When coffee is served after dinner, a matching coffee set makes for a beautiful finale. Cups and saucers do not have to be exactly the same as your dinner plates to create a well-coordinated look. By repeating a color, material, or style, you can create a combination that suits your table.
Start with the tableware you already use
Look at the colors and shapes of your dinner plates. Do they have a distinct pattern, an elegant rim, or a simple finish? Choose one feature you want to echo in your coffee set. This provides cohesion without every component having to be identical.
White and taupe, for example, form a soft foundation. Blue-and-white patterns, on the other hand, add more character. In the cups and mugs collection, you can compare sets based on that aesthetic.
The same series for a cohesive whole
Would you like a table where the pieces clearly belong together? Take a look at dinnerware and coffee sets within the same series. The Bricard Bonnes dinner set and Bricard Bonnes coffee set both use white and taupe. The coffee set is a 12-piece set and includes cups with a specified capacity of 225 ml.
The Bricard Fleury blue-and-white dinner set and Bricard Fleury blue-and-white coffee set also share a vintage aesthetic with floral and decorative motifs. This allows you to carry that style through from dinner to coffee time.
Combining different series
You can also consciously choose a different series. In that case, repeat the main color of the dinner plate in the cup or saucer. If you have a busy pattern, a simpler second component helps keep the table looking uncluttered. A neutral coffee set can therefore be used with multiple dinner sets.
Place images of the sets side by side before choosing. Pay attention to the warmth of the colors: a bright white and a warm white can look different when placed next to each other than they do individually. Also, take your cutlery and glassware into account.
Check how many cups the set contains
The number of pieces is the sum of all components. In a set with both cups and saucers, the saucers count towards the total. A 12-piece set does not automatically mean twelve cups. Read the composition and choose based on the number of people you want to serve coffee to at once.
Also, consider having spares if you don't want to wash cups in between. For a larger group, a second set or a combination with existing cups can be useful.
Aesthetic and utility go hand in hand
A beautiful set must also suit your coffee. Check the capacity, the clearance height under your machine, and the care instructions. A 225 ml cup may be pleasant for a standard coffee, but your personal preparation with milk and foam will determine how much space you need.
Do not rely solely on the material when determining if a set is dishwasher or microwave safe. Look up those specifications for the specific model, especially if it features decorations or a special finish.
Complete the coffee moment
Keep the presentation simple: place the cups on their saucers, add spoons, and serve something small on a suitable dish. With a tray, you can bring the components to the table in an organized way. Leave enough space to put cups down safely.
