Pretty and downright graceful in size. When I was smooth, I wondered if there was enough foam in there, but after a double run, I still had another mocha left. For me, as a first time smooth and used to bigger mugs, the first feeling was strange, but I learned to use it very quickly, at least with a synthetic brush that you dare to press more into the cup. I don't dare to use so much pressure on a woolly bristle mug or similar and this one doesn't fit, a textured mug or similar might be better for such a mug (speculation, I haven't tried it yet).
