Classic Thick White Espresso Cups

SuperGrover

Anyone know where I can get these in Dublin?

I have the larger ones for years but can't remember where I got them.

Thanks.

I got some really nice d'Ancap ones in Brown Thomas ages ago. Not sure if they still do them.

Ordering online is probably your best bet.

Remember - inside the bottom should be rounded, and it should feel heavy for its size.

Thanks Reactor. That's the spec alright. I'll try BT. Any recommendations for a site?

American site - shipping can be very expensive:

http://www.espressoparts.com/product/020W/White_Nuova_Point_White_Demitasse_Espresso_Cup_Saucer_Set_of_6_25_Oz.html

UK crowd - http://coffeecups.co.uk/product/1

Espresso Warehouse - http://www.espressowarehouse.com/ - brilliant range - but you have to open an account.

The Nuova Point sorrento espresso cups are very highly regarded.

If you google about you might find someone willing to ship at a low cost.

Ordered some 12.5oz cups for my lattes from the UK crowd. I'll have to practice my pouring when they arrive.

12.5oz!

You're some savage :pac:

I'm a greedy git alright.

Also, pot, kettle, black etc.

12oz is perfectly acceptable.

12.5oz - utter madness!

Hey guys

First of all, I'm new to this so sorry if this has been answered somewhere else. I'm on the hunt for some brown tulip-shaped cappuccino cups (about 5oz capacity). Ideally I'd like some Nuova Point ones (the model is called Milano) but ACF would do either.

I've drawn a complete blank finding them in Europe. Espressoparts in the US are completely out of stock of Nuova Point and say that that's the case for all suppliers in the US. Espresso Warehouse in the UK don't stock the tulip shape (Milano). Orphan Espresso in the US stock ACF ones but with shipping I'd be looking at over $90 - about 68 euro - for 4 cups. And most of that is shipping.

So, does anyone know of anywhere in Europe that stocks these? Given they're Italian brands, SOMEONE must...

Thanks all

Mr Magnolia

Hrm, have you had a look through the links in the online suppliers sticky yet?

Any pictures of the type you're looking for?

queenmeabh

Have just gone through all of the coffee equipment suppliers in the sticky - no joy. But thanks for the sticky - reckon those suppliers might come in very handy for other things!

I'm having trouble adding a photo - the system seems to be looking for a URL but that doesn't work. How do I add an image?

JIZZLORD

copy the image location and type

straight outa tkmaxx yo!

Mr Magnolia

Put the url of the image inside [noparse][img][/img][/noparse] tags. That's the webpage you've inserted.

This it?

I got some of the white sorrento NP cups from Espresso Warehouse previously.

The things are very hard to get a hold of - I haven't found another EU online retailer doing them.

queenmeabh

ok so my attempt at a photo didn't work but yep Mr Magnolia, that's the cup I'm after. I know Espresso Warehouse have the sorrento cups but they're just not the same.... I may just have to take a deep breath and order ACF ones for 67 euro... and warn the coffee maker in the house that they cost a fortune and to be careful!
