POLSPOTTEN x La Marzocco Espresso Cup Set Polygon – 4-Piece
A small sip, a brief moment – and already the cup it comes from can give that moment a colour. Four espresso cups, four colours, each with a faceted outer wall that breaks the light before any espresso even flows in.
The angular shape is a nod to the past: it picks up the silhouette of the first La Marzocco espresso machines from 1927, with their distinctive twelve-sided housing. The set was created in collaboration with POLSPOTTEN, the Amsterdam design house known for bold colours and idiosyncratic objects. Each cup is handcrafted from glossy glazed porcelain with a speckled surface – no two pieces are ever quite alike. The four colours are matched to the Linea Mini and Linea Micra, but they work with any machine.
Heat receptors in the fingertips, the weight of the cup, the colour the eye notices first: all of this shapes how an espresso is experienced before the tongue even reaches it. Design and feel influence enjoyment before the first sip – that's not a claim, it's measurable.
Nobody needs an espresso cup in a Polygon design – any 100 ml vessel technically serves the same purpose. Whoever wants this set wants something else: a small, colourful expression on their own counter. That's an emotional decision, and our opinion on it is just one of many.

Roastery Tip
For a dense, aromatic espresso we recommend, for the great majority, Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight from our own roastery. Anyone looking for maximum body with no acidity at all will find it in Very Nutty. For anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience for a change, Wild Peach is worth trying. That's our recommendation – one of many.
