How to Choose a CCCLAY Cup for Black Coffee and Milk Coffee

Choose a CCCLAY cup by the drink you serve, the listed capacity and the rim or bowl shape you want to explore. The best choice depends on your recipe and your own tasting preferences.

For cortado and small milk coffees

• The Cortado Cup has a listed capacity of 150 ml and a rounded base designed for combining coffee and milk.
• Match your espresso and milk recipe to the cup; listed capacity is not a prescribed recipe.

For black coffee and everyday tasting

• Sensory Cups come in 150 ml and 290 ml sizes, with an angled rim and straighter body profile.
• Aroma Cups come in 180 ml and 340 ml sizes, with a wine-glass-inspired bowl and an extended rim.
• Choose the volume that suits your serving size and the shape that feels comfortable to you.

For exploring cup geometry

• Competition Cups have a listed capacity of 240 ml and pronounced curvature for focused tasting.
• Tilt Cups have thick and thin sipping sides, allowing you to explore two rim experiences with the same coffee. Check the individual product for capacity.
• When comparing cups, keep the coffee recipe and serving conditions consistent. Any sensory observations are specific to the drink, cup and taster.

For a six-shape set

Each CCCLAY Coffee Cup Set contains one Medium Sensory 150 ml, Large Sensory 290 ml, Large Aroma 340 ml, Small Aroma 180 ml, Competition 240 ml and Cortado 150 ml cup.
