Cappuccino Cups, Set of 6

I love my new cappuccino cups. They are beautiful and of high quality. I haven't tried the coffee beans yet but will do so when finished with a current bag. By the smell, I expect them to be equally amazing.

I have not been compensated for writing this review, which covers both the Borbone espresso and cappuccino sets that I purchased. I originally purchased this set purely for its aesthetic appeal. After using this set daily for several weeks, here are my findings: Pros: - These cappuccino and espresso cups are made in Italy. The workmanship quality is incredible: the ceramic cups have a nice weight and feel substantial in your hand. The glaze on the inside and outside of the cups has a smooth, silky texture. The white interior provides good contrast for the crema on the espresso. - The cups have a unique raised lip that creates an unexpectedly pleasing ""feel"" in your mouth as you enjoy your espresso or coffee drink. I didn't expect to enjoy that shape so much, and now I imagine it would be hard for me to go back to using ordinary-shaped cups. - While beautiful to look at, the thick walls of the cup retain heat very well. Those few extra minutes of heat retention can make a difference in flavor. - The set is dishwasher-safe, which is a huge plus. The colors and gloss have not faded after many cycles of cleaning. - The sets are very competitively priced considering the quality and aesthetics. Cons: - I wish the espresso set came with a metal stand included, to keep the cups organized and on display. I re-purposed a Bodum espresso metal stand and it works well for that purpose. Conclusion: Overall, this is one of the most stylish and well-made Italian ceramic espresso/cappuccino cup sets I've owned. The look is elegant and modern. It is a perfect set for coffee drinkers wanting to elevate their daily espresso routine.
