In looking for Italian espresso cups, there are quite a number of things that you should take note of with the espresso cups you'll buy.
Construction or material - Most Italian espresso cups are made of porcelein since they're good for retaining heat. There are some that use Borosilicate glass, which is fairly new in espresso cups. In terms of where it is made, we like the ones made in Italy or Germany. In buying a set, not all will look exactly alike for reasons likeit's hand made or mouth blown just make sure it has no blemishes.
Hand Feel - Does it feel too light? You're enjoying the moment with your espresso and you want your espresso cups to feel as secure as possible. Just the right weight and the right handle size for your hand.
Thickness / Heat Retention - Thick walled or Double walled? A thicker cup will hold the temperature of the espresso better than a thin walled cup. Borosilicate glass is used for dobled walled cups and really holds the temperature of your drinks whether cold or hot.
Aesthetics - Do you like nice looking Italian espresso cups? I do. This will be part of you everyday and you want to have your espresso in a cup that is very pleasing to the eyes.
Quality - Some brands that come to mind when we want quality for espresso cups are Illy, Bodum, Rosanna, Rancili, Ritzenhoff and Gaggia. They make sure that you get what you pay for and the won't sacrifice quality just to make a profit.
Price - What is your budget? You can get a set of 6 below $25 and you can also get a set of 2 for over $50. The price range is quite far and it can even go over a hundred dollars. Why? This is where all the factors discussed come in - quality, design etc. Some are even collector's item that makes it really expensive.
