Maurizio's espresso cup is for real coffee. Terracotta, with a small handle and a thick rim: it feels different in your hand from any other.
 
In Calabria coffee is a daily ritual. It's made strong, served hot and drunk without hurry, even when time is short. Terracotta keeps the heat longer than ordinary ceramics, so the coffee doesn't cool straight away. There's still time to drink it properly.
 
Handmade by Maurizio in Altomonte, on a kick wheel. The shape is classic, the rim thick, the glaze applied by hand before firing. Small variations from one cup to the next are natural.
 
Use it every morning, after lunch, when guests arrive. For coffee made the right way.
 
A cup that changes your coffee. Hold it once and you'll understand.
