goblet

So beautiful even when not in use that it makes you happy

Considering the mug's form even when it's not in use

When buying something, you probably imagine yourself using it, but also try to imagine how it looks when not in use. Then, I think the idea of "this will do" will disappear.
I named the beauty of an object even when not in use "Idling Beauty," and this became the concept for the Goblet.
The Goblet comes in two shapes. The one with the narrower opening is a mug, and the one with the wider opening is a cup. When placed side-by-side, they are designed to fit snugly together with the same curve.

A gift for coffee lovers

Actually, I added a little playful touch to the cup itself. After finishing your drink, the small amount of coffee remaining at the bottom collects to form the shape of a coffee bean. The cup is a little smaller than the mug, so it's a refill indicator for your second cup from the pot. lol
The sights we take in really boost our spirits, don't they? This is a gift from me, using my little trick, for fellow coffee lovers.

A mug that somehow makes coffee taste better

Because I love coffee and interiors so much

"If I'm going to hand-drip a meticulously prepared coffee, I want to be particular about the mug and have a highly decorative design."
With this thought in mind, I (shop owner Murakami), who loves coffee and interiors, produced the Goblet.
Made in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, it is a reliable product made in Japan.
The Goblets in pop colors sold at the interior shop vanilla are special order colors exclusive to vanilla. Of course, they are also authentic Goblets.

Colors named after desserts to enjoy with coffee

Strangely, I've been getting more comments saying that coffee tastes better. I believe this is because people are also enjoying coffee with their eyes. I'm so happy about that.
The oh Goblet comes in two color variations. Named after desserts that pair well with coffee, they are called Brownie and Mont Blanc. Perhaps that's also a magic trick to make coffee taste better.
Since the Goblet is almost entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans, it can also be considered a craft item. It took a lot of effort and many failures to complete. I can't express enough gratitude.
While it is finally becoming stable, the limit is still about 100 pieces per mold per month. So, they are rare mugs and cups even when new.

An interior-worthy silhouette and a sophisticated matte finish

Color selection from an interior design perspective

As someone (shop owner Murakami) who used to work at an interior shop, I wanted coffee cups to have a unique, interior-design element.
I was drawn to the sculptural, flowing and distinct shapes of designer chairs (such as Eames chairs and Panton chairs). However, I ideally wanted a chic color palette that would also complement Scandinavian-style interiors.
Thus, I decided on Brownie, a deep brown that is almost black, and Mont Blanc, a grayish color that is less sweet than beige. Compared to monochrome colors like white, black, and gray, these "nuance colors," which are a step before monochrome, blend better with interiors and foster a sense of attachment. This is another interior design perspective.
Since both the shape and color have an object-like interior quality, please don't put them away in a cupboard when not in use; instead, place them somewhere visible. They'll look great.
Actually, there was another hint for the design. Truly delicious coffee tastes good even when it's cold, and you can even taste its sweetness. This enjoyment is much like drinking wine.
Yes. Wine glasses were also a source of inspiration.

Matte yet stain-resistant and dishwasher-safe

Because I drink coffee every day, practicality was also a consideration

Even though "Idling Beauty" prioritizes aesthetics, practicality is also carefully considered. After all, I use it myself every day.
People are often surprised, but it's both dishwasher and microwave safe. Although the material is ceramic, both the exterior and interior are thoroughly coated with glaze.
Also, matte dishes are often said to stain easily, aren't they? This was the area I paid the most attention to. The Goblet's matte finish isn't rough; it's smooth. It's a carefully crafted glaze finish that won't absorb stains. Even so, it might discolor somewhat with long-term use, but that's one of the joys of aging, like brass, genuine leather, or denim. Incidentally, I've been using the Mont Blanc color almost every day for over a year, and so far, I haven't seen any discoloration.

Thick coffee mugs are perfect for relaxing

Thick ceramic mugs, which are quite heavy, have better heat retention than glass or thin porcelain mugs, allowing you to leisurely enjoy your coffee time.
If you find the base of the handle hot when pouring hot coffee, please read this blog post on how to hold it without feeling the heat.

The Goblet cup is designed so that the small amount of coffee remaining after you finish drinking forms the shape of a coffee bean. We hope you enjoy the lingering impression and go, "Oh!"

Of course, tea is also delicious. Since a characteristic of the Goblet is that it gathers aromas, your favorite tea might taste even better.

How about a coffee break with a snack, using the oval plate W20 (20cm) as a saucer for your Goblet cup?

Pour drip coffee into a thermos, and then gradually into a slightly smaller cup than a mug. This is the secret to drinking freshly brewed coffee multiple times.

Once washed and dry, instead of putting them away in the cupboard, try placing them somewhere visible. They'll create a stylish interior as an object!

Chai in a Mont Blanc color is very stylish. On a hot summer day in an air-conditioned room, spiced Prana Chai is the way to go!

Somehow, this combination is always popular. It exhibits "idling beauty" (a beautiful appearance while waiting to be used) on a stainless steel kitchen counter.

When you pour a lot of hot coffee, the bottom of the handle gets hot, but holding it like this solves the problem. First, try it with water.

A coffee break that engages all five senses

Even though I always go through the trouble of weighing the beans, grinding them, and hand-dripping coffee for three minutes, I somehow just used whatever cup I had at home. I always felt something was off about that. One day, I thought, "Alright, let's make a mug that will make my usual coffee taste even better." That was the beginning of this product.
This matte Goblet, created out of a deep love for coffee. The smooth, elegant texture and pale Mont Blanc color pair perfectly with light roast coffee. As it cools, the wine-like aroma and sweetness become more pronounced, so you might even try holding it like a wine glass. Conversely, the Brownie, which is matte yet has a perceived luster, is ideal for medium-dark to dark roast coffees. Savor the fragrant aftertaste while nibbling on high-cacao chocolate.
Of course, tea or even chai in winter would be excellent too. It's incredibly soothing.

We often receive comments from customers like, "My daily coffee has become more delicious!" Of course, there's no scientific basis for this. However, it's certainly true that the aroma and taste of coffee somehow feel different...
Please compare them yourself.
