Demitasse in Gray 6-cup Set with Matching Plates
A six-cup demitasse set in soft gray, sized for the small, strong pours that define Cuban coffee culture. Each cup arrives with a matching saucer, ready for cafecito, cortaditos, or a tray of colada shots passed around the kitchen.
The set includes six demitasse cups and six matching plates in a clean gray finish. Demitasse cups are the correct vessel for Cuban espresso pours — small enough to hold the espumita on top, sturdy enough to handle the heat of a freshly brewed moka pot. The gray colorway is neutral enough to live on an everyday counter and dressy enough for company.
Perfect For: housewarming, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, gifting to a Cuban-American household setting up a new kitchen, or replacing the chipped set that has been in rotation for a decade.
Cultural Context: In Cuban-American homes, the demitasse set is rarely decorative — it gets used. Cafecito after lunch, a cortadito mid-afternoon, a colada split among visitors. Giving someone a proper set acknowledges the ritual without explaining it. For diaspora households where the cafetera comes out daily, the right cups are part of the equipment.
Pairs With: Café Bustelo, Café La Llave, Pilon, a stovetop cafetera, and a sugar bowl for working the espumita.
Ships nationwide to Cuban-American families wherever the cafecito habit traveled with them.
