Every detail matters in a well-crafted cup of coffee — from the beans to the brew method, and yes, even the cup you drink it from. While it may seem like a minor decision, choosing between ceramic and glass coffee cups shapes your sensory experience in unexpected ways.
Here’s a breakdown to help you choose the cup that best reflects your style, needs, and daily rhythm.
Ceramic Cups: Familiar, Comforting, Timeless
Ceramic has long been the traditional choice — and for good reason.
Key Benefits:
-
Retains heat longer
-
Offers a weighted, grounded feel
-
Comes in textured finishes that elevate touch and visual warmth
-
Ideal for espresso, Turkish coffee, or a quiet early-morning brew
Ceramic feels personal. It invites you to slow down — like the quiet of a weekend morning or a post-lunch coffee on the balcony in the Lebanese sun.
Double-Walled Glass Cups: Modern, Functional, Elevated
Double-walled glass is as much about design as it is about performance.
Key Benefits:
-
Provides excellent insulation while remaining cool to the touch
-
Visually showcases the layers of your brew — from crema to froth
-
Lightweight, balanced, and ideal for showcasing iced or milk-based drinks
-
Dishwasher safe and resistant to thermal shock
Glass cups are for those who value clarity and precision — whether you’re presenting a layered iced latte or a pour-over with visible depth.

A Lebanese Touchpoint
In many Lebanese households, ceramic cups evoke memories — of morning rituals, small gatherings, and the distinct sound of a demitasse resting on its saucer. Glass, on the other hand, speaks to a new generation of coffee drinkers — those who blend heritage with a minimalist, global lifestyle.
Coffee&Co. Perspective
There’s no right or wrong choice — only what suits your personal ritual. Many of our customers end up choosing both: ceramic for slower moments, glass for the visual expression of a perfect brew.
We design our cups with that flexibility in mind — so you can curate your collection based on how coffee fits into your day.
