The wide shape of the Café au lait cup has been adopted from the classic French »bol« and makes dunking biscuits possible.
Barista Code: Base thickness: 10.0 mm Cup rim: 2.0 mm. The thick base keeps the heat with large volumes. The wall of the Café au Lait cup is growing thinner so that hot coffee can cool down faster. The broad tulip shape provides for a good mixing of milk and coffee.
Every cup apart... Crack the code for coffee pleasure with Barista! Coffee strives for developing its individual flavour, requiring sufficient space for this end. It depends on the size of the surface whether a beautiful crema will form with the milk froth remaining stable. For this reason, Barista offers a cup for every coffee speciality to best develop its individual flavour.
The raised centre of the saucer with the WMF logo is an unmistakable feature of the design. The corresponding indentation gives the cup stability.
