Troubleshooting
Cup feels too small.
This cup is specifically designed for espresso volume (80 ml). For larger coffee drinks, consider a larger mug or cup.
Coffee cools down too quickly.
Pre-warm the cup with hot water before brewing your espresso. Porcelain retains heat well, but initial temperature matters.
Saucer is unstable.
Ensure the cup is placed centrally on the saucer and the saucer is on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
