Cups, which have an important place in the coffee culture, have also changed over time with the diversification and innovations in the coffee culture. In this study, the history of coffee was investigated by making literature researches. In addition, literature research on cup types and cup design that is identified with coffee has been made and original cup design applications, which are suitable for today with mud lathe, which is a traditional shaping method, are included. The aim of the study is to transfer these values to future generations by making designs suitable for the present with the traditional ceramic shaping method of the cup used in the presentation of coffee, which has preserved its value from the past to the present.
