1. Thick and heavy.
   
2. Bowl shaped and low profile--wider than tall.
   
3. Solid color on the outside (preferably not white, black or brown), and white on the inside.
   I've looked a lot at different stores and on the internet and have not found anything.

Thanks for all the replys.  I guess there aren't any cups fitting my criteria out there.  I had seen the 8oz cremaware on the internet, and they are the closest, but I'd rather have some color.   I'll keep looking.

Vince Piccolo, founder of Caffe Artigiano, now has a new flagship coffee bar bearing the name of his roastery, 49th Parallel. The new store on 4th Avenue in Vancouver features, in addition to its espresso bar, all fresh brewed, personalized coffee extractions utilizing either a Swiss Gold pour-over or a Clover.

With regard to espresso style, cups and culture, Piccolo told us, "We try to be as authentic as we can--a cappuccino is served in no bigger than a 6-oz cup. A latte to stay is served in a 9-oz cup. To go, a latte is served in a 10-oz cup. We do have a large latte cup available but it's not a popular drink option." Piccolo expanded, "We use Inker cups, which are porcelain out of Croatia. I find it's a really high quality cup. Some Italian cups are way too thick, and some German and French porcelain tends to be way too thin, but these are just right."
