Egg Espresso Cup & Saucer

Name: Egg Espresso Cup & Saucer
Brand: Loveramics

Porcelain fired at 1300°C with unusually thick walls; an independent tester credits that mass with keeping heat inside the cup. Three-finger handle suits the weight but reads bulky next to thin china.

WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price buys unusually high-temperature-fired, commercial-oriented porcelain rather than decoration: 1300°C firing, thick walls, a functional round base, and broad appliance-safe care. Independent cup testing specifically credits its thick walls and well-proportioned handle.

MATERIALS

Cup bodyHigh-fired porcelain (1300°C)

Dense, low-absorption ceramic supplies useful thermal mass and withstands repeated washing better than ordinary thin earthenware.

GlazeHand-dipped glaze

Food-contact surface is easy to clean, though small glaze variation is normal.

CRITERIA

9/10

Thermal retention

Thick 1300°C-fired porcelain; independent review says the very thick walls keep heat inside.

9/10

Cup geometry

80 ml is right for a double; rounded base is designed to manage flow/crema.

8/10

Rim & sip

Purposeful, substantial rim; not a thin-china sensation.

9/10

Durability

High-fired commercial porcelain; microwave, dishwasher, freezer and oven safe.

8/10

Grip & stability

Independent review found the proportional handle works well with a three-finger grip.

9/10

Storage & care

Dishwasher/microwave/freezer/oven safe.

8/10

Aesthetic flexibility

Round white or colored interior frames crema; equally credible at home or café.

IDEAL FOR

·Double espresso
·Daily dishwasher users
·Café-style service

NOT FOR

·People wanting an ultralight cup
·Those intolerant of handmade glaze variation

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Rounded bowl keeps a short shot visually centered; the thick, tactile form is handsome and stable. The three-finger-oriented handle suits the cup’s weight but will feel bulky to people seeking delicate china.

LONGEVITY

High-fired commercial porcelain should give many years of home service; no replaceable parts, but it is less prone to absorption/crazing than low-fired ceramic.
