Ceramic and Glass Coffee Cups: Choosing for Your Routine

Material alone does not establish which coffee cup will last longer. Compare the actual product’s construction, finish and care instructions with the way you plan to use it.

Compare the actual cup

Check listed capacity, rim shape, handle design and available dimensions.
Look for product-specific care instructions; do not assume every ceramic or glass cup can be cleaned in the same way.
Treat clear glass, coloured glass, glazed porcelain and decorated finishes as distinct products with their own specifications.

What CCCLAY specifies for its porcelain

CCCLAY porcelain is made from an exclusive blend of premium kaolin sourced from Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, China. The blend is formulated to meet the functional requirements of each cup design.

The porcelain body and glazes made from natural mineral raw materials are fired at 1,220°C or higher, forming a durable glazed surface with a glossy or matte finish.

Choose by serving use

For small milk coffees, explore 150 ml Cortado Cups.
For black coffee, compare Sensory Cups and Aroma Cups.
Use the CCCLAY cup selection guide for the differences between CCCLAY shapes.

Care according to the finish

CCCLAY ceramic cups are dishwasher safe unless they have natural lacquer (urushi) or precious-metal decoration, including gold or silver rims. Hand wash these special finishes and follow their product-specific care instructions.

Use a soft cloth and avoid steel wool or abrasive pads. Read CCCLAY Product Care.
