The style of espresso has changed dramatically in the past ten years, and ACME has seen a much lighter and longer style being served instead of the traditional style espresso. Serving a traditional style of espresso is very well suited to the heavier cup it’s being served in. But what about a lighter style espresso that is now being served? When a customer picks up a heavy cup with a light tasting drink in it, their expectation of that drink is heavy, as the tactile is always judged first (when it’s being picked up). But, put that same drink into a lighter, finer cup, and the customer’s experience is right where you need it to be.
ACME’s Roman is a finer, lighter cup created for modern espresso. To achieve this, a lighter material is used called magnesium porcelain, as it’s very durable but light. In fact, it is translucent when held up to the light. The ACME team saw a need for a vessel that reflected the change in espresso, something simple and unadorned yet functional.
The Roman range is available in a 170ml and 270ml, and as always, the medium saucer fits both cups. For more information visit www.acmecups.com.
