Narrower espresso cups—like the Kinto double-walled espresso cup with a two-inch diameter—were challenging as they had to be placed right under the espresso streams to catch them, or adjusted mid-way. But larger espresso cups, like the JoyJolt Savor double-walled glasses, were too big, holding up to 5.5 ounces. Even double shots felt stingy and small in these large vessels. Smaller than regular coffee cups, espresso cups are the perfect size for enjoying a hot double espresso. Our extensive assortment of cups and mugs includes lots of espresso cups in beautiful and functional designs. If you prefer a more classically shaped espresso cup, with a wider rim and a narrower base, the Acme Evo Demitasse Cup looks like one you’d find in your favorite coffee shop.

I kept in my mind how tastes had changed, and certain ingredients were more widely available and wanted to incorporate them into the book with some new recipes. Multicultural flavors and ingredients are now common items in our pantries. While I’m happy to hone closely to tradition, I was delighted to play around with ingredients that weren’t available a decade ago, but are easy to find today. As winter marches forward, I am finally beginning to have a little more time to shoot and edit video. The shots in the following film were taken entirely in the Haines area of Alaska, which is where I live. Ninety percent of the shots were taken with the Sony PXW-X70 with a handful of shots from my old Canon 60D DSLR since they were on hand for the content I needed.

Whether your guests prefer the bold intensity of an espresso shot or the velvety smoothness of a latte, freshly ground coffee provides the perfect punctuation to an evening filled with delectable dishes and lively conversation.

The set comes with six espresso cups and matching saucers, all neatly organized in a compact metal rack. We found that the rack design could be improved by being a bit sturdier, but it definitely gets the job done, keeping everything tidy and within easy reach. The De'Longhi Double Wall Thermal Espresso Cups look great and perform even better. They offer impressive heat retention compared to regular espresso cups, and the double-wall design keeps your hands safe from the heat. When shopping for the best espresso cups, there are a few key design elements you should pay close attention to. Another double walled espresso cup, the Fellow Joey will keep your coffee nice and toasty while protecting your fingers.

I am too fatigued from pedaling a full day of rain to search out another camp. I am gripped by my short lived, but intense paranoia of the bears and sleep with one eye open. Over the next eight days, I witness some of the most remote and incredible scenery visible from a road in North America; fantastic glaciated peaks, bear, moose, eagles, rivers, and lakes. This natural balance I see before me brings tears to my eyes, and I think hard on where the human race is heading — and why. This many hours, instigates bizarre things within my mind. The next day, more of the same hill climbing ensue, only worse this time.

Using freshly ground coffee, it is possible to obtain a state-of-the-art espresso extraction, capable of enhancing the aroma and taste of the coffee. A moka pot is a unique and practical gift for the coffee lover who wants to try a new brewing style (making espresso) but isn't quite ready to get an espresso machine. For the AeroPress enthusiast, the premium glass, stainless steel, and aluminum AeroPress is the ultimate coffee gift. This enhanced version elevates the classic brewing experience with its durable, hand-blown double-walled glass chamber for richer, smoother coffee.

So much so, that it can even impact your enjoyment when drinking your favourite coffee. From material to size, we explore the types of coffee cups that are meant for each type of coffee. Glasses for pulling shots for drinks should be slightly larger, able to hold a double shot of espresso, and pour smoothly and cleanly. Wider-rimmed glasses like the notNeutral Vero Cortado and YETI Rambler made it easier to pull a shot with a larger margin of error (since they caught more). Thicker, rounded rim cups—like the De’Longhi double, Bodum Pavina, JoyJolt, and Fellow Monty—spilled and dribbled when poured from. Double wall glass espresso cups are also much lighter than ones made of ceramic, making for a pleasant cup to hold.
