A six-cup demitasse set with matching saucers, sized for the small, strong pours that define Cuban coffee service — cafecito, cortadito, and the shared colada poured out one tiny cup at a time.

The set includes six demitasse cups and six matching plates. Demitasse cups hold roughly 2 to 3 ounces — the correct volume for espresso topped with espumita, or for the thimble-sized servings poured from a colada thermos and passed around a kitchen counter or office break room.

Common Uses: serving cafecito after lunch, pouring a colada for the table, presenting cortaditos at a Sunday family gathering, hosting an afternoon merienda with pastelitos, gifting to a newlywed couple setting up their first Cuban kitchen.

Perfect For: housewarming, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, quinceañera, gifting to anyone who runs a cafetera daily.

Cultural Context: The demitasse cup is the stage piece of the Cuban coffee ritual. A cafetera on the stove is half the equation — the other half is having the right cups ready when the coffee comes up. Diaspora households often inherit a set from a grandmother; a new set marks the start of someone running their own coffee service for family and guests.

Pairs With: a stovetop cafetera, Café La Llave or Bustelo bricks, sugar for whipping espumita, pastelitos de guayaba for the afternoon break.

Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households building or restocking the coffee corner of the kitchen.
