Espresso needs the right vessel, and 85 millilitres is it. This ceramic set pairs two small cups with two saucers, matte on the outside and glossy inside, a combination that keeps the crema looking right and makes washing up straightforward.

The ceramic has real weight to it, which holds heat in a shot that would otherwise cool within a minute, and the compact 130 by 130 by 87 millimetre kraft paper box makes the set easy to post or hand over without additional packaging. Seven finishes are available, from black, grey and dark blue through red, green, white and natural, so the set can carry a brand colour or sit quietly on any table.

An espresso set is a compact, high-perceived-value gift where budget and shipping weight both matter. It fits client thank-you gifts, office-opening and relocation announcements, coffee-themed campaigns for roasters and machine suppliers, hospitality and restaurant partnerships, and end-of-year gifting where the recipient list runs long. Two cups make it a gift for a household rather than an individual, which increases the chance it is used daily.

MerchRepublic prints your logo on the cups, the saucers or the kraft outer box, and can bundle the set with coffee or other drinkware from our catalogue into a finished gift. We handle wholesale runs and deliver across the European Union. Ask us for a visual before you commit to a quantity.
