Reddit mentions: The best demitasse cups

As a Spaniard (where cortado comes from) I think the best one is the "Libby Gibraltar Glass". It's the most common shape used in Spain when not using a white cup.

The other super common shape is completely round.

We use these ones at home to make cortados since we don't put as much milk as the usual cortado.

DeVinezi espresso cups. Got them from Amazon on a deal, can't remember the number, but certainly less than 20$.

My shop serves espresso in these little guys! Maybe not this particular brand but they look pretty darn close.

We also use small, rounded 6oz ceramic mugs for caps and macchiatos.

Pretty sure ref= isn't proof it's a reference link since I'm not part of the affiliate program and it's in links I share.

Maybe it's the link ID section that is missing from my link that makes it an affiliate link?

Edit

According to this 2018 article it's the tag= that makes it an affiliate link

The vacuum insulated ones will be better at holding temperature than a non-vacuum double walled cup. But not as good as a covered mug, of course.

If you want a good non-nestle alternative to nespresso, look at the Lavazza Blue espresso maker. We have one of these in my office and it makes fairly decent espresso.

These are similar, but I can't find the original cups. It's probably Starbucks' own design that they don't permit their supplier to sell.
