Troubleshooting
Cup gets too hot to hold
Hold the cup by the upper rim or allow it to sit for 30 seconds after pouring, as the ceramic body retains heat efficiently.
Coffee cools down too quickly
Pre-heat the cup with hot water or a microwave cycle prior to brewing to ensure the ceramic is warm before the espresso enters.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No formal setup is required for this product; simply rinse the cup before its first use to remove any packaging residue. Regarding compatibility, the 65ml size fits virtually all standard espresso machine portafilters and automated spouts.
For long-term care:
- Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, placing the cup on the top rack will prevent accidental impact with other heavier dishes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid stacking too many heavy items directly on top of the ceramic to prevent cracking.
- Handling: While durable, treat as you would any ceramic drinkware; avoid sudden extreme temperature shifts (like moving from a freezer directly to a boiling machine) to prevent thermal shock.
