About ACF & Z Caffè:

ACF Porcellane is a historic Italian ceramics company known for producing top-quality porcelain specifically for espresso and cappuccino service. Since the mid-20th century, ACF has supplied cafés and espresso bars across Europe with durable, heat-retaining cups designed for commercial use.

The Z Caffè logo seen here is associated with Italian espresso brand Zicaffè S.p.A., founded in 1929 in Marsala, Sicily. Known for their bold, Southern Italian roasts, Zicaffè partnered with ceramic makers like ACF to distribute branded cups to cafés and promotional outlets. This particular logo style—featuring a sombrero on the “Z”—was likely produced between the 1980s and early 2000s, during a period of international expansion.

These cups were not sold retail, but rather distributed directly to cafes, making them rare finds in private hands today.
