Terra Keramik Cups

Some people just won’t be into these cups… and I’d recommend that only a select few should buy them. They’re not for majority of the coffeeshops out there. Rather, Terra Keramik cups are for the crazies who can’t fall asleep at night because they’re obsessing about their demitasse thickness in relation to espresso temperature. Or worrying about what cup color will best show off the espresso’s crema. If you’re one of the people that thinks about these things, welcome.

Terra Keramik cups are sick. Weighing 25% more than my (already heavy) Nouva Point cups, these cups have the heft to hold onto heat and provide a sturdy feel. Hand crafted in Switzerland, the attention to detail in these cups reflects the attention to detail I hope to give to the coffee. Handwritten on every cup and saucer is ‘Terra’ with a unique brush stroke. Oh and that handle you’re holding… it’s dipped in platinum. To what platinum grills are to rappers, Terra Keramik cups are to baristas.

As I mentioned, these cups aren’t for everyone. They’re not cheap, and for good reason. Between the techniques, materials, and passion to produce these cups, these cups come at a cost. But a cost that I think is well worth it and will serve me in many competitions and hopefully for years to come. Anytime I’ll be serving a drink in competition or preparing an espresso or latte for a friend at home, it’ll be in a Terra cup.
