When coffee is served after a meal, a matching coffee set makes a beautiful finishing touch. The cups and saucers do not need to be exactly the same as your dinner plates to create a coordinated look. By repeating a color, material, or style, you can create a combination that suits your table.
Start with the tableware you already use
Look at the colors and shapes of your dinner plates. Do they have a distinctive design, an ornate rim, or a simple finish? Choose one feature to repeat in the coffee set. This creates cohesion without every piece needing to be identical.
White and taupe, for example, create a soft base. Blue-and-white patterns add more character. In the cups and mugs collection, you can compare sets based on their look.
The same series for a coordinated look
If you want a table where the pieces clearly belong together, look for tableware and coffee sets from the same series. The Bricard Bonnes tableware set and Bricard Bonnes coffee set both use white and taupe. The coffee set has 12 pieces and includes cups with a stated capacity of 225 ml.
The Bricard Fleury blue-and-white tableware set and Bricard Fleury blue-and-white coffee set also share a vintage look with floral and decorative motifs. This allows you to carry the style from dinner through to coffee time.
Combining different series
You can also deliberately choose a different series. For example, repeat the main color of the dinner plate in the cup or saucer. With a busy pattern, a simpler second piece helps keep the table uncluttered. A neutral coffee set can therefore be used with several different tableware sets.
Before making a choice, place images of the sets side by side. Pay attention to the warmth of the colors: a bright white and a warm white may look different together than they do separately. Also consider the cutlery and glassware.
Check how many cups the set contains
The number of pieces is the total of all components. In a set with cups and saucers, the saucers are also included in the count. A 12-piece set does not automatically mean twelve cups. Read the contents and choose based on how many people you want to serve coffee to at once.
Also consider having spares if you do not want to wash the cups between uses. For a larger group, a second set or a combination with existing cups can be useful.
Look and use go together
A beautiful set must also suit your coffee. Check the capacity, the height under your machine, and the care instructions. A 225 ml cup may be ideal for a regular coffee, but your own preparation with milk and foam will determine how much space you need.
Do not rely solely on the material when checking whether a set is dishwasher- or microwave-safe. Look up these features for the specific model, especially if it has a decoration or special finish.
Complete the coffee moment
Keep the presentation simple: place the cups on their saucers, add spoons, and serve something small on a matching dish. With a tray, you can carry the pieces to the table neatly. Leave enough space to place the cups down safely.
