Espresso cups for the best coffee

Porcelain espresso cups

Delft blue espresso cups
At Heinen Delfts Blauw we love coffee, in all variations. From espresso to a creamy latte machiatto and everything in between. That is why you will also find nice espresso cups in our tableware collections. Most of our espresso cups are made in Delft blue, except for the Avondbloem collection. This espresso cup is made of white porcelain, printed with gray-black tones and gold accents. We chose this color for the espresso cup because these are the shades of Delft blue paint before it goes into the oven. The paint consists of cobalt oxide, which most resembles liquid charcoal and only when the paint comes into contact with glaze and then goes into the hot oven does the color change from black to the well-known Delft blue. The espresso cup does have the traditional Delft blue decorations around the cup. The straight-shaped handle gives the porcelain espresso cup a somewhat sturdy look.

Our espresso cups from the Sharing Moments tableware collection, designed in collaboration with Janny van der Heijden, are also extremely popular. As always, the tableware must meet the high standards of kitchen queen Janny, with the result that the espresso cups look beautiful, are of high quality and are also functional in use. The porcelain espresso cups fit very comfortably in the palm of your hand, the thick porcelain provides good insulation and thanks to the different sides and the handle, the espresso cup is convenient to drink from. For her collection she has made espresso cups with different designs: Dachshund Nhaan and cheeky monkeys.

Italian espresso cups
Espresso is an Italian invention, even though there isn't a coffee bean field in all of Italy. They know better than anyone how to best serve this special hot drink. Italian espresso cups must therefore always meet a few important characteristics. The Italian espresso cups are always made of high-quality porcelain. The thickness of the wall of the espresso cup is extremely important to get a good cream layer on the espresso, so the wall must be at least 5 mm thick. Double-walled espresso cups or porcelain espresso cups retain heat better, so that the espresso does not cool down too quickly. This is also why espresso cups have a relatively small opening, a small diameter of the cup. If the espresso cup is too wide at the top, the espresso will cool faster. In addition to the thick porcelain and the narrow opening, it is important that Italian espresso cups have a round bottom on the inside. This ensures that the coffee slides gently into the espresso cup, so to speak, so that the cream layer is not broken. To top it all off, an Italian espresso cup always comes with a matching saucer.
Espresso cups for baristas
When you ask for a cup of coffee in Italy, you will automatically be served an espresso. In the Netherlands we are not used to that and we specifically ask for espresso, coffee or cappuccino. While a regular coffee requires a different preparation process than an espresso, a cappuccino or a latte macchiato is not that different from an espresso. Actually, these popular coffees all start with a good espresso. Work like a real barista at home and make a delicious coffee for yourself and your guests. First of all, heat your espresso cup or cappuccino mug by briefly filling it with hot water and letting it stand for a few minutes before making coffee. Then press hot water at high pressure through the freshly ground coffee powder. Let the espresso flow gently into your preheated espresso cup or cappuccino mug. The high quality of the espresso cup is now even more important, because hot milk must also be added and the coffee must therefore remain hot in the meantime. Then slowly and smoothly add the warm milk and finally the whipped milk foam. A good ratio is approximately one part espresso, one part hot milk and one part milk foam.
