Demitasse Cup Set In Two Tones Cortadito 12 Pieces

A twelve-piece demitasse set in a two-tone design, sized specifically for the cortadito — that small pour of espresso cut with steamed milk that sits between cafecito and café con leche. Six cups, six saucers, enough to serve a full table after Sunday dinner without anyone waiting for a wash cycle.

The two-tone finish is understated enough to work for daily use and presentable enough to bring out when company shows up. These are working cups, not display pieces, but they look the part either way.

What's Included:

• 6 demitasse cups (cortadito-size — slightly more capacity than a straight espresso cup)
• 6 matching saucers

Perfect For: housewarming, Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, or as part of a care package for someone who just moved into their first apartment and needs to set up a proper coffee corner.

Pairs With: a cafetera or moka pot, a small steamer or milk frother for the cortadito, espresso bricks like Café Bustelo or Pilón, and pastelitos de guayaba for the afternoon merienda.

Cultural Context: Twelve pieces matters. In Cuban-American households the coffee ritual is social — it's not one person making one cup. A colada gets poured into multiple cups and passed around. A merienda visit means three or four cortaditos at once. Having a full set means the host never has to apologize for short numbers when extra family stops by. This is the practical math behind the gift.

Ships nationwide to Cuban-American families keeping the cafecito tradition going wherever they live.
