Description
One cup. Two conversations with your coffee.
Most filter cups only give you one entry point into a brew, flattening the nuance specialty coffee works so hard to earn. The Ni Wares Kiki dual-lipped filter cup changes the angle of approach entirely, letting the same cup of coffee speak in two distinct voices.
A rim designed to shift perception
The Kiki’s signature dual-lipped rim isn’t decorative. Each side is shaped differently, changing how liquid meets your palate — altering aroma delivery, mouthfeel, and the order in which sweetness, acidity, and body register. Turn the cup, sip again, and the same filter coffee tells a slightly different story.
Built for real evaluation
- Two rim profiles reveal contrasting flavor and aroma expressions from one brew
- Ceramic body holds heat, keeping the cup close to true brewing temperature longer
- 200ml capacity suits a full filter coffee serving or a tasting flight pour
- Minimalist form suits cupping tables, café counters, and home shelves equally

Before you brew
What does “dual-lipped” actually mean?
The Kiki has two differently shaped rims on opposite sides of the same cup. Drinking from each side changes how coffee reaches your palate, altering perceived sweetness, acidity, body, and aroma.
Is this cup meant for filter coffee only?
It’s optimised for filter coffee — pour-over, drip, and similar methods — where clarity and nuance are easiest to detect and compare.
Can home brewers use it, or is it for professionals only?
Both. Cafés and Q-graders use it for cupping and sensory evaluation, while home brewers use it simply to enjoy their daily cup with more attention.
How should I clean the Kiki cup?
Hand wash is recommended to protect the ceramic finish and keep both rim edges precise over time.
What is the capacity of this cup?
200ml — enough for a standard filter coffee serving or a generous tasting pour.
For anyone who wants to taste more, not just drink
The Ni Wares Kiki dual-lipped filter cup suits Indian specialty cafés running cuppings, roasters training their palates, and home brewers who want their filter coffee ritual to feel a little more deliberate.
