Cup Coffee Co.

A slow meeting of espresso and cold milk over clear ice. The first pour leaves dark ribbons through the glass; a gentle stir brings them together into a smooth, balanced drink.

Inside the glass

The espresso provides the structure, while milk rounds the edges and carries the aroma. Ice keeps the texture light and gives the drink time to open between sips.

• A double espresso with a rounded roast character.
• Cold milk poured over clear ice.
• Served unsweetened, with room for your own preference.

How it drinks

Coffee leads the first sip, followed by a softer, creamy middle. Stir slowly for an even flavour, or leave the layers for a changing balance as you drink.

The ritual

Made for a late morning pause and a seat near the window. Walnut, travertine and gentle bands of light create the setting; condensation on the glass keeps the scene grounded in a small, everyday detail.
