Arabia, or in any case the world beyond the Mediterranean Sea and the natural borders of Turkey and the Caspian Sea, always comes up when talking about coffee.
The Arabica variety is one of the main components of the coffee we all enjoy on our tables today. The spread of the coffee cup in Europe seems to date back to the Middle Ages, more precisely to the time of the Crusades, when armies of subjects of the Pope and the Christian religion went to Islamic lands to fight against the ' infidels '. According to the most attested historiographical sources, in fact, tableware services in majolica or porcelain already in the 15th and 16th centuries included the beloved coffee cups, with a narrower bottom than the upper part, with or without a lid, but all without a handle.
Decorated in most cases with a variety of motifs, from geometric to floral and landscape, they were the ones who welcomed coffee to our tables when it arrived in Europe during the 17th century.
Today we know coffee cups as an integral part of a set that also includes a metal or, for more frugal occasions, plastic spoon, and a saucer, almost always matching the cup in both color and material composition. However, this was not always the case. If coffee cups appeared in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries, saucers arrived much later, only during the 18th century, and immediately took over, so much so that they became the protagonists of a custom that today, we would think we were dealing with a madman.
In those days, the saucer was used to cool coffee. It was poured on it to be drunk from the saucer itself. It did not take long, however, for this custom to be considered inelegant, or even offensive, and it soon fell into disuse. Professional cooks, however, still today use saucers to test for salt for example in hot soups, as this is a very effective and quick way to cool down hot liquids.
Up to this point in history, the term 'cup' has always been used to refer to the coffee container. The reason lies in the fact that the coffee cup as we know it today was only invented in the mid-eighteenth century in England by the Briton Josiah Wedgwood , who perfected the use of majolica.
And the name tazzini? He designed several, each suited to a specific use: " el tazzinin " for drinking espresso coffee, " el tazzin " for wine and " la tazzinetta " for milk coffee.
This led to a meticulous and precise production, made of special materials and techniques aimed at enhancing just one element: espresso coffee. Espresso cups are the first thing a true Italian Espresso lover sees when he or she wakes up, and they are the perfect companions for every moment of break and relaxation, alone or in company, at work or in leisure time.
From the inside, they release the taste and aromas of a boiling blend of exotic beans, ground and extracted at high temperature. The result of this harmony gives a tasty and elegant break, the right step to start the day with sprint.
Be careful though, all this is only possible if you use the perfect espresso cup for your needs. Espressocups are not only used to hold the drink but also to enhance its taste, color, aroma and flavor.
The right cup has a balance between design and practicality, which is why it is essential to use the perfect cup, to make the most of this heavenly moment. Like many other kitchen objects used all over the world, coffee cups are the fruit of Italian passion and ingenuity.
They are simple only in appearance; in fact, their shape is carefully studied to enhance the drink they contain. Their ideal shape means they are narrower at the base, with a curved bottom to facilitate the raising of the creama, wider at the top to release and amplify the aromas and with a well-proportioned handle to facilitate a firm grip without any inconvenience.
Each cup, of course, must be accompanied by the right saucer, which serves to collect any drops of coffee spilled and to support the spoon. The important thing is that each cup has the right properties. The best espresso cups are those made of thick glazed ceramic, perfect because they do not alter the taste of the coffee and because they maintain the optimal temperature of the contained drink for as long as possible.
Each coffee cup can contain from 40 to 50 ml of beverage: the ideal size if we keep in mind that the classic espresso is only 25 ml. The extra space serves to prevent the coffee from spilling out when the spoon is dipped or when a larger quantity of drink is poured, for example for a long coffee or a macchiato.
There are several ways to drink coffee. There are those who prefer a small espresso, those who prefer to stretch it with a little milk or boiling water, those who enjoy it bitter and those who need sugar. Coffee is love, and we know that the heart is not in command, so everyone has the freedom to taste it as they wish. Coffee cups are also designed to meet different needs.
They can be larger, smaller, colorful, white, decorated, round, or square. The important thing is that the character of each cup reflects the personality and character of the person who uses it. A set of new coffee cups is the ideal gift, for yourself or for friends and relatives who love coffee. We must not underestimate the value that a new service can bring to our tables. From the beautiful, understated, soft, rounded lines of the classic cup to the more extravagant lines of modern cups, a new set can add that touch of originality, art and color that our kitchen needs.
It can break the monotony and renew the coffee experience. It can finally replace the old set of which we do not even have all the pieces anymore. In conclusion, we can say that having the perfect cup brings advantages in many ways: it will make your coffee break more enjoyable, decorate and complete your kitchen and capture the attention of your guests.

Have you ever asked yourself how these porcelain cups are made? Why are they different from other cups? What raw materials are these cups made of? We would like to answer these and other questions in the following text. The origin of porcelain production: For the production of porcelain espresso or cappuccino cups, three main components are used: kaolin, quartz, and feldspar.
It consists of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, and also silica. Depending on the country of production and the cultivation area, different amounts of "impurities" are contained. From a chemical point of view, quartz is silicon doxide. In rural areas, quartz is also known as quartz sand, which is used to produce porcelain and ceramics as well as for the cement and glass industry. Glass espresso cups provide you with a wonderful show when pouring your coffee, and great view once the espresso has been poured.
However, the downside with glass espresso cups is that they are not great at retaining heat. How important this is comes down to a matter of personal preference.
Double wall glass espresso cups have the elegant translucency of regular glass espresso cups, while having much greater heat retention capabilities, making them perfect for enjoying a shot of hot espresso. Double wall glass espresso cups are also much lighter than ones made of ceramic, making for a pleasant cup to hold. The Sorrento collection by Zwilling includes several double wall glass designs, including some lovely espresso glasses that can be bought in a pack of two.
The glasses also feature a design that is rounded inside, making them perfect for espresso. Warm your cups before pouring your coffee into them. Doing so will keep your espresso warm for even longer than the heat retention of the cups would normally allow. This can be done by putting them in hot water, or alternatively by filling them with water and heating them in the microwave.
But remember to pay close attention to the manufacturer's care instructions, and make sure that you coffe mugs or cups are safe for use in the microwave. Caution: Make sure that there is water in your cups when heating them in the microwave, as otherwise they might break.
