The creamy, semi-matte, subtly speckled glaze makes the set feel modern and fun. Handmade and painted by Italian artisans using traditional methods and techniques, our collection of Italian espresso cups are beautiful interpretations of Italian majolica. Most espresso cups are made of various types of ceramics, making them both durable and great at retaining heat. Worth to note is that the look of a ceramic cup can vary greatly based on how it is shaped, glazed and what type of ceramic it is.

'Displaying your everyday glassware and tableware in glass-front cabinetry allows you to showcase the things you love while keeping them protected and accessible,' says Fred Horlock, Design Director at Neptune. A popular kitchen must-have right now is the inclusion of natural materials such as wood and stone. Bringing all the positive attributes of nature into your home these materials make an excellent choice for a beautiful kitchen look, complete with a warm and welcoming ambience. If real wood and stone are outside of your price bracket there are also many wood and stone effect kitchens to choose from, which are outstanding in both look and quality. These finishes also make a great choice as they are easy to clean and maintain, meaning they will last you long-term. Households are increasingly looking for a kitchen island that can serve as a cooking station, as well as a spot for dining, working, relaxing or socialising.

Most of our espresso cups are made in Delft blue, except for the Avondbloem collection. This espresso cup is made of white porcelain, printed with gray-black tones and gold accents. We chose this color for the espresso cup because these are the shades of Delft blue paint before it goes into the oven. The espresso cup does have the traditional Delft blue decorations around the cup.

The 1815 Collection comprises tableware in stylish colored glazes, including partially-dipped designs by hand. If you are looking for a set with a retro look, the Vintage cup set from Caffè Mauro is a perfect choice. The part where the most can go wrong and where most hands are needed is the handle of the cup. The procedure to ensure that the handles are straight and at the right position requires a lot of practice and concentration. Finally, the transition between the grip and the handle should be neat.

Traditionally, espresso cups were stored stacked on top of the espresso machine, where the warmth of the boiler heated the cups for serving. At home, if you have the storage space, you can store them on your espresso machine, on your countertop, or in your pantry, picking cups that stack or don’t. The Evo has a handle that’s wide enough for a finger to fit through, making it easier to pick up. The handle is placed slightly higher up on the body of the cup, which allows two cups to be stacked for storage. Both artisanal ceramic drinkware and thicker weight glass kept espresso hotter for longer. Denser materials like stoneware (Le Creuset and Casafina) and porcelain (Sweese and Acme Evo) kept the espresso from dropping in temperature.

This was quite a timely composition, hitting the airwaves six months after Maggie Thatcher took over and solidified the whole capitalism-as-religion bullshit that Ronnie Reagan would shortly bring to the States. I have to say that when I played the four concept album songs as a self-made suite, I felt a deep sense of loss . The music, the arrangements and the emotion-evoking lyrics convinced me that the concept album would have been an absolute masterpiece. I detect an ironic double entendre here centering around the British definition of "thick" as "stupid." One could interpret Foxton’s lines (in parentheses) as "No, we’ve grown up and we’re not as stupid as we used to be" while Weller bemoans the loss of vibrant idealism.
