Beautifully crafted handmade pottery cup praised for its aesthetic design and tactile feel. Customers said it "makes enjoying cacao just a little bit more special." However, some noted heat retention issues - the thin walls make it very hot to hold initially and cacao cools quickly. Dishwasher safe and perfect size for ritual drinking.
Very pretty little cup that’s been getting a fair bit of use 💗 super happy it can go in the dishwasher too 😂
The Daintree cacao is delicious,and adding this cup to my ritual makes it super special. I find I have slowed right down, and make time to sit for a few moments to appreciate the delicious drink. I highly recommend making your own ritual around this very special beverage. Thanks Soma Cacao!
I absolutely love the shape of the cup — it’s such a beautiful piece. Unfortunately, it gets too hot to comfortably hold, which makes it hard to actually use. I was really hoping the pottery would handle heat a bit better. It’s a lovely design, I just wish it were more practical.
Hi Rae, Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re glad to hear you love the shape of the cup. A lot of care went into the design, and we agree that it's pretty special.
You’re right that when a very hot drink is poured into ceramic, the cup itself can become quite warm to hold. Everyone’s sensitivity to heat is a little different, so we appreciate you pointing this out. These cups are handmade pieces of pottery, so we aimed to balance aesthetics with function, but feedback like this is genuinely helpful for us as we think about future iterations.
Thank you again for the thoughtful review.
Beautiful cocoa mug, absolutely love it ♥️
Love my cup and my Mexican that bought it with. I mix a little local honey which is infused with orange for sweetness, so good
Perfect size and beautifully made

Soma's wholesome, hand-made signature cup is the best way to drink the decadent Soma Cacao. I love it!!!
I have and use both the small and medium cups. I love the shape and the swirling design and the tactile feel of the smooth glaze and raw finish clay. They are beautiful and cosy to cup in your hands. However, I do find that the cacao goes cold quickly in the small cup, and that they are both quite thin-walled and thus, very hot to handle initially. I like to drink my cacao hot during a quiet ceremony and find that generic handle-free mugs keep my cacao hotter for longer without burning my hands. This is my only real qualm, though. Still love them both. Would still recommend both, but handle with care.
I bought this kit for my niece for Christmas so it hasn’t been used yet. It’s gorgeous though and I think she will really like it.
This beautiful cup is very tactile and fits perfectly in my hand. It makes enjoying my cacao just a little bit more special.
Beautiful hand made pottery cups. The Soma Cacao Signature Cup creates an atmosphere of a special event for hot chocolate. Purchased as a gift with a trial pack of cacao.
