Description
A Coffee Tasting Cup That Splits One Brew Into Two Experiences
Most cups flatten a coffee’s character into one flat sip. This coffee tasting cup uses a dual-thickness rim to route the same brew across two different paths on the tongue, so acidity, sweetness, and aroma stop competing and start showing themselves clearly.
Sensory Engineering, Not Decoration
Ni Ware’s cupping expertise and TIMEMORE’s brewing focus combine in a cup where every curve has a job. The tapered rim, the dimpled base, and the glaze colour aren’t stylistic choices — they’re calibrated to change how coffee reads on the palate.
What The Design Delivers
- Lowered rim edge pushes coffee to the tongue tip, sharpening acidity and aromatics
- Raised rim edge spreads coffee across the palate, extending sweetness and finish
- Pink interior glaze visually amplifies perceived sweetness
- Dimpled central peak keeps fine particles in suspension for a consistent last sip
What Sets This Coffee Tasting Cup Apart
Dual-Thickness Rim
Two distinct drinking edges in one cup, directing coffee toward different taste zones for acidity or sweetness on demand.
Aroma-Focused Taper
The body narrows gently toward the rim, concentrating volatile aromatics and steering them toward the nose with every sip.
Central Dimpled Peak
A subtle rise at the base encourages natural swirl on lifting, keeping fine particles suspended through the cup.
Hand-Shaped Ceramic
Each cup is shaped individually by a potter, giving it a tactile, one-of-a-kind finish and a solid, durable build.
Ergonomic Form
A low centre of gravity and balanced profile sit naturally in the hand through long tasting sessions.
400ml Capacity
Sized for filter coffee, sensory cupping sessions, and professional evaluation without needing refills mid-tasting.

FAQs
What makes this different from a regular coffee cup?
The dual-thickness rim and tapered aroma-focused shape are designed specifically for sensory evaluation, letting you taste acidity and sweetness separately from the same brew.
Is this coffee tasting cup suitable for daily filter coffee?
Yes. It’s built for filter coffee, home cupping, and professional tasting sessions alike.
Why is the interior glazed pink?
The pink interior glaze is designed to visually enhance the perception of sweetness during tasting.
How should I clean the cup?
Hand wash is recommended to preserve the glaze and hand-shaped ceramic finish.
Will each cup look identical?
No. Each Bouba is individually hand-shaped by a potter, so subtle variations in form are expected and part of its character.
Built For Serious Tasting
This coffee tasting cup suits home brewers refining their filter coffee routine, and cafés or roasters running structured cuppings where distinguishing acidity, sweetness, and aroma actually matters.
