Troubleshooting
Cup feels unusually cold after pouring espresso
Ensure the cup was at room temperature or slightly warmed before pouring. Pre-warming the cup with hot water can help retain heat longer.
Minor staining on the inside of the cup
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, gently rub the stained area, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
