In homes, cafés, hotels, and fine dining spaces, the right coffee cup with saucer set elevates presentation and enhances comfort. From classic porcelain cups to modern china cup designs, choosing the right cup set makes a visible difference on the table. In this guide, Long Phuong Porcelain introduces the top 7+ coffee cups with saucer sets designed for refined coffee moments. Let’s dive into this blog post!
1. What is a coffee cup with saucer?
A coffee cup with saucer is a traditional serving set consisting of a cup designed specifically for coffee and a matching saucer placed underneath. The saucer serves both practical and aesthetic purposes.
Unlike mugs cups, which are often thick and casual, a coffee cup and saucer is designed with proportion, balance, and elegance in mind. The cup usually has thinner walls to preserve coffee aroma and temperature. The saucer helps catch drips, holds a spoon, or supports small treats like sugar cubes or biscuits.
Today, using a coffee cup with saucer is a hallmark of hospitality. It signals a transition from “drinking on the go” to “savoring the moment.” In the world of fine ceramics, these sets are often crafted from high-quality materials to ensure they retain heat while looking exquisite on a tabletop.
2. What’s included in a coffee cup with saucer set?
When you browse for cups sets, you aren’t just buying individual items. A standard coffee cup with saucer set typically includes:
- The cup: Designed with a specific capacity to suit different coffee types (Espresso, Macchiato, or Latte).
- The saucer: A perfectly fitted plate with a center indentation to prevent the cup from sliding.
- The spoon (Optional): Many high-end cups set collections include a matching ceramic or metallic spoon.
- The lid (Optional): Some specialized porcelain cups come with lids to keep the beverage warm for longer periods, especially in office settings.
3. Coffee cup with saucer vs. mugs cups: What’s the difference

5. How to choose the right coffee cup with saucer
Selecting the right coffee cup with saucer requires more than choosing a beautiful design. Below are key factors to consider.
5.1. Cup capacity and shape
The shape of the cup affects the aeration and temperature of the coffee.
- Narrow bottoms help maintain heat for espressos.
- Wide rims are better for latte art. Consider if you prefer round coffee cups for a classic feel or more tapered designs for a modern look.
5.2. Handle comfort and balance
Never overlook the handle. A high-quality porcelain cup design should allow at least one or two fingers to fit comfortably without touching the hot body of the cup. The balance between the cup and the saucer should feel secure—no wobbling!
5.3. Matching cups with existing tableware
If you already have a set of china cuo or plates, look for “Porcelain White” sets. Long Phuong’s signature white glaze is designed to be consistent, allowing you to mix and match different cups sets without them looking out of place.
5.4. Choosing sets for home vs. commercial use
- For home: Focus on aesthetics and personal comfort. You might choose more delicate china cup options.
- For commercial use: Prioritize durability. Look for “Thermal Shock Resistant” porcelain that can withstand industrial dishwashers.
6. Care and maintenance tips of porcelain and china cups
Proper care helps extend the life of your porcelain cups and china cup sets.
- Wash gently with mild detergent
- Avoid sudden temperature changes
- Stack carefully to prevent chipping
