Espresso cups – traditionally known as ‘demitasse’ cups – are around half the size of regular coffee cups, holding 2-3 ounces (around 70ml) of coffee. They are used to serve small, strong coffee, as well as other after-dinner beverages, such as cappuccino, speciality coffees and Turkish coffees.  Â
In Italy, espresso is considered an essential part of daily life and is therefore regulated by the government. No wonder it’s become such a popular choice of drink worldwide.
