Cup and glass set

Hello dear coffee friends!
I thank you first of all for the great tips, which I could take from this forum so far. Yesterday I decided to buy a Jura S9. Now I have a question. I am looking for a cup / glass set which represents an optimal price/performance ratio. The cheap cups have already scratched the aluminium plate and I once heard that the bottom of a quality cup leaves no traces. Is there perhaps even a set which includes coffee, cappuccino and espresso cups as well as latte macchiato glasses? The budget for the fully automatic machine is of course exhausted, so I'm looking for the price banger! ;-)
Thanks and Greetings
Christian

I think you can't avoid n
scarring. Especially if the cup parking area is only made of aluminium.
The parking area of my Primadonna is made of chromed cast iron.
Even there are scratches on it. And I don't believe that expensive cups don't leave scratches.
It's just a commodity.

The drip tray of the S9 is not made of aluminium, but of polished stainless steel. Alu would be even more sensitive and much too light.

Hello!
Thanks for the answers! Probably this cannot be avoided even with quality cups and the drip tray is certainly not made of aluminium.
The good porcelain does not leave scratches is based on the statement of a kitchen salesman. In the meantime, worktops made of glass are becoming fashionable. If you put cheap cups on it, scratches appear. Branded porcelain is so well processed (sanded) that these cups do not cause scratches. I adapted this statement to the sheet metal.
Nevertheless I am looking for a cup and glass set. If still who knows a good dealer...
Thanks and greetings

Well, I've been looking for good latte glasses forever, too. I finally opted for Leonardo glasses. They have 1. a handle (I find very important when I drink tea) and see 2. not so bad and simple.

also available in 3 sizes:
Esspresso, medium and large.
You can buy them at Müller or Galeria Kaufhof if you don't want to order them online.
