Ceramic clay · Two-tone glaze · Speckled white · 6.4 oz
A two-toned ceramic espresso cup. White outside, brown inside, or the inverse, depending on the angle. The Wabi Espresso is a small object that reads two different ways from across the table.
The Wabi Espresso Cup is a handcrafted ceramic cup with a two-tone design, smooth speckled white glaze on the upper half, horizontal ridge texture on the natural brown clay base. The 6.4 oz capacity fits a double espresso, a cortado, or a small tea pour.
Two tones. One sip.

Care & maintenance
Ceramic is forgiving, but the speckled glaze shows stains if coffee sits too long.
- Rinse after use: Coffee oils stain white glaze over time. A quick rinse prevents buildup, especially around the rim.
- Dishwasher safe: Top rack is gentler. The brown clay texture is unglazed and can absorb detergent odor if exposed too often to harsh cycles.
- Stain removal: Baking soda paste on a damp cloth lifts coffee rings from the white glaze without scratching.
- Thermal shock: Avoid pouring boiling water into a cold cup straight from the fridge. Ceramic can crack from sudden temperature shifts.
Frequently asked
What does 6.4 oz hold in practical terms?
A double espresso is about 2 oz, a cortado around 4.5 oz, a macchiato 3 oz. This cup comfortably holds any of those with room to spare. It also works for loose-leaf tea or a short filter brew.
Why is the brown section textured?
The horizontal ridges are carved into the clay before firing. They provide grip and visual contrast against the smooth white glaze. The texture also hides fingerprints better than a fully glazed surface.
Is each cup identical?
No. Handcrafted ceramic varies slightly in glaze pattern, speckle density, and ridge depth. The shape and capacity are consistent, but each cup carries its own fingerprint.
Can I use it for hot and cold drinks?
Yes. The ceramic holds temperature well, hot espresso stays warm for about 10 minutes, iced tea stays cold for longer. Just avoid drastic temperature swings (boiling water into a frozen cup, for example).
Does the unglazed brown clay absorb flavors?
Minimally. The clay is fired at high temperature, which seals most of the porosity. Coffee oils can darken the brown section over time, but they do not transfer taste. A light scrub with dish soap keeps it neutral.
