🥇 GEO GOLD – A Little Luxury Around the Rim
The defining feature of the GEO GOLD collection is the subtle:
gold-coloured rim
around the top of each transparent glass.
Combined with the faceted geometric body, this gives the cup a distinctive appearance that works beautifully in:
✨ Modern kitchens
🍽️ Restaurants
🏨 Hospitality
☕ Specialty coffee service
🎁 Coffee gift sets
🧪 Premium tastings
Vialli Design created the GEO GOLD series to combine contemporary form with elegant gold detailing.
It turns something as simple as a double espresso into a more deliberate serving moment.
🔬 Borosilicate Glass
The cups are manufactured from borosilicate glass.
This material is widely used for quality coffee and tea glassware because it combines:
🔥 Resistance to temperature changes
🪶 Low weight
✨ Visual clarity
💎 Refined appearance
Unlike an opaque ceramic cup, transparent glass also lets you see the complete espresso.
That means:
🤎 Crema
🍯 Colour
☕ Espresso body
🎨 Layering
all remain visible.
For us, that's particularly enjoyable when serving beautiful specialty coffee.
👀 See the Espresso
Espresso isn't only aroma and flavour.
There is a visual side too.
With a transparent cup you can observe:
🤎 Crema formation
🟤 Changes in colour
🍯 Espresso settling
✨ Texture
☕ The relationship between crema and liquid coffee
That makes these glasses especially attractive for:
🧪 Espresso tastings
🌍 Single-origin comparisons
🎓 Training
☕ Coffee Omakase-style service
A beautiful espresso deserves to be seen before you drink it.
☕ 120 ml – More Versatile Than a Tiny Espresso Cup
A traditional espresso cup is often around 60–90 ml.
At:
120 ml
the GEO GOLD gives you more flexibility.
Use it for:
☕ Espresso
30–45 g
with plenty of visual space above the crema.
☕ Lungo
A longer espresso recipe without filling the cup to the rim.
🥛 Macchiato
Espresso plus a small amount of textured milk.
🍫 Coffee tasting creations
Espresso combined with:
🍫 Chocolate
🌸 Aromatic ingredients
🫧 Foam
🍊 Citrus
🧪 Small sensory pairings
That extra volume makes the cup useful for much more than one traditional 25 ml espresso.
👃 CoffeeNose Tip – Don't Fill It Just Because You Can
A 120 ml cup does not mean you should pull a 120 ml espresso.
Cup capacity and espresso recipe are completely different things.
For example:
🫘 Coffee dose
18 g
💧 Espresso yield
36–45 g
will sit beautifully inside this cup.
That empty space above the espresso also gives you room to:
👃 Smell the aromatics
🔄 Swirl gently
👀 Observe the crema
🥄 Add a small sensory pairing
Choose your brew ratio because it tastes good.
Not because the cup has space left.
🧪 Great for Comparative Espresso Tastings
The fact that this is a set of two makes it especially nice for side-by-side coffee comparisons.
Try:
Cup 1
🍫 Chocolaty espresso blend
versus
Cup 2
🍓 Fruity single origin
Or keep the coffee the same and compare:
🌡️ Different temperature
⚙️ Different grind
💧 Different ratio
🫧 With / without pre-infusion
Two identical cups remove another variable from the tasting.
That's exactly the kind of experiment we enjoy at Amsterdam Coffee Lab.
🧼 Important – Hand Wash Only
The manufacturer explicitly lists these GEO GOLD cups as:
not dishwasher safe.
The decorative gold rim deserves a little care.
We recommend:
🧽 Hand washing
💧 Warm water
🫧 Mild detergent
🧻 Soft cloth or sponge
✨ Drying carefully after washing
Avoid:
❌ Abrasive pads
❌ Aggressive cleaning chemicals
❌ Dishwasher cycles
The glass itself is durable.
The decorative finish is the part you want to protect.
🎁 Beautiful Espresso Gift
Combine the GEO GOLD set with:
🫘 A WB.coffee espresso tasting set
🍫 Specialty chocolate
⚖️ A small espresso scale
🥄 Espresso spoons
☕ Freshly roasted coffee
for a gift that feels more personal than simply handing somebody another bag of beans.
Particularly nice for:
🎂 Birthdays
🏠 Housewarming
💍 Weddings
🎄 Holidays
☕ Espresso lovers
For a comforting espresso profile, try:
CN – Chocolaty & Nutty
A popular WB.coffee espresso blend with a flavour direction of:
🍫 Milk chocolate
🌰 Nuts
🍮 Caramel
🍯 Brown sugar
🍰 Fudge
Its rich espresso colour looks fantastic through the clear GEO glass.
Prefer something softer and sweeter?
VC – Vanilla & Caramel
Expect a profile around:
🌼 Vanilla
🍮 Caramel
🍯 Sweetness
☕ Round espresso
Particularly nice as:
☕ Straight espresso
or
🥛 A small macchiato in the 120 ml GEO GOLD cup.
🍓 Explore Fruity Espresso
Transparent glass becomes even more interesting with lighter, fruit-driven coffees.
Try:
🍓 FJ – Fruity & Juicy
🍓 Kenya Currant Crush
🌸 Ethiopia Guji Majesty
💎 Guatemala Geisha – Finca Inferno
🍊 Fernando Díaz Orange Bourbon
Compare not only flavour, but also:
🤎 Crema
🎨 Colour
👃 Aroma
👅 Mouthfeel
👅 Find Your Espresso with a Tasting Set
Not sure whether you're:
🍫 Chocolaty & Nutty
or
🍓 Fruity & Juicy?
Start with a WB.coffee Espresso Tasting Set and use the two matching cups to taste coffees side by side.
Same cup.
Same recipe.
Different coffee.
That's a much better way to discover your preference than reading flavour descriptors on a screen.

❤️ Why We Like Them at WB.coffee
Espresso cups are surprisingly personal.
Some people want:
🏺 Thick ceramic.
Others want:
🥃 Ultra-thin glass.
The GEO GOLD cups sit somewhere else entirely.
They're:
✨ playful
🥇 elegant
👀 transparent
🪶 lightweight
☕ practical at 120 ml
and the faceted shape gives them much more personality than a plain laboratory-style espresso glass.
We particularly like the set of two.
Put a chocolaty blend in one.
A fruity single origin in the other.
Taste them side by side.
The gold rim adds a little theatre—but the interesting part remains what's inside it.
CoffeeNose verdict 👃
A good cup shouldn't distract from the coffee.
But there is nothing wrong with making the coffee look beautiful too.
