How to choose espresso cups
How big is an espresso cup?
An espresso cup usually holds between 60 and 90 ml, just right for a single or double espresso. The small size keeps the espresso hot and concentrated, unlike larger cups intended for cappuccino or latte.
Why are espresso cups often thick-walled?
Thick-walled porcelain retains heat better and for longer, ensuring your espresso doesn't cool down too quickly before you have a chance to drink it.
