Small Cup. Big Ritual.
The espresso cup is one of the most quietly radical objects in daily life. At 51–100ml, it holds just enough — enough to slow you down, enough to make you pay attention, enough to turn a moment into a ritual. This 6-piece set of handmade ceramic retro espresso cups with wooden handles does exactly that, and does it beautifully.
The wooden handle is the detail that sets these cups apart. Where most espresso cups are purely ceramic, the addition of a turned wooden handle brings warmth, texture, and a handcrafted quality that feels deeply considered. It's a design choice rooted in the Japanese and Scandinavian tradition of pairing natural materials — the cool smoothness of ceramic against the warm grain of wood — to create objects that feel alive in the hand.
The retro ceramic form is equally thoughtful — slightly irregular, tactile, and full of character in the way that only handmade pieces can be. Available in two colours: a deep, moody Black for those who prefer a darker aesthetic, and a soft, earthy Green for those drawn to more natural, organic tones. Both are beautiful. Both are intentional.
Presented in a gift box, this set is as ready to give as it is to keep. Whether it's for espresso, ristretto, a small pour of matcha, or a shot of something stronger, these cups make the act of drinking feel like something worth doing slowly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pair ceramic with a wooden handle?
The combination of ceramic and wood has deep roots in Japanese craft philosophy — specifically the concept of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in natural imperfection and the honest use of materials. Ceramic is cool, smooth, and mineral; wood is warm, grainy, and organic. Together, they create an object that engages multiple senses at once — the weight of the cup, the warmth of the handle, the sound of ceramic on a wooden surface. It's a small detail that transforms an everyday object into something you actually want to reach for.
Can these cups be used for drinks other than espresso?
Absolutely. The 51–100ml size makes these cups ideal for any small, concentrated pour — espresso, ristretto, a shot of cold brew, a small pour of matcha, Chinese tea, or even a measure of whisky or digestif. The handmade ceramic is flavour-neutral and won't affect the taste of whatever you're drinking. Many customers use them as their everyday small cup for any ritual that deserves a beautiful vessel.
