Your favorite cup for your espresso drinks...

Do you have a favorite style, a particular size, material you need your cups made from or any other special must have for your Coffee Bar be it for yourself or company. Thanks, ginny

The smaller cup was actually made by my dad (pottery is his hobby) and is a little large for just espresso, but works well for a macchiato or cordato/flat white. The small cup has a handle big enough to get a finger through, and nice thick walls to keep the espresso hot, plus my dad made it, so it's that much more awesome in my eyes. Another cool thing about my dad's cup, it isn't plain white! It has color to it! Also I work at water treatment plant seasonally, which is where I came by my regular coffee mug, and puts the text on it in context.

My favorite looking cup however is from Illy! -Jon Honey badger 1k, Bunn LPG-2E, Technivorm, Cimbali Max Hybrid, Vibiemme Double Domo V3

I love being able to see the "guiness" effect of the crema while pulling the shot. It never fails to amaze me. As far as insulation goes, it could not be better; it is almost too good. If I preheat the cups, the shot will be too hot to sip for a few minutes and then the crema will have dissipated! Oh, the horror! So I no longer preheat those cups. The only mark against the cups is how light they are compared to the hefty the porcelain demitasse. In regards to favorite coffee cup, it would have to be the 5 oz glass double walled mug from, yet again, bodum. The heat retention is superb, just like the smaller 2 oz. Being able to see the clarity of my cloth filtered coffee and how it catches the light in the morning is always a high point of my day. Second in line is my regular glass mug. Glass seems to be the theme here. Coffee is beautiful, why hide it?

Yesterday at dinner out with my daughter, we enjoyed Vietnamese cuisine. It was a cold and rainy day and the server that took our order asked if I wanted a hot or cold Vietnamese coffee. Having never heard of the hot Vietnamese coffee, (I do love both the iced Vietnamese and Thai iced coffees and teas), I ordered it. It was brought to me in a glass cup without a handle. I couldn't hold it without grabbing the napkin! Not sure what they were thinking to serve it like that. Enjoyed the coffee though. Gotta say, I prefer it iced. Bialetti Moka Pot, Aeropress, Gene Cafe Roaster, Hario Skerton Grinder as it came, and Kyocera CM-50 with Orphan Espresso bearing upgrade for medium and coarse grind, Orphan Espresso Pharos

I agree on the porcelain. for me it is the only material I drink from, my espresso/cafe crema at any rate. metal, glass just don't cut it for me. the review I am working on will be 5 or 6 of the players on the market that seem to never get any press. 3oz to 6oz porcelain cups only... waiting to get the remainder so I can complete the article. thanks for responding, I appreciate it very much. ginny

I have 3 that my brother gave me. Arcoroc made them. They fit under a grouphead. They have excellent thermal retention. Ginny. I am looking forward to your article. Hopefully it will answer a couple questions I have about the demitasse. Thank you! Bad coffee prevails when good coffee roasters stand by and do nothing.
