This is why the cups that make up a coffee service are commonly called cups . The cups may come in a variable number, but usually the cup sets have a number of elements for 6, 12 or 18 people . The most complete sets are then composed not only of cups, but also saucers coordinates, tray coordinated, sugar bowl e milk jug .

Usually we recommend the purchase of at least two sets of coffee cups , one for daily use and the other to use instead on special occasions. I coffee sets for everyday use are generally composed of only 6 ceramic or glass cups, transparent or colored , with simple shapes or a little more bizzare. Coffee sets for sporadic use instead, they are usually sets composed of 12 cups plus the saucers, the tray, the jug of milk and the sugar bowl usually in fine white porcelain.
