Thin cup rims are essential for a good drinking experience. Thick walls maintain the heat. The rounded inner shape of the cup helps produce the perfect crema on coffee made with an espresso machine and makes stirring a pleasure. The handle is designed for a comfortable grip and allows the cup to be held easily in any position while drinking. The espresso cup holds 50 ml espresso and just a little bit of air for the aroma to develop. The CAFÉ SOMMELIER espresso doppio set includes two espresso doppio cups and two matching saucers à 11.7 cm. In the beginning there was coffee.
