DavecUK hornbyben It’s purely aesthetic, but gives a bit more depth. Here’s a link to my favourite of the few I bought: Is this like Flip Flop (a custom car paint), or Two Tone Tonics (trousers), because initially I thought it was colour changing due to temperature or something?
hornbyben It doesn’t really change like flip flop. It’s more like there are flecs deeper in the glaze rather than just being colour on the surface.
Waitforme Depends on what drink I’m having. From left to right below it’s espresso, cortado, americano, flat white.
Baldrick My OH bought me these (it was my birthday yesterday) I normally don’t like people getting me stuff for my hobbies as I’m very particular, which sure a lot of you can relate to 😁 Happened to go for a coffee together recently and we were served in loveramics cups. Both of us commented on how nice they were to drink out of. She was really worried about the flat white cups not matching (due to stock issues) but actually I think it’s a really nice having the different colours now that I’ve seen them. I certainly wouldn’t have bought them mis matched but I’m pleased she did!
IntoxNitram Recently purchased these which I use for a range of different purposes: They are all good quality and from Waitrose. Find they are a good size and feel so use them a lot.. I do want to purchase some glass mugs soon as well though.
Ernie1 Acme tulip cups for the nostalgia around going to East London coffee shops in the early 2010s and practically all of them using Acme cups. I’d wanted some for ages and at the time seemed like they were only available commercially, and then completely by chance seeing a load on clearance in Liberty so I bought about eight sets!
Mark-drinks-coffee Inspired by this thread I’ve been trying to find some new favourite cups but there doesn’t seem to be many available anywhere. Loveramics seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere. Does anyone have any favourite websites/ suppliers I should check out please? Mainly looking for 150 and 180ml cups (for cortados and flat whites)
Baldrick Mark-drinks-coffee https://www.bestcoffee.guide/collections/loveramics This is where I got mine from, but as you’ve said stock can be an issue. They are lovely cups though and worth the struggle!
Ernie1 Acme cups These are the ACME ones I have. They’re slightly thicker walled than the Loveramics ones, but otherwise very similar in design. As mentioned above I got them in Liberty in London many years ago but it looks like they’re available online now.
Mark-drinks-coffee Ernie1 As mentioned above I got them in Liberty in London many years ago but it looks like they’re available online now. They look great! Hmm, looks like they don’t ship to the UK from their EU shop. Unless I’m missing something obvious (very possible!)
Ernie1 Yeah they’ve never been the easiest things to get hold over here for some reason. I just did a quick Google and it looks like there’s a few commercial hospitality stockists selling them, but they’re only available in packs of 6. Not bad if you actually want 6!
