Introducing expressed milk to 6 month old

Hi,
Looking for some advice please.
My 6m old is EBF and I don’t express so he’s never tried taking milk from a bottle.
However, to gain a bit more freedom, I’ve decided to start expressing and freezing so I can be away from little one for longer on the odd occasion.
We’ll be starting weaning soon so I’ll be introducing water from a cup alongside his solid meals but just wondering if it’s worth giving him expressed milk in something like a cup and skip introducing bottles altogether? I also appreciate as he’s never had a bottle, he may reject it anyway!
If so, does anyone have any recommendations for what cup to use for his milk (unsure whether he’ll drink it cold so maybe a cup that can allow for warm milk?)
Digressing slightly, I’m undecided whether to carry on giving him expressed milk vs cows milk once he’s one years old- I’ve weighed up the pros and cons but just interested to hear other thoughts on this.
Thank you!
