A good espresso starts with good beans and a good brew, but the cup matters too.

The NICHBA espresso cup is created for anyone who wants a minimalist, modern design without giving up everyday functionality. This cup is built to deliver a better espresso moment whether you're drinking at home, at work, or on the go.

What makes this small espresso cup unique?
The NICHBA small espresso cup is made from polished stainless steel and measures Ø7 cm x 5 cm in height.

Here are some of the key features:
- Double-wall thermal design that retains heat
- Polished stainless steel built to last for years
- Durable, break-resistant, and ideal for everyday use
- Lightweight and pleasant to hold
- Fits both modern and classic kitchen setups
- Perfect size for a standard espresso shot
The benefits of a stainless steel espresso cup
Most people think of porcelain or glass when they think of espresso cups, but stainless steel brings real, practical advantages that shine in daily use.
Advantages of stainless steel
- Durability
Steel handles bumps and drops far better than porcelain or glass. It gives you a reusable espresso cup you can rely on for many years. - Temperature control
The double-wall construction keeps your espresso warm longer, giving you more time to enjoy the flavor without it cooling too fast. - Hygiene
Stainless steel doesn’t absorb colors, flavors, or odors. It stays clean, is easy to wash, and is ideal for daily coffee drinking. - Minimalist look
The polished metal gives a clean, modern expression that fits perfectly with contemporary interiors and the rest of NICHBA's designs.
What can you use the small espresso cup for?
Even though it's designed as a classic espresso cup, the use cases go far beyond a simple single shot.
Use the cup for:
- Espresso shots
- Doppio
- Cortado (smaller portions)
- Small servings of tea or herbal tea
- Mini desserts like mousse or affogato
- Tasting samples for events or guests
The cup also works as a small decorative item in the kitchen, especially if you place several together.
Double-wall construction - why does it matter?
A double-wall reusable espresso cup traps a layer of air between the inner and outer steel surfaces. This improves insulation and keeps heat stable. That means:
- Your espresso stays hot longer
- The outside stays cool and comfortable to hold
- You get better balance between heat, aroma, and texture
This matters even more for espresso, which cools quickly in traditional cups.
Designed for espresso lovers
This small espresso cup is made for people who care about their coffee ritual. It's meant to be part of the experience, not fade into the background. That includes:
- The feeling in your hand
- How the espresso looks inside a polished steel cup
- How long the temperature stays stable
- How the material influences the overall experience
Stainless steel has a clean and modern character that fits perfectly with minimalist interiors. It's also practical: it won’t break, stain, or become dull over time, and it’s easy to keep clean.
Comparison: steel, glass, or porcelain
Here’s a clear comparison of the most common materials used for espresso cups:
