One more.... Ristretto this time... Caffe Lusso Lionshare

But not sure why I now feel like chasing it down with a shot of tequila....or whiskey... or something...

Those are out of stock, but someone in another forum got them and confirmed that they are exactly the same dimensions.

70 mm wide
40 mm tall

Here are the photos he shared...

I ended up ordering these from eBay

Cost of shipping was more than the actual cost of the cups... all white, but that is okay. Maybe down the line I can find them in a different color.

Also, in case anyone is interested... got confirmation from Machina in the UK.

The Inker Wave is the same size (40 mm tall and 70 mm wide) but the cup has thinner walls than what the Ischia had... so those were a no-go for me... too bad as that was a nice blue...

Well... I got a reply from Nuova Ricambi... their US distributor is Sproparts ( https://www.sproparts.com/ ) and they carry that IPA cup (item number 200306)...

I did not get a shipping cost estimate... but the price of the cup with saucer (in white, does not look like they have any other colors) is 5.52 and they will sell just one set. Oh, well... I got 6 coming..

The not Neutral Lino cups came yesterday. They are very solid. Unfortunately the black one was missing the handle. A new one is already on its way. Thank you for the fast response Clive Coffee!

Got the order from Espresso Parts and could not resist getting this brown one... the black one I got in Old San Juan and it turned out to be provided by them as well...

My ACF Ristretto cups are the only ones I use for straight espresso shots anymore unless I'm making an iced espresso then I use an ACF Cappuccino cup.
For lattes I have a nice blue Inker cup that I bought from 49th Parallel a "few" years ago.

Jeez! thanks

Of course.... and guess where I ordered a 6.49 part from (yesterday or the day before)? Take a wild guess...

Just for the heck of it... let me take a look at what else they have...

EDIT: Nope... I am good... still waiting for the Bisqit Ceramics to arrive (seem those are coming by foot)... and got confirmation that the Ischia cups shipped and should be here on Jun 9...

Really done for a few years after that.
