Espresso Cups
Serve your java in style with beautiful, elegant
espresso cups. You can find a great selection of espresso cups that are cute,
elegant, trendy or classic. The best espresso cups available are double-layered
to hold in the heat and to keep your espresso hotter longer. You can find
double-layered cups in glass as well as ceramic, and there are a great variety
of designs to choose from. You can match your espresso cups with your coffee
cups, or let them stand on their own to make a unique statement.
Espresso cups are also referred to as "demitasse" cups and hold about 2 or 3
ounces of fluid. Cappuccino mugs, are larger, and contain 6 to 8 ounces.
Cappuccino is actually espresso mixed with hot milk, which explains the larger
size of cappuccino mugs. Both Cappuccino and espresso cups are available in
glass, and there are many types of glass mugs and cups available. The classic
glass espresso cup is a small glass cup with chrome handles and trimming. These
often have "little feet" at the bottom, or the cups can be placed flat on a
table. A very trendy design is a glass, egg-shaped espresso cup without handles.
Or you can purchase little mug-shaped espresso cups with matching plates. You
can find clear glass, tinted glass or blue glass espresso cups.
Ceramic espresso cups are widely available, and can be purchased in classic
white with gold trim, or in more bold designs. Italian style espresso cups have
solid colors on the outside and egg white interior, or you can purchase espresso
cups with Italian scenes painted on the outside. Many ceramic espresso cups have
art prints on the outside, and there are also novelty espresso cups designed by
well-known artists. Perhaps you prefer a more classic design. While Victorian
designs might seem more appropriate for teacups, delicate petals and leaf
designs give your espresso set a springtime, feminine look. Classic Dutch blue
and white ceramic design looks smart and crisp, and is an excellent accent to
your kitchen set. Whatever type of ceramic espresso cups you choose, make sure
that your ceramic espresso cups are dishwasher safe so the design won't fade.
For something different, try stainless steel espresso cups with chrome handles
and matching saucers. Blue stoneware espresso cups have a natural look and are a
good accompaniment to organic espresso and a whole wheat biscotti. You can find
espresso cups made out of unique materials that transcend the common choices of
ceramic and glass. You might have to look a bit harder, but if originality is
important to you, it is not hard to find what you are looking for.
An attractive way to store and display your espresso cups is on a stylish
espresso cup "tree" that can usually store up to six cups with the matching
saucers stacked in the middle. You can find these trees in chrome or silver;
make sure that they are rust resistant, since they will most likely be placed
close to a kitchen sink or a place where there will be a lot of moisture. You
can choose revolving or stationary espresso cup trees in various colors, styles
and designs.
Once you have found attractive espresso cups to complete the look of your dining
ware, invite some guest over to enjoy espresso in your new cups. You will be
amazed at how much more special espresso and dessert will be when served on
special plates and cups, and make sure you keep the details of where you ordered
your espresso cups and the name of the brand and the style so you can order
more.
