Hi,

What is your favorite size cup? and brand? Just curious what others prefer.

For espresso, my favorite at the moment is the Inker Ischia Macchiato cup - I picked up a couple of them at Clive, and I'm liking them a lot.

For straight espresso shots and flat whites, I am using Rattleware Coffee House Collection 3-1/2 ounce porcelain cups from Amazon. For cappuccinos, I am using 11 oz. Apilco Très Grande 11 oz. porcelain cups from Williams-Sonoma.

Running a mix of espresso cups here.

Gmundner Keramik espressotassen.
These are handmade Austrian classics. About 80ml capacity. Holds a double espresso nicely.

ACF Tulip Espresso cups
No longer in production, these are typical Italian cups. Absolutely bombproof. Mine are around 10 years old and look new. These are around 70ml.

Ever since the Wendelboe videos, I use 5oz cap cups for espresso 90% of the time.
ACF, Inker and NotNeutral(with Intelligentsia logos)

I go back to regular espresso cups every now and then so they don't feel ignored

Big fan of my new ACME 5.5oz cups in numerous colours!

I got these 3oz green striped diner ware cups that go with my dishes. It's a perfect macchiatto size, but they work well for doubles as well. I bought a box of 3 dozen, and I don't have the saucers yet, because I didn't feel like buying 3 dozen saucers as well, and they only come in 3 dozen. I'll get them eventually, and probably get rid of a bunch, but I'll keep a couple dozen for hosting parties. I also have 3 6oz dozen coffee cups I bought for my wedding party. Restaurant ware is quite affordable, and it was cheaper than renting,

To sum up: There is no consensus on the best cup

Not Neutral Lino cups. We use the large latte size. Very nice cups, well designed and fits the hand nicely. Super smooth glaze, an all around great cup. I never would have thought a cup would make a difference in the enjoyment factor but it does.

This is my d'ANCAP set. If I only had the car to match.

C'est moi.
