Harold Import Stackable Porcelain Demi Cup & Saucer Set, 9pc

Harold Import Stackable Porcelain Demi Cup & Saucer Set, 9pcThey arrived quickly and are even better than expected -classic expresso cups that take very little space on a countertop or in a cupboard and at a very reasonable price. I'd been in the market for expresso cups for a long time; they're not easy to find at a good price, and these would be exceptionally nice at twice the price.

I ordered these espresso cups, along with another brand. I really like these cups. They are small enough to fit under my small espresso machine. The other ones that I purchased were too big. The quality of the cups seems pretty good and they look nice sitting by the machine.

Couldn't be more pleased with this cup set. Cup mouths are wide enough to catch the espresso from both spouts of a dispenser head, so waste (or the need to dirty a second cup) is a thing of the past. Very nice storage rack: it keeps a lot of crockery in a very small footprint.

Although I own multiple sets of demitasse cups I purchased this one to pair with the companion Stackable Porcelain Cappuccino Cup & Saucer 9 Pc Set.

Like the companion set the cups and saucers in this one are made of relatively thick porcelain. This functional characteristic is what allows the cups to retain heat. More importantly, the surfaces of the cups and saucers are smooth and uniform, which indicate well crafted and manufactured ware. The stacking rack is also well made: the metal is not flimsy and is perfectly plated.

The height of the rack is 8.5 inches, which is about three inches shorter that the one in the companion set I mentioned above. The entire set will take up little cabinet or counter space, which makes it practical. Another practical feature is these can be put in a dishwasher. I personally clean mine by hand, but the fact that you can dish wash them adds to the value.

I especially love the gleaming, white porcelain that goes with any decor. It reminds me of the cups in which espresso is served in Mediterranean cafes and bars. I find them to be beautiful. At three ounces they also have the perfect capacity.

If you get these I highly recommend pairing them with a set of WMF Manaos / Bistro Espresso Paddle, Set of 4. Those will allow you to stir your beverage without wrecking the crema.

Cups & saucers perfect. Stacker was carelessly bent and soldered or spot welded. I manhandled it til it stood almost straight. Then it was too snug to receive cups. Spread the cup column to increase diameter. Now I'm happy. It works AND it has character.
