Full details
The Nicola Spring Hand-Printed Espresso Cup & Saucer Set is an ideal choice for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate vintage aesthetics and artisanal craftsmanship in their home kitchen.

FAQs
Are these cups lead-free?
Yes, Nicola Spring products are crafted with food-safe materials suitable for everyday consumption.
Can I use these for tea?
While intended for espresso due to their size, they can be used for small servings of tea or other hot beverages.
What is the exact capacity of the cup?
The cup is designed specifically for standard espresso shots, which typically range between 40-60ml.
Is the floral pattern durable?
Yes, the patterns are applied and fired to be resilient; however, avoiding abrasive scouring pads will keep the designs looking fresh.
Does the set come with a gift box?
The set is delivered securely, but please check your retailer-specific packaging options for gift-ready wrapping.
Troubleshooting
Pattern appears slightly different on each cup
This is a normal feature of the hand-printing process and indicates the artisanal nature of the product.
Cup feels too hot to touch after microwave use
Reduce microwave power settings or decrease the heating time, as ceramic retains heat effectively.
Water spots after dishwasher cycle
Use a standard rinse aid and ensure the items are placed at an angle in the rack to allow water to drain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, it is recommended to wash the cups and saucers in warm soapy water. When using in a dishwasher, place the items in the top rack to ensure they remain stable. While microwave safe, avoid thermal shock by not transitioning the cups directly from a freezing environment to a high-heat microwave setting. Store the set in a cool, dry place, and when stacking, use a soft protective cloth between the pieces to prevent scratches on the hand-printed surfaces over time.
