When it comes to drinking espresso, no ordinary cup will quite do. Espresso needs to be sipped slowly, not gulped down hungrily. But if they use a regular teacup, their espresso will be cold before they've swallowed the last drop.

Espresso drinkers know this all too well. Fortunately, they have an option. And this option is called the espresso cup, designed specifically with the espresso lover in mind. And espresso drinkers the world over are scooping up these items faster than someone can yell, 'Come and get it.' What these cups allow them to do is enjoy their drink at their own pace. The first thing users will notice about espresso cups is that they are extremely small, much smaller, in fact, than a teacup. The reason for this is that a little bit of espresso goes a long way. Espresso cups also tend to be noticeably thicker than regular teacups so as to better hold in the heat. Because a lukewarm cup of espresso is not a pleasant thing to have to stomach, espresso drinkers should fork over the money needed to purchase a set or two.
