cappuccino cup

Foamy coffee holder

A cappuccino cup is a wide, shallow cup designed specifically for cappuccino, typically holding 5-6 ounces.

The broad surface area accommodates the drink's signature foam layer and allows for latte art, while the shape helps maintain temperature.

Cappuccino cups are usually made of thick porcelain to retain heat: She served the espresso in a demitasse but reached for a cappuccino cup for mine.
