Coffee Cup Set Buyer’s Guide
The UK shows no sign of losing its love affair with coffee culture, and there’s an endless number of coffee cup sets to choose from.
Whether you drink coffee with your friends, or at a dinner party, a set of coffee cups is an essential addition to your kitchen cupboard.
Unsure of what to look for when it comes to the best coffee cup sets? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Material
Porcelain is the ideal choice.
Delicate porcelain can be prone to chips and cracks, so opt for vitrified porcelain which is treated to increase its strength and durability. Vitrified porcelain will be strong without being heavy.
Thicker walled porcelain will keep your coffee hotter for longer.
Design
Design is determined by the intended type of coffee, so there are cup and saucer sets for Americanos, Espressos and Cappuccinos.
Sometimes online images can be enlarged and mislead you. Make sure you check out the sizing details carefully to avoid disappointment.
Look out for an offset cup and saucer if you want the space to add a teaspoon, or a sweet treat or biscuit.
Items in Set
Set sizes vary from 4 to 24, or even more. You can always buy two or three of the same set for large groups and for spares if some items break!
Remember that some sets will count matching teaspoons as an item. For example, a 12-piece coffee set may only contain 4 cups and 4 saucers, as the remaining 4 items are the teaspoons.
