Product Information

Full details

This Seletti 'Meltdown' Coffee Cup, Saucer and Spoon Set is designed for individuals who appreciate unique, art-inspired tableware and enjoy a touch of playful rebellion with their traditional tea or coffee rituals. Its key benefit is transforming a daily ritual into a statement piece with its distinctive, intentionally imperfect design and luxurious gold accents. A potential caveat is that its unconventional aesthetic may not suit minimalist decor or those seeking perfectly symmetrical tableware.

It is not recommended to put this set in the dishwasher due to the gold-tone trims, which can be damaged by harsh detergents and high heat. Handwashing is advised.

Is the asymmetry of the design intentional?

Troubleshooting

Gold trim appears faded or damaged

This is likely due to improper washing (e.g., dishwasher use, abrasive cleaners). Cease using harsh methods and handwash gently. Minor fading may be irreversible if the gold layer has been significantly worn.

Cup or saucer has a slight wobble

The 'Meltdown' series is intentionally designed with asymmetric, misshapen silhouettes. A slight wobble is part of the artistic aesthetic and does not affect functionality unless extreme.

Stains inside the cup

For stubborn tea or coffee stains, create a paste of baking soda and water. Gently rub the paste onto the stain with a soft cloth, rinse thoroughly, and handwash as usual.

  • Celebrates a blend of British cultural icons (raves and tea).

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The cups, saucers, and spoons are designed for serving hot beverages such as coffee, tea, or espresso. They are compatible with most standard saucers and coffee machines for brewing.

Care Instructions:

  • Handwash Recommended: Due to the delicate gold-tone trims, it is strongly recommended to handwash all pieces with mild soap and warm water.
  • Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring pads, as these can damage the porcelain and the gold finish.
  • Dishwasher Caution: While some porcelain is dishwasher safe, the gold edging on this 'Meltdown' set may degrade or chip over time in a dishwasher. Handwashing is the safest option for long-term preservation.
