Custom Espresso Cups and Saucers for Coffee Service
SMLS can provide ceramic espresso cups and coordinated cup-and-saucer sets for cafes, restaurants, hotels, hospitality projects, retail collections and branded coffee-service programs.
Depending on the selected product, a project can focus on cups alone or a coordinated cup-and-saucer configuration.
Confirm the Cup and Saucer as a Set
For cup-and-saucer projects, buyers should confirm both pieces together rather than treating the saucer as an afterthought.
Important details include:
- cup shape
- approximate cup capacity
- handle style
- saucer shape
- how the cup sits on the saucer
- logo or artwork position
- required quantity
- packaging format
Exact dimensions and capacity depend on the selected style and are confirmed before sampling or quotation.
Branding and Decoration
Customer colors, logos and artwork can be customized.
Depending on the selected ceramic product, decoration options may include:
- decal printing
- screen printing
- laser engraving
- embossed logos
- metallic or gold effects
For cafe and hospitality programs, buyers should consider how the decoration will be used and washed.
If dishwasher performance is important, it should be confirmed as a project requirement before bulk production.
Hospitality and Retail Applications
Espresso cup projects may be developed for:
- cafes
- restaurants
- hotels
- hospitality groups
- branded coffee programs
- retail gift sets
The same product may require different packaging or decoration depending on whether it will be used in foodservice or sold as a retail set.
What to Confirm Before Sampling
Provide:
- preferred cup style
- whether a saucer is required
- approximate capacity requirement
- logo or artwork
- color direction
- target quantity
- packaging requirements
- intended use
- dishwasher or microwave requirements if applicable
These items should be confirmed before the final sample is approved.

Custom-logo packaging can be arranged depending on the project.
MOQ generally starts from 1,000 pcs.
