Premium 4oz Insulated Ripple Black Paper Espresso Cups - Case of 1000
In stock. Serve single espresso shots, macchiatos, cortados, and hot beverage samples professionally with 4oz Ripple Black Paper Espresso Cups. These high-quality disposable coffee cups are ideal for busy espresso bars, specialty coffee shops, artisan bakeries, and corporate tasting events. They combine an elegant, modern aesthetic with superior heat protection.
The compact 4oz (approx. 115ml) capacity is specifically tailored for short coffee menus and promotional sampling setups. Featuring an advanced corrugated ripple wall insulation layer, these cups trap internal air pockets to slow heat transfer to the outer surface. This keeps intense espresso shots at their ideal serving temperature while protecting customer hands. This smart design entirely removes the need for separate cardboard sleeves, minimizing stock handling times and lowering packaging overheads.
The modern matte black ripple finish brings a sophisticated, premium look to any coffee counter. This dark texture acts as an excellent minimalist background for your branding. It is a cost-effective alternative to expensive custom printing, allowing your store to easily apply custom corporate stickers or bright brand labels for a high-contrast look.
