Two Styles, Whatever Your Preference
One of the most significant conversations we had in our studio during the development of the Barista Collection centred on the choice between handle and handle-free cups. So, we thought, why not offer both? The Cafe Cup, with its handle, is reminiscent of the charm of Milan’s iconic coffee bars, while the Savour Cup, handle-free, draws influence from the minimalist elegance of Seoul’s modern coffee culture. Despite their differences, both cups share the same refined body shape and graceful curves, blending tradition with contemporary style. Curate your perfect set by mixing and matching—perhaps a timeless espresso cup for your morning brew, paired with a tactile, handle-free cup for your Flat White later in the day.
Cups for Every Coffee Style
Each piece in the Barista Collection is thoughtfully crafted to complement different coffee styles. Espresso cups enhance aroma and preserve crema, flat white cups achieve the perfect balance between espresso and milk, cappuccino cups support a rich foam layer, and the taller filter cups allow for a precise, full-bodied brew. Matching saucers complete the collection, providing a stable base for your cup with room for small extras, such as a spoon or biscuit.
Design That Enhances Flavour
A well-designed cup doesn’t just look good—it transforms the coffee experience. The Barista Collection embodies this philosophy with soft, curved interiors that allow for flawless milk integration, ergonomic handles for a comfortable grip, and a refined lip for a smooth sip. Crafted from high-quality stoneware, these cups offer exceptional durability and heat retention, ensuring every sip remains as satisfying as the first. But it's not just the shape that influences how coffee tastes—colour plays a role too. Bright colours can distract from the natural aromas of the coffee, while Monoware’s earthy matt glazes—from Chalk, Pebble, and Slate—complement both light and dark roasts, enhancing a balanced and harmonious sensory experience. As we reach for a cup each day, we often overlook the subtle details that make all the difference.
