Frequently asked questions

What sets Rosenthal’s espresso cups apart?

Rosenthal’s espresso cups are characterised by high-quality porcelain, precise craftsmanship and a wide range of designs . The range includes both timeless design classics and modern, distinctive espresso cups. Depending on the collection, the cups are available with or without handles, with or without saucers, and in various sizes.

As well as their appearance, they impress with their functional properties: the high-quality porcelain offers excellent thermal insulation. A thick-walled espresso cup is therefore ideal for keeping the coffee at the right temperature for a long time. The porcelain cups also impress with their robust construction and are particularly easy to care for.

How big should espresso cups be?

Espresso cups should generally have a capacity of around 80 to 100 ml. This size provides enough room for a classic espresso, including the crema, without the cup looking too large or the drink cooling down too quickly.

Small espresso cups are particularly suitable for a single espresso, whilst slightly larger models can also be used for a double espresso or various other preparation methods.

Why are thick-walled espresso cups so popular?

Thick-walled espresso cups are very popular because they retain the heat of the espresso for longer and prevent the drink from cooling down too quickly. This is particularly important for small coffee specialities, as the small amount of liquid loses heat more quickly. Furthermore, thick-walled cups feel particularly sturdy and high-quality.

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

The difference between espresso and mocha cups lies primarily in their intended use and capacity. Espresso cups are designed for enjoying Italian espresso and usually offer slightly more volume to allow for crema and the full development of aroma.

Mocha cups are often smaller and are traditionally used for mocha or Turkish coffee, which is served in small portions. Both cup styles are suitable for intense coffee specialities and, depending on the collection, differ primarily in size, shape and design. This means you can also enjoy your aromatic mocha perfectly from Rosenthal espresso cups.
