Espresso Cup Sets

My favorite accessory I own is an Italian espresso cup set from Illy. I don't know what it is about espresso cups but I love them! Maybe it's the dainty size or the variety of finishes. My collection has really grown since online shopping started!

And I am not the only one with this addiction. These things have become collectibles! Like the illy Art series cups which are signed and numbered. Over on the Illy site they even have a forum where you can sell and buy sets no longer available. Click to view their current selection of espresso cups.

Whether you are buying a collectible Italian espresso cup set or an everyday espresso set, look for the following features:

• Seams - are not visible on the cup or handle.
• Edges - are smooth to the eye and touch
• Finish - look for a flawless finish with no blemishes
• Thickness - A thicker cup will hold the temperature of the espresso better than a thin walled cup
