Coffee cups are often used more than you think. At breakfast, while working, or when you have guests. In this collection you’ll find cups that are pleasant to drink from, feel good in the hand, and are easy to combine with the rest of your tableware.
Coffee cups for every day and for guests
A good coffee cup makes a regular moment just a little nicer. So pay attention not only to the colour, but also to the size, shape and material. Looking for small cups for espresso, or a slightly larger model for a café au lait or cappuccino? Then it helps to look at capacity and use. Many cups in this collection pair well with other tableware and are suitable for everyday use.
Here you’ll find various designs from well-known brands, from simple and light to a little more striking in colour or print. That makes it easy to choose a set that suits your dining table, open cabinet or coffee corner in the kitchen.
Buying guide: what should you look for in coffee cups?
1. Choose the right size
For espresso, a smaller cup is often the nicest option. If you drink regular black coffee, a medium size is usually enough. For cappuccino or coffee with milk, a larger cup is often more practical, so there is enough room for foam or extra milk.
2. Pay attention to the shape of the handle
If you use your cups several times a day, a comfortable handle is important. A slightly larger handle often feels better in the hand, especially with hot drinks.
3. Think about mixing and matching
If you want to build a calm set, choose cups that match your plates, bowls and glasses. If you prefer a bit more variation, you can also combine different colours or patterns freely. Also take a look at our mugs if you’re looking for larger drinking vessels alongside coffee cups.
4. Consider use and care
For everyday use, it is handy if cups are sturdy and easy to clean. Also consider whether you want to use them for a quick coffee break during the week or for a beautifully set table when you have guests.
How to style coffee cups in your home
Coffee cups look lovely on a tray, in an open cabinet or on a shelf by the coffee machine. Combine them with a milk jug, spoons and a sugar bowl for a polished setup. If you also like to serve tea alongside coffee, take a look at the teapots to coordinate everything nicely.
If you want to keep the look calm, choose one base colour and then add a few accents. If you have a smaller kitchen or dining area, lighter shades often work well because they feel less busy. A mix of plain cups with one subtle pattern can also stay nicely balanced.
