The original Taster Cups

The Acme Taster Cup Range was purpose-built for professional coffee cupping, by people who’ve actually done the job. Acme’s owners, Megan and Paddy, spent years behind espresso machines and cupping tables as baristas and roasters, and they poured all that hands-on experience into designing the range.

Back in 2015, we saw the need for a better, more versatile cupping vessel. Something that would do justice to the coffee. So we made the Tall Taster which gives grounds more room to fall and more brew to taste. (Quick explainer: in cupping, coffee and water are brewed together in the same vessel, and the grounds settle to the bottom—so you’re tasting liquid only. Magic.)

 

Unlike traditional cupping bowls, ours are easier to taste from. We also made them stackable, thick-walled, durable, and drawer-friendly.

Turns out, other people liked them too so we developed the range. You’ll now find our Tasters everywhere; from cafes and competition tables to kitchen shelves around the world. But if you’re new to the collection here’s a quick rundown:

 

Mini Taster (110ml): The smallest and cutest of the bunch. Great for piccolos, espresso, or a fluffy for the small humans in your life. Also neat for spices or something saucy on the side.

 

Medium Taster (210ml): A great all-rounder. Perfect for cupping, lattes, filter brews, or your morning hot choc.

 

Tall Taster (260ml): Perfect for lattes and those who prefer a deeper bowl for cupping.

 

Large Taster (310ml): This one deserves its own round of applause and is a bit of a show-off. It fits our 14cm Medium saucer, and like its siblings, it’s stackable and built to last. It’s big enough for a side of soup, a generous scoop of gelato, a small smoothie bowl, or a latte that doesn’t mess around. (Smaller than the iconic ’90s latte bowl, don’t worry.)
