chris c asked about the cups being used in the sunbeam demo at the show.

ran across this auction of a set that looks like it may be the same pattern.

again, they look to be i.p.a. ottavia.

Thanks ideor! The auction appears to have been for Nuova Point cups.

I'll keep my eye out for those IPA ones though.... Anyone know where you can buy them in Canada (or even the US, with the exchange rate these days)?

Thanks,
Chris

hello chris c,

you might have a go at emailing the factory to see if they can tell you who the agent(s) is/are for canada. it may turn out that they do not stock the ottavia and you will needs be venture further afield...

one snag i have run into in the past when searching for a particular imported product is that the factory is honour bound to refer you to the agent for your country even when that agent does not carry the specific product you want. it can be a vicious circle.
