It has been a hectic and successful twelve months for Ancap cups since their launch at The Melbourne International Coffee Expo last year. In a short time, Ancap have established themselves as the cup of choice for many of the country’s top roasters and baristas.
For over 50 years Ancap has been one of the leading Italian manufacturers of Italian high grade porcelain products. Ancap cups are not only 100% designed and made in Italy, they also rely on feedback from baristas in the design and shape of each cup. Even the inside design of the cup is based around maintaining the crema and body of the coffee.
We are a member of The Australasian Specialty Coffee Association AASCA, Specialty Coffee Associaton of Europe (SCAE) and Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA).
Ancap has also invested heavily in supporting both the international and local coffee industry through initiatives with local bodies and coffee events. In Australia, Ancap sponsor the Australian Latte Art Championship, Australian Chain Barista Championship, the World Latte Art Championship and most recently an exciting opportunity as ceramic cup sponsor at the Natvia Golden Bean Coffee Roaster Competition, which will be held in sunny Port Macquarie in October. There are very few other cup suppliers that can boast such a list of support.
Locally Ancap cups are used by many of the country’s top roasters and baristas. In fact, our own Paul Bassett used Ancap cups to win the World Barista Championship in 2003 and more recently, Matt Perger at the 2013 World Barista Championship in Melbourne.
With our own design and manufacturing plant, Ancap can work with roasters to produce custom branded cups, with logos kiln fired at over 1200 °C. Firing at such a high temperature creates what is known as an “in glazing” effect, where the logos become part of the cup. The logos will last the life time of the cup without fading.
