Combing material interest and smart design, the Maillard Porcelain Espresso Cup fits snugly atop its stainless steel saucer. The Porcelain Cup and Saucer set (2001) is part of the Maillard Coffee Service Collection, which asks that no one take a commonplace daily custom for granted. Whether the recipients are a houseful of guests or you and your newspaper, the Maillard Collection comprises everything needed for serving – and sipping – your preferred style of coffee. Combine the Cup and Saucer with the Coffee Press, which keeps your coffee both insulated and visible, or the stovetop Espresso Machine. Maillard is a coordinated collection that retains a classic aesthetic without being retro. The primary material used is a steel alloy called Cromargan®. Neutral in flavor and resistant to food acid, Cromargan is hygienic, stainless and easily cleaned. Dishwasher safe.
