NotNeutral cups, anyone tried?

Ernie1

I see these in pictures whenever I see American roasters/shops, I think because they’re made there.

I like the design, but wondered if they’re actually any good (size and insulation). North Star sell them so might indulge.

Have a few Acme and Loveramics which are great but as ever there’s always something coffee related to buy.

We really enjoy them…they look a bit different/special, and the ergonomics are great. Have cappuccino and latte….but I think we use the mugs most, which we really like.

I have the cappuccino cups. As cups go they’re OK, good thickness and don’t cool too quickly.
I prefer the loveramics tho.

The cups are quite nice, I do think the handle is the most ergonomic and can help keep the handle aligned for pouring latte art. But again compared to loveramics or acme they are very similar. The glasses do interest me, haven’t had any hands on with them

I think they’re made in South Africa. I have a few and like them.

Nice, thanks everyone good to hear!

I have some. They’re OK, but the rims are a tad thick. This is not bone china …. But its as much as I was prepared to spend.

Nice but Acme are still the daddy for me.

I like the big flat handle, gives the thumb something to stabilise the cup with.

Ernie1 How did you find them in the end ? I am on the hunt for a couple of cups etc.

They’re really great, especially the larger mugs for a nice big morning filter coffee/Americano.

In addition to the nice shape with the ‘thumb rest’ I really like the finish of them which looks a bit more matte than the familiar high-glaze of the Acme cups we have.

Ernie1 Right time to browse the inter webs and treat myself to a couple….. thanks

I bought ours from here. Good selection and quick delivery. Most importantly, very well packaged!

Wow Northstar were quick - a huge box turned up Saturday morning! Love the glassware - picked up one 6oz to try out in the smoked glass.

ooglewoogle Just getting the milk right with a nanofoamer is first on the list… otherwise any attempt at latte art is more like puffy blobs
