Things to Consider When Shopping the Best Espresso Cups

What constitutes the best espresso cups will largely be based on your specific needs. Consider the following tips to ensure you make the right purchase.

The Size

The most obvious consideration is cup size. This will be based on how much espresso you normally drink. The most common espresso cup sizes are a demitasse cup which holds about 2-3 ounces of espresso and the standard 8 oz cup.

The Shape

Beyond aesthetics, there’s many reasons to choose the shape of your espresso cup wisely. After all, it’s all chemistry. That being the case, the shape and overall design of your espresso cup can have many effects. From heat retention and crema buoyancy to being spill proof, it’s important to consider what matters most to you. A tapered bottom allows crema to float to the top while a rounded bottom allows you to easily swirl the liquid without it flying out of the cup.

Some of the most popular espresso cup shapes are the standard circular cup, handled barrel cup, and tulip cup.

The Material

Back to the topic of chemistry. Every material has its pros and cons which make answering the question of “what’s the best material for an espresso cup” a difficult one. From glass and ceramic to porcelain and metal, you’ll need to weigh the costs and benefits of each to determine which is best for you. Porcelain is widely regarded as one of the best materials for espresso cups.  The reason for this is that it retains heat well and more importantly, evenly. When heat is uniformly distributed, the espresso tastes much better.

Choose Your Style of Espresso Cup

Buying a stylish espresso cup is an opportunity for you to “espress” yourself. As you can imagine, espresso cups come in many different styles and span the gamut of designs. From ornately designed espresso cups that look like belong in the queen’s tea room to simple double walled espresso mugs from illy, there are certainly plenty of options to choose from. I’m personally a fan of double walled espresso mugs given how they can keep your espresso hot while keeping the outside of the cup cool.
