What the AI looks for in Demitasse Cups
- Capacity
- Roughly 60–90 ml holds a single or double espresso with headroom. Bigger cups let the shot cool and spread the crema thin.
- Fit under the spout
- Check cup height against your machine's spout clearance. A tall demitasse may not fit under some home machines.
- Heat retention
- Thick ceramic or double-wall glass, ideally preheated. A small volume of coffee loses heat very fast in thin cups.
Brands that matter
- Bodum: Double-wall glass espresso cups.
- Acme & Co: Café-grade ceramic espresso cups.
- Loveramics: Porcelain espresso cups in its specialty ranges.
What to avoid
- Thin decorative demitasse cups for daily espresso.
- Double-wall glasses with a visible seal or vent if you put them in the dishwasher, since water can get trapped between the walls.
Questions
Is a demitasse the same as an espresso cup?
Effectively yes. Demitasse just means half cup, a small cup for espresso or strong coffee.
