    Re: Tell me about cups, mugs and glasses

    Where can I find Illy cups (logo type) in Melbourne?
    Any help, shipping from the US on e- bay is too expensive on those.

    As well as the NP cups I got, I settled on some ACF cups. I bought 2 x espresso cups, 2 x capuccino bowl shaped cups and 2 x latte bowl shaped cups. I had to buy from NZ as they were the only place that had what I wanted in brown in stock and were able to sell me 2 of each (rather than 6 of each).

    They are really nice looking cups... Im pleased with them.

    I would very much like to get a hold of the 220ml Duralex Provence glasses along with the 90ml Duralex Picardie.

    Are there any suppliers in melbourne?
    Hotel Agencies in Nicholson St sell them...

    Bump!

    I found this thread really informative.


    Just finished my exams and got some time to indulge on my hobbies such as coffee

    Googled around for coffee glassware, and discovered that i had been making lattes in a 220ml glass all this while. I got them at the dollarshop for $4 for 6. They look similar to the Duralex Provence glasses but are a bit fatter and less transparent.

    A new cafe opened near to where im staying and they use the 160ml Duralex glasses for their lattes. They are alot "finer/thinner" an transparent.

    I would very much like to get a hold of the 220ml Duralex Provence glasses along with the 90ml Duralex Picardie.

    As long as the beverage inside is your own creation, what the heck!!

    Its on the outside but Im not really going to complain as I got 4 quality ceramic cups for free.

    Before these I was using 2 80ml Incasa metal cups and the dont hold the heat anywhere near as well ceramic.

    Is it on the inside side or the outside side? Some of my ACFs have Vittoria on the inside side. No dramas. You get that when you get them from Vinnies @ $5 for a set of 6

    I just got given four thick IPA espresso cups and saucers today, really nice, really hardy. The downside they have the Vittoria coffee logo printed on one side >DOH:

    Hey Gavin

    You need to add 20mL to each of those figures! (I wish I could get a 150mL tulip!)

    Hey Yeeza,

    Funny YOU should mention that. Blue Bottle in San Fran use the small gibraltar as their ACF tulip equivalent: see photo. If you order a gibraltar, its a double shot, topped up with whole milk. No substitutions allowed.. Im not sure, but I think that the smallest gibraltar glass is 7oz, which would mean that the Blue Bottle gibraltar is basically a double shot latte ... and would throw into relief the "standard" 210mL latte that they drink over there.

    Here, St Ali, BBB, First Pour and Maling Room do a similar thing. You can get a double shot latte/cappuccino thing in an ACF tulip by asking for a "magic." I think that theyre on the menu at Maling Room as a "barista latte," though. Dont ask me why we didnt just go with "tulip." If you ask me for a "tulip," Ill know what you mean. Damned barista slang.

    The Libbey gibraltar series also includes the latte glass in GregWorlmalds avatar. Cibo in Adelaide use them, from memory. Theyre cool. I think that they have a 5oz version as well as the short mac version.

    From what I have seen, the gibraltar curved base isnt anywhere near as curved as a bowl-shaped cup or a tulip.

    Cheers,

    Luca

    NP/ACF tulips hold about 150mls

    The bowl capp cups holds about 190mls.

    I pour lattes / caps in the tulips, caps/flat whites in the bowls.

    Milk/coffee ratio is pretty good. At least thats what everyones been saying.

    Re: Tell me about cups, mugs and glasses

    Well I really like the cups I bought. I really like the thickness of the cups. Id also like to get some cups around 200-220ml also for cafe lattes. Id prefer cups to glasses A couple of friends have commented that they like their coffee more milky. The nuova point ones only seem to hold about 160ml.

    Any suggestions?
