Which coffee cup is suitable for which coffee?
In many restaurants, catering establishments and also in offices, you will come across three types of cups: espresso cups, coffee cups and cappuccino cups. Each format has its own unique function and application. Are you wondering which coffee goes with which cup, mug or glass? In this blog we will explain it to you!
Different types of cups, mugs and glasses
Espresso cups
Espresso cups are specially designed for the concentrated flavour of an espresso. They are small, usually 6 - 7 cl, and made of thick ceramic or porcelain to retain heat. The small volume allows the coffee to be consumed quickly, preserving optimal flavour. Espresso cups are ideal for a quick and powerful coffee experience.
Coffee cups
The 'regular' coffee cup is slightly larger and contains between 15 - 20 cl of coffee. This coffee is usually diluted with water, which gives it a milder flavour. Coffee cups are versatile and can be used for different types of coffee. They often come with a saucer for added convenience.
Cappuccino cups
The largest variant is the cappuccino cup, which can hold 20 - 25 cl on average. Cappuccino cups are wide and bulbous, with plenty of room for frothed milk. These cups ensure that the cappuccino maintains its temperature. They usually come with a saucer.
Latte cups
These cups have an average capacity of 25 - 30 cl. These cups are slightly larger than the cappuccino cups, as latte contains more milk. Café au lait is therefore a combination of coffee and lots of milk. These cups can be printed and supplied with a saucer.
Coffee mugs
A mug is larger than a standard coffee cup and can hold between 20 - 40 cl. This makes mugs ideal for coffee or tea lovers who do not want to keep refilling. Coffee mugs usually have an ear for easy holding.
Latte macchiato glass
These glasses are specially designed for latte macchiato and usually hold around 30 cl. Latte macchiato contains milk and coffee. Because first the milk and then the coffee are added to the glass, layers are created, which is what makes a latte macchiato so beautiful.
Coffee glasses
Coffee glasses are popular these days for serving coffee. In a glass, the layers of, say, a cappuccino or latte macchiato come out well. This makes drinking coffee a real experience. Double-walled glasses keep coffee hot longer and stay cool on the outside.
Coffee mugs to go
These reusable cups are ideal for taking to work, as they cannot break and are easy to wash. It is possible to engrave these cups, which vary in capacity from 10 - 40 cl, and they are available with different lids.
