They are my favorite cups to drink out of. In my mind you cannot purchase a better coffee cup than Konitz, they are porcelin not ceramic which makes a differnce in taste and heat belive it or not. My wife bought me a set of these to got with our demitasse and Latte cups. I know what she paid and the price was excellent since these are top of the line quality. They are elegant in design and the white is great for any setting.
But the cups are sturdy, functional and have a nice cafe look and feel. They are just the size for a morning cappo. I bought these in an attempt at latte art. I have given up on the art but love the cups. I agree with one previous reviewer that the stacking and storage have problems.
Also, even though these were packed in about 3 boxes, "russian doll" style, one of the cups sustained a crack straight through. If I had it to do again, I would continue looking. The finger loops are too big making it uncomfortable to lift the cup and a nightmare to stack. Unfornately, that's not the case. cappuccino cups. After several trips to Europe, I was looking for some plain white 6 oz. These looked like they'd fit the bill perfectly. My cupboards are all the more crammed because of that design.
This is not the latte bowl we are used to in the U.S. I've been using these cups to make double espresso and find the shape and size of the cup truly brings out the flavor with enough room for a nice dollup of foam/merengue or just plain, straight, double-shot.
It is the perfect size for the perfect cappucino.
The cups clean up in a jiffy by hand or dishwasher. If you like the flavor and feeling of being in a european cafe/bistro, you will love this and other products in this cafeware line by Konitz.
This cappuccino cup and saucer set is an authentic european style of how cappucino is served. The cups are made of durable porcelain and are dishwasher and microwave safe.
If your'e serious about flavor, function, durability, these cup and saucer sets do the job.
