Acme Tulip 170 ml — Flat White & Cappuccino Cup and Saucer Set

The signature cup for flat whites and specialty cappuccinos

The 170ml Acme Tulip cup and saucer bundle brings together the two essential pieces for serving your milk-based beverages in the format preferred by specialty coffee shops.

What sets it apart

The Tulip shape, a signature of the New Zealand brand Acme, flares slightly towards the top. It enhances latte art and preserves the density of the milk foam until the last sip. The matching cup and saucer ensure a neat and cohesive presentation.

Features

• 170ml capacity — ideal size for flat whites, cortados, and small cappuccinos
• Tulip shape — flared rim that highlights latte art and concentrates aromas
• High-density porcelain — superior heat retention compared to thinner cups, keeping beverages hot longer
• Stackable design — saves space on the counter, bar, or in drawers
• Dishwasher safe for daily use
• Complete bundle: matching cup + saucer

Daily use

The 170ml is the benchmark size for flat whites. It allows for a balanced coffee-to-milk ratio (a double espresso with approximately 120ml of textured milk) and leaves just enough space for clean latte art. The thickness of Acme porcelain protects your hand from the heat without making the cup heavy.

Who it's for

Ideal for the home barista who regularly prepares flat whites, cortados, or small cappuccinos, as well as for coffee shops and restaurants wishing to align their service with specialty coffee standards.

Less suitable for those who prefer a large 12oz or larger latte — in this case, opt for the more generous sizes in the Acme range available on lheureuxinc.com.

Positioning

In the category of specialty porcelain cups, Acme is the benchmark used in the majority of third-wave coffee shops worldwide. The 170ml Tulip is its flagship size for short milk-based beverages.
