Espresso is not an espresso if one id not drinking it from an espresso cup. As many, a Styrofoam cup is not the way to drink a cup of espresso. What exactly is an espresso cup? Such cup is a type used in serving and drinking espresso and looks in many ways like a miniature of the large coffee cups people normally use.

But what are the functions of espresso cups? The primary function of espresso cups-of course- is to hold shots of espresso. Aside from this, these cups are also used to make sure that the espresso stays warm until it is completely consumed. While some of these cups need to be pre-heated by giving them a bath in hot water before being used, many models are now constructed with double walls to insulate the espresso and it keep warm longer.

Glass espresso cups, on the other hand, are often hand blown and feature a chrome handle and lip. Most of these cups also have a double wall construction. Lastly are porcelain espresso cups which are also the most common types of these cups. They are often preferred over the two other materials as they are thicker, and hence, can keep espresso warm for a much longer time.
