Where can I buy the 7-8oz brown cappuccino cups that you are the norm in most real (Italian-style) cafes? I saw the 5oz version selling on EPNW's website, but I want the slightly larger (double) version. This is the style they use at Stumptown. I purchased the plain-white 8oz cappa cup set from WWL, but was unimpressed (really thin-walled cups) and am sending them back. Thanks!

I really like Lavazza's cups, and Chris has a set of the 9oz cappa cups. I went to a lot of shops serving Lavazza while in Europe, and I fell in love with the cups. I love the shape, the handle, the porcelain, etc. Anyway, if you want > 6oz cappa cup, then that gets my vote. Sorry, I guess I didn't notice that you said cafe-service. Perhaps the Lavazza logo wouldn't be appropriate for you then.

Wait, that link didn't quite work. Click on the "Espresso Equipment" link (right side of the table in the link above, halfway down) and click on "Espresso Cups" at the top of that page, and then scroll down to Moka Brown...

The cups are made by nuova point. The web site isn't any good except for looking at neat logo cups. I have the espresso set, they're nice and hefty. Internet seaching doesn't bring up too many hits though. If I find them I'll be sure to post.

yes, those are the cups, just not the right size! when I go to Stumptown and order a double (8oz) cappuccino, they serve the drink in similiar, but larger brown cups. These (according to the webiste) are 5oz, although maybe their measurements are wrong. I already have the matching espresso set (bought on ebay for $17 including shipping). I guess I could call and ask them to verify the size. Thanks for the help so far!

Posted October 25, 2004 link May have found your answer here in this thread. The cappuccino cups are quoted as 6.5oz capacity. Could these be the ones you're looking for??

Hey, that looks about right! I think I will order a set. I actually think those cups on the EPNW site are bigger than 5oz, more like 6.5oz. Plus, if you have good, dry foam, you can get a good pillow of foam extending from the edge of the cup, giving a bit of extra volume. Thanks!

I think these are the cups: http://mountanosbros.com/user/catalog.php?cat=36&prnt=11 in the 10 oz size. Unfortunately, they only come by the dozen (probably OK if you're looking for commercial use). Peter
