Cups come in a wide variety and assortment of materials, including ceramic, porcelain and borosilicate. Below we will mention the characteristics of each raw material, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste, needs and budget.
Ceramic cups: Ceramic cups tend to be more rustic and handmade, as they are often hand-painted. On the other hand, they are thicker and heavier than most other models, and do not retain the heat of drinks for as long.
Porcelain cups: Porcelain cups are thin and delicate, and although they are expensive, they are ideal for holding hot and cold beverages, as they withstand temperature changes and neutralise flavours and odours.
Borosilicate cups: These cups are the ones that best maintain the heat of drinks; in fact, they can contain boiled liquids without any inconvenience, thanks to their special glass, which is more resistant (and fragile). They are also very original, decorative and eye-catching.
