarantees a long-lasting moment of enjoyment. For these reasons, porcelain espresso cups are the ideal choice for all espresso lovers.
How big is an espresso cup - single vs. double espresso?
Espresso cups come in two different sizes - single and double espresso cups. Single espresso cups are designed for an extra shot and hold about 60 ml (2 oz.) of espresso, while double espresso cups are much larger with a capacity of 120-180 ml (4-6 oz.). Size is an important factor when choosing between a single and double espresso cup, depending on how much espresso you drink and what strength you prefer. Double high-quality espresso cups are better for those who want to drink a stronger espresso, as they offer more space for multiple shots or additional ingredients such as steamed milk, sugar syrup or cocoa powder.
