coffee-cup

Morning brew holder

A coffee-cup is a cup designed for drinking coffee, typically with a handle and often paired with a saucer.

Coffee-cups tend to be smaller than mugs and are associated with more formal service, as at restaurants or in traditional table settings.

The term sometimes appears hyphenated as a compound modifier: a coffee-cup stain on the tablecloth.
