Put together a porcelain espresso set and enjoy it in true Italian style

It's not for nothing that espresso is associated with the Italian way of life: the coffee speciality was created in Milan around 1900. Even back then, hot water was used for this, which was pressed through ground coffee at high pressure - the result is concentrated coffee with a high caffeine content.

Serve espresso in style in a small, thick-walled Italian espresso cup with a small diameter. A saucer is also included, on which amarettini or a chocolate-covered coffee bean can be served. In terms of shape, classic Italian espresso cups are similar to conventional coffee cups, except that they have a significantly smaller capacity of around 90 ml.

In addition, the inner base of the espresso cup is rounded so that the sugar can dissolve well, as espresso is usually drunk heavily sweetened. The espresso is finished off with a golden-brown head of foam, also known as crema.

For this "La Dolce Vita" pleasure, you can obtain the perfect espresso cups from Rosenthal's design classics from us. Customise your espresso cup set and add the matching Rosenthal dinnerware items to your dinnerware set.

Timelessly modern porcelain design from Rosenthal

The fine material porcelain is favoured worldwide for its beautiful, flawless appearance. The classic porcelain espresso cups impress with a variety of intricate designs, harmonious colours and durability that stands the test of time. 

The high-quality Rosenthal porcelain has a high level of thermal insulation. A thick-walled espresso cup made from this popular material is therefore ideal for keeping coffee at the right temperature for a long time. The porcelain cups also impress with their robust nature and are particularly easy to clean. 

At Rosenthal, you can customise your espresso cup set, consisting of a porcelain upper cup and porcelain saucer. You can choose the decor to suit your personal taste and furnishing style. Whether white porcelain with a radiant glaze, colourful patterns or elegant ornaments - with an espresso cup made of fine porcelain, you are always making a good decision.

What is the difference between an espresso cup and a mocha cup?

If you are looking for high-quality matching espresso cups, you will quickly come across the term "espresso cup & mocha cup". There is a good reason for this: espresso and mocha are both concentrated coffee drinks that are enjoyed in small quantities. However, they differ in the way they are prepared. 

Mocha, a speciality in Greece and Turkey, is traditionally prepared in a small pot. Espresso, on the other hand, is prepared directly in the cup. Hot water is used for this, which is forced through the ground coffee under pressure. Mocha cups are often characterised by their so-called "flute shape", which tapers conically at the bottom. Thanks to this shape, the mocha can collect at the bottom and the coffee grounds remain in the cup while drinking.

However, mocha cups are also suitable for espresso, as they are a similar size. This means you can also enjoy your flavoured mocha from Rosenthal espresso cups.
