does anyone sell Handsome Coffee Roaster cups? surely they must have had a few left over what with the transition...or are they still using the same cups at the new blue bottle?

Got a note from them this evening and they are shipping a cup out today. Very responsive.

That's great! I'm glad Not Neutral has such great customer service... I'll definitely be purchasing their 6oz cappuccino cups when I get my setup. Thanks for the follow-up!

You should see the coffee mug I have been using for the past 6 ot 7 years in the office. It is crazed so bad on the inside it looks like an aerial map of the amazon river. Still works. My daughter got it for me long, long ago so I have no intention of replacing it. I also like the saying on the outside. 'You know you have drank too much coffee when you dont sweat, you percolate.'

I just opened my small cafe in our area. I had been struggling looking for the perfect cup for takeaway. I'm very particular with the kind materials used for a cup & it's style. So I came across with Mycafesupplies and I love their cups - sturdy, environment-friendly and affordable! Been using them for more than six months.

I found a Canadian online reseller but the sticker shock is pretty hefty for a ceramic cup. http://www.eightouncecoffee.ca/index.cf ... me--co.cfm

Anyone else ever try these cups?

Those cups are up there alright. Are they heavy like old Jadeite restaurant ware or heavier? The blue tulip cups are sweet.

You maybe referencing the Ironstone brand/type lunch counter coffee mugs.

I picked up a few of Acme's demitasse and flat white cups on a trip to New Zealand and love them! I need to order some of their larger cups too.

I like Illy's espresso, cappuccino, and mugs. Good balance, a bit of panache, and consistency across all cups. This last point is important (or at least pleasing) to me. Possible to mix and match drinks and maintain aesthetic feeling of a "set."

There is a very recent thread which I cannot find. I wanted to post this to that one. Maybe they should be merged.

I look out for ACF cups. That company got wall thickness right. I splurged on the Caffe Vita cup but the bowl was $.50 at local junk shop.

Here is also one that I get a kick out of: Tiki from Italy by way of the Vineyard Haven thrift shop for $1.50
