1. Pre-warm each cup with hot water so the shot holds its temperature longer.
2. Load on the top rack, away from heavy pans.
3. Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as going straight from fridge to microwave.
4. Choose a soft sponge over abrasive scourers to keep the glaze glossy.
5. Store upright, or with a cloth between stacked pieces, to protect the rims.

• Espresso drinkers tired of shots disappearing into oversized mugs

A carefully made espresso loses its charm in a bulky mug or a plain, mass-produced cup. This pair gives each shot the right proportions and a cheerful, artisan look, turning a two-minute break into something to look forward to. Beautifully boxed yet tough enough for every morning, it's a present that earns a spot on the counter, not the back of a cupboard.

They sit at the larger end of espresso cup sizes, so they suit a single, a double, a cortado or a small Turkish coffee.

Their compact height fits beneath many espresso and capsule machine spouts. Check your machine's clearance if it has a raised drip tray.

Yes, both, making them easy to use and clean every day.

The stripes are applied with an artist's brush, so spacing and line weight vary a little. That variation is what makes your pair one of a kind.

No. The set contains two cups in a Caroline Gardner presentation box.

Something they'll reach for every morning. A matched, well-made pair like this arrives boxed, so it's ready for birthdays, housewarmings or Eid without extra wrapping.

Orders placed before 5pm within Kuwait are delivered the same day. For Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, delivery usually takes 10–15 days.
