Espresso
A small and very solid cup matching well the strength of the coffee in the cup.
Handle
A nice combination of a small handle which is thick. This offers a solid 2-finger grip to hold the small cup.
Heat
The thick cheramics offers good heat protection.
Surface
Nice and very smooth surface from what appears to be a high quality porcelain.
Mouth feel
Great - just how an espresso cup should feel.
