Demitasse Cup Set In Red with Flowers 12 Pieces
A twelve-piece demitasse set built for the cafecito ritual — six small cups and six matching saucers in red with a floral pattern, sized for the thimble-pour of Cuban espresso, not American coffee.
The set includes six demitasse cups and six saucers. Demitasse cups hold roughly 2 to 3 ounces, the correct serving size for a shot of café Cubano, a cortadito, or a pour from a colada thermos passed around the table.
Perfect For: housewarming, Mother's Day, birthday, gifting, care package shipments to family members setting up a first apartment or a new home.
Common Uses: serving café Cubano after dinner, cortaditos at the afternoon merienda, espresso for guests, and the small ceremonial pours that follow Sunday family dinner. Also used as espresso cups for any home espresso setup.
Cultural Context: in Cuban-American households, the demitasse cup is its own object — kept in a specific cabinet, brought out when family visits, washed by hand. Giving someone a full set is giving them the equipment to host the cafecito break properly, which is how relationships get maintained across Miami-Dade and the wider diaspora.
Pairs With: a stovetop cafetera, Café Bustelo or Café La Llave espresso, sugar for whipping espumita, and pastelitos de guayaba on the side.
Ships nationwide to Cuban-American families wherever the cafecito is poured.
