For The Caffè Collection, ceramic artist Nadia Elgan designed and created one-of-a-kind pieces for The Caffè by Mr. Espresso, mirroring the ethos of The Caffè — honoring Italian old-world coffee tradition in a decidedly contemporary space that gives a sleek Bay Area look. The artist used locally sourced clay with sand from California beaches to truly highlight the beauty of the landscape in each vessel.
- The interior of each vessel features an egg-shaped bottom for polished and easy pouring, while the base of the pieces are made thicker to keep the coffee warm until the last sip.
- The juicy orange glaze gives a perfect pop of color that ties it all together.
- The full Collection consists of 5 cups, a saucer and a pastry plate. Cups sizes are: 2-oz, 3-oz, 5-oz, 8-oz, and 12-oz.
- The 2-oz, 5-oz and 8-oz cups were fully glazed and are designed with a handle. A multi-use saucer is available separately.
- The 3-oz and 12-oz cups were designed without a handle and left unglazed on the exterior.
- The end result, The Caffè Collection, is a line of vessels that blend both function and design — marrying Italian traditional aesthetics with a kiss of California flare.
