Raw Coffee Cup Series

Raw Coffee Cup Series

Raw Coffee Cup Series is an innovative collection of porcelain coffee vessels designed by Turkish designer Mustafa Bekiroglu, comprising espresso cups, americano mugs, latte mugs, teacups, and a specialized dripper. The series distinguishes itself through its unique sculptural approach to everyday coffee vessels, featuring distinctive protruding structures and carved surfaces that create compelling light and shadow interplays while simultaneously reducing the overall weight of each piece. Drawing inspiration from natural forms and sea animal patterns, particularly shell and jellyfish motifs, the collection embodies an organic and dynamic aesthetic that elevates the coffee brewing ritual. The series demonstrates exceptional attention to functional details, particularly evident in its dripper design, which accommodates up to 24 grams of coffee and is optimized for brewing portions for up to two people. The carved outer surfaces serve both aesthetic and practical purposes, preventing sliding and rolling while enhancing grip ergonomics. Each piece in the collection features carefully considered dimensions: the Americano Mug at 340cc (105x84mm), Latte Mug at 360cc (88x98mm), Tea Cup at 360cc (112x68mm), and Espresso Mug at 80cc (63x63mm). The design, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category, represents a thoughtful fusion of form and function, where aesthetic innovation meets practical utility. The series was developed through extensive research and consultation with baristas and coffee enthusiasts, resulting in a collection that not only enhances the visual appeal of coffee service but also improves the overall coffee drinking experience through its ergonomic and functional design elements.
