My wife's set of two espresso cups/saucers just arrived. It's a birthday present from our daughter. My wife has Le Creuset pots and pans and these match the color. It is called "palm". They are 60 ml capacity stoneware from Le Crueset and one of the cups weighed in at about 106 grams. The good thing is, wife doesn't drink espresso shots, but I do

nice. (bit much, 2 doubles at a time but hey, then you get to chase the grandchildren? )

Grandchildren, yes! Flying out next week to see one of them.

I'm a big fan of the Le Creuset cups - we have the capp cups and they've been solid for 3+ years of use. They also go well colour-wise with the Acme offerings.

Too bad they're not enameled cast-iron so you can get your coffee and workout in one.

I admit to looking for this style of cups to cool down espresso quickly... some tea cups are almost what I want, but not quite.
Nice cups!

We've got their big brothers.

Can you actually fit your finger in the handle? So far none of the various cups I've used work that way for me. Acme are the closest but just a bit small.

I'm sorry, I'm out of town/state for two weeks so I can not check for you. I only had the opportunity to use it once and I don't recall just how big the handle was. It will be April 14th or so before I can check for you. I think they were ordered/bought at bed, bath, and beyond.

I'm still visiting out of state in Key West, Florida. I have found a small coffee/donut shop called the, "the Glazed Donut". It is a nice little donut shop that serves very good espresso. This morning my double shot was served in a stainless steel double walled cup. The handle is big enough for your finger to go thru.

The barista said he got them from Crate and Barrel.

I did not ask about the saucers, but don't think they are part of the set.


This little shop does use a two group Rancilio lever for their machine. Check them out if in Key West.
