Lavazza cappuccino cups 160 ml — Set of 6

160 ml is the standard Italian café size for a classic cappuccino. The unwritten but universal standard in Italy:

• 150 ml — short, dense cappuccino, Rome and southern Italy.
• 160 ml — standard café cappuccino, most regions.
• 180 ml — larger cappuccino, Milan and the north.
• 200 ml+ — latte macchiato or caffè latte — falls outside the traditional definition of cappuccino.

The 160 ml Lavazza cup therefore follows the most widely accepted Italian café standard — a perfect balance between espresso intensity, milk body and foam volume.

The Italian 1/3 · 1/3 · 1/3 standard:

• Extracted espresso 25–40 ml — an intensely aromatic base. Extraction time 25–30 seconds, fine grind.
• Hot milk 50–70 ml — heated to 60–65 °C with the steam wand (never hotter, otherwise the milk develops a burnt taste).
• Milk foam 50–70 ml — velvety microfoam texture, not foam with large bubbles.

Latte art technique: pour the foamed milk in concentric rings to create a rosetta, heart or tulip. The 160 ml cup is perfectly suited to basic designs (rosetta, heart).

Yes to both:

• Dishwasher — premium porcelain withstands standard cycles (60–70 °C) without any problems. Avoid very high-temperature cycles (> 75 °C), which may dull the glaze over time.
• Microwave — safe for quickly reheating a cappuccino that has cooled down (e.g. 20–30 seconds). Caution: the porcelain can become very hot — use an oven glove.
• Preheating the cup — rinse with hot water or microwave for 5 seconds before serving to maintain the coffee's temperature (an Italian café tip).

Made in Italy — Lavazza tableware is produced by partner Italian manufacturers to Lavazza's quality specifications (design, dimensional tolerances, thermal and mechanical resistance). The premium porcelain is denser than standard porcelain: 2,4–2,5 g/cm³ versus 2,2 for entry-level porcelain. Above-average resistance to thermal shock (cold/hot shock) and scratches from metal cutlery. Expected lifespan in bar/café use: ~5–8 years with intensive use, ~15–20 years for home/brunch use.
