Cups — Espresso, Cappuccino & Latte Art

Buy Cups for Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Art Switzerland

The right cup is more than just a container – it's part of the cup choreography: the shape influences how the crema stands and how the aromas develop on the palate. The wall thickness determines temperature stability (thick-walled keeps warm longer). The interior color makes latte art patterns visible (classic white) or subtly contrasts (anthracite, black). And the material affects both warmth and design – ceramic is classic, double-walled glass is modern and temperature-protective.

Coffee Coaching Club carries around 25 active cups from ten brands: Loveramics Egg series as a specialty standard for cappuccino/latte/espresso, stylish pieces from La Marzocco, Rocket and MHW-3BOMBER, plus modern double-walled glasses from Varia SIP and Acaia.

The Brands in the Cluster

Which cup for which beverage

Cup Volume and Espresso Brew – the Right Size

Espresso Cups 60–80 ml: for classic espresso (25–35 ml) or doppio (40–60 ml). The cup should have clear crema headspace – not too narrow (crema breaks), not too wide (crema spreads too thin).

Cappuccino Cups 150–200 ml: 25–30 ml espresso + 100–150 ml frothed milk. Important for Latte Art: the cup should be deliberately conical towards the top, with some crema retention at the upper rim.

Flat White Cups 180–200 ml: similar to cappuccino, but with a stronger espresso ratio and less microfoam. The Loveramics Egg 200 ml is the standard choice.

Latte Macchiato Glasses or Cups 280–300 ml: for longer milk beverages. Here, transparent latte macchiato glasses dominate, where the espresso-milk layers remain visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Loveramics Egg – why is it so popular in specialty coffee?

Three reasons: (1) Ergonomics – the Egg shape fits perfectly in the hand, the handle is the right size for one finger plus thumb. (2) Crema Tension – the oval base shape preserves crema longer and displays it better. (3) Specialty Standard – in almost every third wave cafe worldwide, you'll see the Egg cup. For CHF 16–29 per cup, you get a superbly well-thought-out shape.

80 ml Espresso or 120 ml Espresso cup?

80 ml (Loveramics Egg 80 ml): for classic single-shot 25–30 ml with clear crema presentation. The standard format for specialty espresso. 120 ml (MHW-3BOMBER Winter, Acaia Double-Insulated): for doppio (40–60 ml) or longer brews, also for Italians as a "Caffè lungo" cup.

Cappuccino cup 200 ml or Latte 250–300 ml?

Classic Cappuccino: 25–30 ml espresso + 130–150 ml frothed milk = 200 ml cup. Flat White: similar cup, slightly more espresso, less foam. Cafè Latte: 30–40 ml espresso + 200 ml frothed milk = 250 ml. Latte Macchiato: longest brew type with clear layer separation, 280–300 ml in a glass.

Double-walled or classic ceramic?

Double-walled glass (Varia SIP CHF 15.95, MHW-3BOMBER CHF 32.95, Acaia CHF 44.95): keeps temperature longer, safe to touch on the outside, modern. Classic ceramic (Loveramics, La Marzocco, Rocket, MHW-3BOMBER): classic shape, warmer to the touch, suitable for latte art with white interior. Both have their merits. For specialty with latte art: ceramic. For modern homes with design demands: double-walled glass.

La Marzocco or Rocket cups?

Brand consistency with your machine. La Marzocco sets (Linea Micra CHF 39.95, Linea Mini, Standard 6-piece CHF 79.95): matching the La Marzocco design language (Linea Mini R, Linea Micra, GS3). Rocket sets (Cappuccino or Flat White 6-piece CHF 79.25): matching the Rocket design language (Appartamento, Mozzafiato, R Cinquantotto). Both are high-quality functionally.

Which cup for Latte Art?

Ideal: white interior color (shows the foam pattern), conical towards the top (holds the foam pattern at the top), slight belly rim (clean pour line). Best choice: Loveramics Egg 200 ml Cappuccino/Flat White (CHF 24.95). Additionally, the La Marzocco Cappuccino Cup Set Linea Micra (CHF 45.95) also works excellently.

Do I need different cups for different brews?

For specialty demands: yes. Espresso needs 60–80 ml cups, cappuccino 200 ml, latte 250–300 ml. A standard "all-purpose mug" with 250 ml washes out the optimal aroma of any brew. For classic home setups, 2–3 cup types are sufficient.

Are Acaia and Varia SIP double-walled worth it?

For home use with design demands and longer enjoyment of the brew: yes. Acaia Double-Insulated Cup (CHF 44.95) is premium engineering with clear design demands, fitting the Acaia Pearl S / Lunar. Varia SIP Double-Walled Glasses (CHF 15.95) are the more accessible alternative with similar functional demands. For café volume or exclusively cappuccino: classic ceramic is enough.

Can I test cups before buying?

Yes, in the showrooms in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. You can feel the wall thickness, ergonomics, and crema behavior directly. For latte art setups, we also test directly with microfoam from the showroom setup.
