Choosing the right vessel for your morning coffee is more than a practical choice—it is a daily ritual. If you have been eyeing our Shino-yaki Ceramic Drip Coffee Cup 170ml, you might have a few questions about its design, capacity, and care. Here, we answer the most frequently asked questions to help you decide if this retro-inspired cup is the perfect fit for your home cafe.
What is Shino-yaki and why is each cup unique?
Shino-yaki is a traditional Japanese style of pottery known for its textured, milky-white glazes and rustic charm. Our cup features a kiln-turned retro design, meaning the glaze reacts dynamically to the heat of the kiln. This process ensures that no two cups are exactly alike, giving you a truly one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.
Is 170ml the right size for my coffee routine?
At 170ml (approximately 5.7 oz), this cup is specifically designed for concentrated coffee tasting. It is the ideal size for:
- Single or double shots of espresso
- Cortados and macchiatos
- Small pour-over drip coffee tasting
- Practicing precise latte art
If you prefer large, oversized mugs, this might feel small. But if you appreciate the concentrated aromas and temperature control of a smaller pour, the 170ml capacity is perfect.
Can this cup be used for outdoor activities?
Yes! While it looks delicate and artistic, the high-quality ceramic crafted in Quanzhou is highly durable. The ergonomic, hand-held design makes it easy to hold, whether you are sitting at your office desk, relaxing at home, or enjoying a brew outdoors.
How do I care for my Shino-yaki cup?
To preserve the unique kiln-turned glaze, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could dull the textured finish over time.
