2-WAYCUP Barista Series - YELLOW

The Barista Series by 2-WayCup

The 2-WayCup is an original design concept by Gary Au, a multi-award-winning Barista and Coffee in Good Spirits champion from Hong Kong, developed in collaboration with 2024 World Brewers Cup Champion Martin Wölfl. Recognized with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, the 2-WayCup has been thoughtfully elevated to deliver an enhanced tasting experience that reflects the exacting standards of two world-class champions — ensuring every sip is nothing short of exceptional.

The Barista Series by 2-WayCup is expertly crafted for specialty coffee shops and passionate coffee lovers, the Barista Series is designed to elevate every coffee experience - whether you prefer bold espresso or creamy milk-based drinks.

This innovative series features a refined shape for exceptional comfort and a distinctive 2-way drinking design that enhances both aroma and taste. Ideal for baristas, it also offers optimal canvas space for latte art, making it a perfect choice for both presentation and performance.

How Does It Work?

The design guides how coffee flows.

By directing the liquid to different areas of the tongue, the cup subtly changes how flavors are perceived, without altering the brew itself.

The narrow rim channels the drink toward the front and center of the tongue, emphasizing sweetness, intensity, and a fuller body.

The flared rim opens the flow, spreading the liquid toward the back of the tongue. This enhances aroma, brings forward floral notes, and extends the finish with a lighter, silkier mouthfeel.

Two rim profiles. Two tasting experiences.

Functions
