Koppen – hjertet i unika:k
Vidste du, at det var koppen, der startede idéen til unika:k? Vores K står for kop, keramik og kunsthåndværk – og koppen har altid haft en særlig plads hos os.
En kop er ikke bare en kop. Vi har den i hånden flere gange hver dag, og glæden ved at drikke af en kop, der føles rigtig, er noget helt særligt. Hver kop i vores udvalg er håndlavet og skabt med fokus på form, glasur og den gode fornemmelse i hånden.
Uanset om det er morgenkaffen, en stille stund i løbet af dagen eller tid sammen med familie og venner, er koppen en fast del af vores hverdag – og den fortjener at være noget særligt.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coffee Cups
We believe a good coffee cup is one that feels comfortable in your hand and has a shape that suits the coffee you're drinking. Many prefer handmade cups because they offer a better and more sensory coffee experience.
It depends on your preferred type of coffee. A classic coffee cup typically holds 2–3 dl, while smaller cups are suitable for espresso and cortado.
You can also view our selection of teacups if you primarily drink tea.
Most can, but we also recommend washing by hand occasionally to keep the cup looking beautiful for as long as possible. Cups with gold details are not dishwasher safe.
Handmade coffee cups will always vary slightly in shape and glaze. This is because each cup is hand-thrown, shaped, or hand-cast - one at a time. They are also glazed by hand - and that's precisely what makes each cup unique and personal. The ceramicist handles the cup many times before it is completely finished. A shortened description is as follows: the cup must first be shaped, hand-thrown or cast, then it must dry, after which it is refined/sanded, then it must be fired, then glazed, and then fired again - with other steps in between, such as attaching the handle, etc.
A cup is not 'just' a cup in our eyes.
