Warum es sich lohnt

For the Sensory Explorer

If you view coffee as a complex beverage comparable to fine wine, the CAFEC Tashinamu Cup is your essential tasting tool. It is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between brewing and tasting, ensuring that none of the hard-earned aromas from your specialty beans are lost to the air. It is the perfect vessel for those who want to deconstruct and appreciate every subtle note in a high-quality pour-over.

For the Mindfulness Practitioner

The Otemae series is more than just drinkware; it is an invitation to slow down. By incorporating the principles of the Japanese tea ceremony into the coffee world, this cup encourages a meditative approach to your daily caffeine. The handleless design and tactile Mino pottery turn every sip into a moment of zen, making it ideal for those who want their coffee break to be a true escape from the bustle of modern life.

For the Collector of Fine Craftsmanship

For those who appreciate the heritage and skill behind their tools, the Tashinamu Cup is a masterpiece of Japanese ceramic art. Owning a piece of Mino-yaki is owning a part of a millennium-old tradition. Whether displayed on a shelf or used daily, its timeless design and superior build quality make it a standout addition to any coffee enthusiast's collection.

Auf einen Blick

Aroma-Confining Barrel ShapeThe Tashinamu Cup features a sophisticated barrel-shaped body that acts as a natural chimney for coffee aromatics. By narrowing slightly toward the top, the cup traps the volatile aromatic compounds released by the hot coffee, concentrating them within the vessel. This allows the drinker to experience a much more intense and nuanced "nose" before even taking a sip, similar to the function of a professional wine-tasting glass.
Precision-Engineered Flared LipThe rim of the cup is elegantly flared outward, a design choice rooted in sensory science. This specific curvature ensures that as you sip, the coffee is delivered across the entire palate, specifically targeting the tip and sides of the tongue. This placement maximizes the perception of sweetness and body while balancing acidity, resulting in a smoother, more harmonious tasting experience.
Authentic Japanese Mino-yaki CraftsmanshipEach Tashinamu Cup is a piece of living history, produced in the Mino region of Japan—a center of ceramic excellence for over 1,300 years. The use of traditional Mino pottery (Mino-yaki) ensures that every cup is not only visually stunning but also exceptionally durable and heat-retentive. The artisanal nature of the production means each cup possesses a unique character and soul.
Optimized Headspace for Flavor DevelopmentTo achieve the best results, the cup is designed to be used with a "less is more" approach. By filling the 200ml cup only about one-third full, you create a significant amount of headspace. This empty volume allows the coffee to aerate and the complex aromas to mingle and intensify, providing a much richer sensory experience than a standard cup filled to the brim.
Tactile & Grounded ErgonomicsThe handleless design of the Tashinamu Cup encourages the user to cradle the vessel with both hands, a gesture central to the Otemae (tea ceremony) tradition. This physical connection to the warmth of the coffee and the texture of the ceramic promotes mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for the ritual of drinking. The balanced weight of 210g provides a premium, grounded feel in the hand.
Dual Aesthetic VariantsThe Tashinamu Cup is available in two distinct finishes to suit your personal style. The Red variant features a deep, rustic, and textured glaze that evokes the earthy tones of traditional Japanese kilns. The White variant offers a clean, minimalist, and smooth aesthetic that beautifully showcases the clarity and color of the coffee. Both variants are designed to complement any high-end coffee setup.

Elevate Your Coffee Ritual with the CAFEC Otemae Tashinamu Cup

Immerse yourself in the "Way of Coffee" with the CAFEC Otemae Tashinamu Cup. Inspired by the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Otemae), this cup is meticulously designed to transform your coffee tasting into a sensory performance. Crafted from authentic Mino pottery, it combines centuries of Japanese craftsmanship with modern sensory science to enhance every aspect of your brew.

The unique barrel-shaped silhouette is not just for aesthetics; it is engineered to concentrate and confine the delicate aromas of your coffee, delivering them directly to your senses. The flared lip ensures the liquid reaches the optimal "sweet spot" on your tongue, highlighting the natural sweetness and mellow body of the coffee. Available in two timeless finishes—a rich, textured Red and a clean, elegant White—the Tashinamu Cup is the ultimate vessel for those who treat coffee as an art form.

Key Features:

Aroma-Concentrating Design: The barrel shape and narrowed rim firmly confine the coffee's aroma, allowing you to experience the full olfactory profile of your beans.
Sensory-Optimized Lip: The flared rim is designed to guide the coffee to the specific areas of the tongue that perceive sweetness and mellowness, enhancing flavor balance.
Traditional Mino Pottery: Each cup is handcrafted in the Gifu prefecture of Japan, utilizing traditional Mino-yaki techniques known for their durability and artistic beauty.
Wine-Tasting Experience: Designed to be filled only 1/3 full (approx. 60-70ml), creating a large internal headspace that allows the coffee to breathe and the aromas to converge.
Ergonomic & Tactile: The gentle contours and textured finish provide a comfortable, grounded hold, encouraging a slower, more mindful drinking experience.

Tipps für die erste Tasse

To experience the full potential of the Tashinamu Cup, pre-warm the vessel with hot water before brewing to ensure your coffee stays at the optimal tasting temperature for longer.

For the most intense aromatic experience, follow the "1/3 rule": pour only about 60-70ml of coffee into the cup at a time, allowing the large headspace to concentrate the scents.

Finally, try "nosing" the cup—taking a deep breath of the trapped aromas—before each sip to fully engage your olfactory senses and enhance the perceived flavor.

Was Kunden über uns sagen

Häufige Fragen

Deine Frage ist nicht dabei? Schreib uns an support@baristadelight.de.

Why is the cup handleless?

The handleless design is inspired by the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Otemae). It encourages you to hold the cup with both hands, creating a more intimate and mindful connection with your coffee. This posture also allows you to feel the warmth of the beverage, which is an integral part of the sensory experience.

How does the shape of the cup affect the taste of the coffee?

The barrel shape is designed to trap and concentrate the coffee's aromas in the headspace of the cup. Additionally, the flared lip is specifically curved to direct the coffee to the front and sides of your tongue as you drink. This targets the taste buds most sensitive to sweetness and mellowness, making the coffee taste more balanced and less acidic.

What is the "1/3 rule" mentioned in the description?

To get the best aromatic performance, CAFEC recommends filling the cup only about one-third of the way (approx. 60-70ml). This leaves a large "room" inside the cup where the aromas can gather and intensify. It’s very similar to how you would only pour a small amount of wine into a large glass to let it breathe and concentrate its bouquet.

Is Mino pottery durable for everyday use?

Yes, Mino-yaki is one of Japan's most famous and respected types of pottery, known for its strength and durability. While it is a piece of artisanal craft, it is designed for daily use. It is heat-resistant and can be used in the dishwasher, though we recommend hand washing to preserve the beautiful glaze finish over many years.
