The golden cup from A Visit to Illy Gallery in New York

You know what's really unbelievable about this cup, besides the price? Look closely at what appears to be a gold dot on the front of the cup. No, it's not a dot... it's a hole. Apparently the left-handed artist believed that ristrettos are the only way to drink espresso (or they're really fond of expensive dribble cups ).

This is where it counts (according to The Coffee Collective):

The handle is 135 (not 90) dg off to the right, so the cups can be put closely together on the cup warmer tray and still have the logo facing forward.

Wow. I seriously need one of these--in, like, the $1.98 version. It's a reaffirmation of left-handed espresso "rights" while completely and thoroughly indulging my struggle against the anti-lefty conspiracy. Somewhere out there in yard sale land....

We lefties get to view the blank side while enjoying our shots, only getting to appreciate the logos we've chosen to embrace while they sit on top of our machines or during shot pours

Drink the espresso sitting in front of a mirror? At least you'd get to see a mirror-image logo....

Thanks to this thread, now I have real hopes for my long waiting turkish curve radically conical tamper design!

That would work perfectly with the Intelly Wings, but your picture also points out an unwanted side effect--backwards latte art. :lol:
