WBC Standard Cappuccino Cups by Tiamo – 150cc & 200cc

If you’ve ever watched a World Barista Championship (WBC) round and wondered what those clean, white cappuccino cups are—this is them. Competitors don’t just grab any mug; they use standardized gear to ensure fairness and clarity in judging. Among the essentials is the Tiamo cappuccino cup set, officially recognized by WBC and used on global stages.

The Tiamo cappuccino cup set includes two classic ceramic cups in the exact volumes baristas compete with: 150cc and 200cc. These are the official sizes endorsed by WBC for cappuccino service during competitions.

What Makes the Tiamo Cappuccino Cup Set WBC-Official?

The Tiamo cappuccino cup set is explicitly listed as the “WBC” (WBC competition designated coffee cup). It comes in two capacities: 150cc and 200cc. These exact measurements are used in the cappuccino round of the World Barista Championships to maintain uniformity across all competing beverages. The set includes both a cup and saucer, maintaining the formal presentation standards expected in professional judging.

Why Ceramic? Heat Retention & Aesthetics

Made from high-quality ceramic, these cups are designed not just for looks but for performance. The material offers excellent insulation and heat retention, meaning your espresso-based drinks—especially cappuccinos—stay warmer for longer. That’s critical in coffee service, where temperature affects both taste and texture. The classic white ceramic also provides a neutral backdrop that highlights the coffee’s crema and texture, making it easier for judges (or customers) to appreciate the layers in a well-pulled shot and properly textured milk.

How to Use the Tiamo Cappuccino Cups

These cups are intended for cappuccinos and other espresso-based drinks served in competition or high-end cafe settings. The 150cc size is the traditional volume for a WBC cappuccino, closely followed by the 200cc option for those preferring a slightly larger drink. Use them with freshly pulled espresso and expertly textured microfoam to experience the design purpose: showcasing balance, color contrast, and the precision of the drink’s construction. The included saucer completes the presentation, keeping the serving neat and professional.

Are These Cups Only for Competition?

No. While they are WBC official, these Tiamo cups are equally suited for home or café use. Their classic design, reliable ceramic build, and proper size make them ideal for serving cappuccinos, lattes, or even flat whites outside of competition. They’re practical for everyday use and make a thoughtful gift for coffee enthusiasts or professionals.
