Bodum Corona Espresso/Cappuccino Cup
Set of 4 Bodum Corona Espresso Cups; 0.14L / 4.7 oz

When Carsten Jørgensen designed the Corona dinnerware line years ago he told Bodum right off that making dinnerware for everyday use is much more difficult than making a prestigious dinnerware used only for festive occasions.

You have to look at it every day... It must go in and out of the dishwasher several times a day... It is walked to and from the table by busy and often not too gentle hands... It must not cost a fortune... It must stimulate all senses and make eating an everyday delight.
His design suggestions were: Make it of the good old porcelain used in hotels for centuries... Make it heavy so it does not fly around every time you are fighting a T-bone steak... Make it with a heavy rim to avoid chipping and give you a sensible feeling when drinking from a mug or a glass... Make it a simple shape without too many edges and corners so it will present food in an appetizing way... Make handles solid and big because a family counting all ages with different abilities uses it... It is made for humans by one who cares for the details in daily life! That's why you print Bodum on the bottom!
