kávéscsésze

Kávéscsésze refers to a coffee cup in Hungarian. It is a small, handled cup designed for serving and drinking hot beverages, most commonly coffee. The size and shape of a kávéscsésze can vary, with smaller, more delicate versions often used for espresso or strong coffee, while slightly larger ones might be employed for filtered coffee or cappuccinos. Historically, coffee cups have been made from a variety of materials including ceramic, porcelain, and sometimes metal. The design often incorporates a handle to protect the user's hand from the heat of the beverage. In Hungarian culture, the kávéscsésze is an integral part of the coffee-drinking ritual, often enjoyed during social gatherings, breaks, or as a morning start. The specific type of kávéscsésze used can sometimes reflect the type of coffee being served and the occasion. Beyond its practical function, the kávéscsésze can also be an aesthetic object, with many featuring decorative patterns or intricate designs. The term itself is a direct translation, combining "kávé" (coffee) and "csésze" (cup).
