Glad they arrived in time for Christmas :thumb: KK

Kelsey

Out of curiousity, when did you order them SS?

Kelsey, the 7th October, I think it's bloody good going, especially remembering that I had ordered a discontinued colour. First lot I got the end of October.

Kelsey

That is good! Gives me hope mine will arrive before Christmas!

Merry Christmas Kelsey ;D I know I keep talking about the generosity of our members but seriously this takes the cake. I won't identify the person, they can come forward if they want to. I am still a little overawed by it. This person generously paid for espresso cups for themselves, Kelsey and I. All I had to do was be prepared to repack and send them on to Kelsey and themselves. Absolutely no problem I saw. Well they turned up today and what follows is a video using the BES900 and Jeffs roasted Tanzanian. http://youtu.be/mkFzZ06Mf0o I love them, they are beautiful to drink out of :thumb: The second photo is off my mobile so isn't clear, LOL I'm a messy drinker, I love the way the crema coats the outside and leaves wave like marks on the sides.

Kelsey

Wow. I'm pretty blown away by this - thank you so much, both of you. I can't get over how great the people are on this forum. And I can't wait to be drinking out of these!! 😃 😃 Merry Christmas all!

Kelsey

I should mention that it'll be an enormous upgrade. I've been drinking out of a measuring shot glass and the twee things in the attached picture. They were ok with Nespresso, but terrible with real coffee - no temperature stability. So I'm totally awed and thrilled to be getting these. Thanks again.

Kelsey

Guess what arrived in the mail today? 😃 Not a great photo, but you can see the size difference compared to a couple of other cups I picked up at lifeline in desperation. I think the walls of the new ones are three times as thick. They're certainly noticeably warmer for sitting on the warming tray than the others. And they're a delight to drink from! Thank you again, both of you.

Hurray, so glad we didn't need the registered post number LOL They are gorgeous to drink from aren't they, I love drinking from them and have drunk more espressos since getting them than I have in all the time I've been drinking coffee. LOL I love drinking from them so much I did have thoughts of taking them with me to espresso bars but thought it would be a little anal :rofl:

Kelsey

They're great, just had my second shot in it. Tried to video it and managed to flub my first shot in weeks - been getting perfect extractions until this one. There's something about the thick porcelain that just feels fantastic to drink from. As to being anal, you never know, you might get a godshot - just as AM what happened when we rocked up to a cafe and plonked a naked portafilter down on the bench. 😃

They look great, I am sure you will enjoy many an Espresso from them... 😉

I like my Nuova Point cups Branded Torrisi Cups but made by Nuova Point KK

My wonderful wife bought me 6 double walled Bodum 250ml latte glasses for Christmas. They are really great to drink out of and a very welcome addition to our glassware.

Argghhhh cups, cups, cups... I have too many cups 😢 Brett, do yours have the silicone band around them??

Great stuff Kelsey, nice cups really are a joy to drink from aren't they? you must be over the moon. :thumb:

Kelsey

I am, such an absolute pleasure to drink from. Filled almost to the brim they're 45ml, perfect for my morning double.

No Marc, they are double walled clear glass with a silicone plug in the bottom.

I tried the silicone ones Muscles (got them as a gift last year) but didn't really like them. They are used for juice now! Now and again the silicone needs to come off because stuff starts growing under the silicone! 🙁 I did get a few dual wall glasses for Christmas too, some small ones for me, and big ones for the Mrs Chai lattes. Also bought 2 piccolo glasses from Clandestino Roasters yesterday too! Very nice and the coffee there, excellent as usual.

Nice, that'd certainly put you off your morning brew. :o

RichardM mentioned that Colin James Fine Foods in Maleny have some Terra Kerramik cappuccino cups in stock as well as some fancy-schmancy gold trimmed porcelain espresso cups (which I'm not a fan of). Nice spot tho, good fromagier too.
