Loveramics Egg Cups Explained: Sizes, Colours and Competition Use

Loveramics Egg is a porcelain cup collection with thick walls and a rounded base shaped for pouring latte art. It comes in the four standard café sizes — 80 ml espresso, 150 ml flat white, 200 ml cappuccino and 300 ml latte — and Loveramics makes the official cups of the World Latte Art Championship and the World Barista Championship.

Cups are one of the few things every customer touches. They shape how a drink looks, how it holds heat and how it feels to drink. That’s why so many speciality cafés — and competition baristas — choose Loveramics Egg.

Why do baristas choose Egg cups?

1. The shape pours well. The rounded base helps milk roll and fold, which makes latte art easier to pour.
2. Thick walls hold heat. The drink stays at temperature for longer.
3. They last. Dhan Tamang, six-time UK Latte Art Champion, told us his café had used Loveramics since opening in 2016 and that “5 years later they still look good.”
4. Colour. Egg comes in a wide range of colours, so you can match your space. Browse by colour.

Which Egg cup size is for which drink?

The flat white and cappuccino cups share the same 14.5 cm saucer, which keeps your saucer stock simple. Loveramics UK explains the thinking behind each size in Coffee cup sizes explained.

What are Egg Potters colours?

Egg Potters colourways — such as Granite, Gunpowder and Caramel — bring a more handmade, earthy finish to the same Egg shape. Ted Longden served his 2022 UK Barista Championship espressos in Granite, and Evangelos Koulougousidis chose Gunpowder after testing ten different espresso cups.

What is Egg Mineral?

Egg Mineral is the Egg shape in a matte reactive glaze, with colours inspired by natural habitats — on our trade site in Emerald, Glacier, Cinnabar and Anthracite. The glaze runs as it fires, so no two cups are quite alike. It uses the same dense Loveramics body — under 0.5% water absorption — and it’s microwave, dishwasher, freezer and oven safe. Cups come in 80 ml espresso, 200 ml cappuccino and 300 ml latte sizes, with matching 14.5 cm and 15.5 cm saucers.
Coming next from Loveramics is Deco, a stacking cup range designed by Simon Stevens, with cup organisers built for high-volume bars. Our crockery planning guide covers both.

How do Egg cups perform in competition?

Loveramics is the official cup of the World Latte Art Championship and the World Barista Championship, and we’ve supplied Egg cups to UK competitors for years. Read how Ted Longden and Evangelos Koulougousidis chose their cups.

How should a café plan an Egg order?

1. Match cup sizes to your menu, not the other way round — see the table above.
2. Order saucers alongside cups; the 14.5 cm saucer covers flat white and cappuccino.
3. Keep a spare case of each size for breakage, so a broken cup never means a mismatched set.
4. Stock a few in retail colours — Egg cups sell to customers who want your café’s cup at home.
