From the moment you pull a shot to the moment you drink it, the crema starts collapsing and the temperature starts dropping. A cold or thin-walled cup accelerates both processes. The \u003cstrong\u003eDawn 160ml Double-Walled Espresso Demitasse Cups\u003c\/strong\u003e are engineered to slow this down — keeping your espresso at serving temperature while remaining completely cool to the touch on the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Double-Walled Construction?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble-wall vacuum insulation creates a thermal barrier between the inner and outer stainless steel walls.

At 160ml, the Dawn cup accommodates both a generous double espresso and a ristretto with an americano addition while maintaining the compact footprint that demitasse culture demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e304 Stainless Steel — Inner and Outer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth walls are food-grade 304 stainless steel. The inner wall is polished smooth — no rough welds, no recessed seams that trap coffee residue. The exterior finish is brushed or mirror-polished depending on variant, resistant to fingerprints and daily handling marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDawn Series Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dawn series is named for its clean, uncluttered aesthetic — a cup that disappears into the espresso experience rather than competing with it. No prints, no graphics, no gimmicks. The sculptural form of the double-wall construction is the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrema Preservation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe insulated walls maintain serving temperature (60–65°C) for significantly longer than ceramic. This preserves the crema longer — the thin layer of emulsified oils that sits on the espresso surface is temperature-dependent and collapses faster as the shot cools. Drinking from a pre-warmed metal cup extends your window of peak crema enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComparison: Double-Walled Stainless vs. Ceramic Demitasse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDawn Double-Wall (Stainless)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandard Ceramic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature retention\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ 2–3x longer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaseline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-warming required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional (insulation compensates)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTouch temperature outside\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Cool to touch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot after short exposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Virtually unbreakable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChips and cracks over time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatte art visibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner view only (opaque walls)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Visible from all angles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Yes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Yes (most)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTravel compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✅ Excellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFragile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Get the Best from Your Dawn Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor maximum temperature retention: fill with boiling water 30 seconds before pulling your shot, pour out, pull shot directly into the cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor crema: the smooth stainless interior is non-porous — the crema won't stick or absorb, maintaining its surface intact for longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor cleaning: rinse immediately after use to prevent coffee oil buildup on the inner wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this set come with saucers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dawn cups are designed as standalone cups — the double-wall construction eliminates the need for a saucer as a heat barrier.

The 160ml capacity is ideal for cortados (90–100ml) and flat whites (120–150ml).
