Compostable Espresso Cup 4oz Branded
The 4oz cup arrives at the counter in that quiet, deliberate scale a double ristretto deserves — small enough to cradle, structured enough to carry a logo without apology. White FSC-certified paperboard holds its shape against a short, hot pour; the aqueous lining, certified AS 5810 home compostable, means the finished cup can leave the café in a customer's hand and finish its life in a backyard compost.
Simple print lays your logo or design cleanly across the wrap, with full-colour options available for brands wanting the whole canvas. The cup is sized for 80 mm compostable lids, sold separately, and sits comfortably inside tasting flights, loyalty samplers and the morning rush of espresso regulars who know exactly what they want.
For roasters, specialty cafés and events pouring short blacks, piccolos or sample pours, the 4oz reads as considered rather than oversized. A sustainability café in Fitzroy might run them through a weekend festival; a boutique roaster could use them for cupping sessions where the smaller volume keeps the coffee honest. Minimum order 250 units, available in white, with the option of a PLA lining certified AS 4736 commercially compostable where industrial facilities are the end point. Design and artwork guidance is part of the process.

Why Compostable Espresso Cup 4oz Branded works
The espresso cup as editorial object — a short-form canvas where craft coffee and conscience meet without raising their voices.
- ✦Borrow the fragrance house 'discovery set' ritual: a trio of 4oz cups boxed as a roaster's tasting flight, each wrap denoting origin, roast date and tasting note like a perfume card
- ✦Borrow the natural wine 'pop-up pour' ritual: pre-branded 4oz cups staged at gallery openings and design-week after-parties, positioning espresso as the civilised nightcap
- ✦Borrow the skincare 'sample sachet' ritual: cafés hand a complimentary 4oz piccolo to first-time customers of the house blend, the cup itself functioning as a trial-size introduction
“Small cup. Short black. Long conscience.”
- Unfussy
- Paper-pure
- Specialty-grade
- Considered
- Backyard-honest
Material: soft uncoated paperboard with the matte tooth of a letterpress stock, a cup that reads closer to stationery than to packaging · matte
