Care instructions
The cup is dishwasher safe and therefore convenient to use in both professional environments and at home. We recommend stacking the cups gently for neat and space-saving storage. Since porcelain is a natural material, small variations may occur in the product's finish, glaze coverage, and final volume. This is completely normal and part of each cup's unique character.
ACME Taster series
The ACME Taster series was developed to make coffee tasting more precise, more consistent, and more focused. The deep shape helps the grounds settle, resulting in a cleaner cup and clearer sensory experience with every sip. We especially like how the thick-walled porcelain maintains even heat when several cups are tasted in a row, and how the stackable shape simplifies work when the pace is fast. The black Tall Taster is particularly suitable when precision and concentration are key.
Colour and finish
The execution in Penguin Black gives the cup a clean, professional, and minimalist look. The glossy, all-black surface enhances the feeling of a well-thought-out black coffee cup set for serious tasting, and the dark interior helps you assess aroma and flavor without the eye being distracted by colour or clarity. The picture shows a minimalist cup without a handle, with a straight top and slightly tapered bottom clearly adapted for function. One honest thing to know is that the model is optimized for cupping and sensory work, so it is less obvious if you are mainly looking for a classic serving cup for everyday coffee at the table.
How to do a cupping
Start by dosing about 15 g of coarsely ground coffee directly into the cup. Then pour water around 94 °C and fill the cup. Let the brew rest for about 4 minutes without stirring. Then gently break the crust with a spoon and focus on the aromas released. Remove the floating grounds from the surface and taste when the temperature has dropped slightly. In a small cup for espresso and cupping-like tasting like this, the black interior is a clear advantage, as attention stays on the flavor.
If you want to work more methodically with coffee tasting, this is a strong choice from ACME – stackable, durable, and developed for serious premium-class cupping.
