Cups and Mugs

From Whimsical To Stylish, Coffee Mugs Enhance Your Brewing Experience

As Courtney discovered at her favorite Italian sidewalk café, the right presentation can enhance the espresso experience.  From sturdy coffee mugs that fit comfortably into the curve of the hand to whimsical Italian espresso cups, Courtney has collected dozens of mugs and cup sets.

Some of Courtney’s most memorable evenings have been spent recreating the Old World charm of a crowded Italian sidewalk café surrounded by ancient stone walkways gracefully canopied by porticos.  In fact, one of her favorite sets of espresso cups features different Italian city scenes on each cup.  Just curling up with one of these artistic cups filled with piping hot espresso sends her thoughts sailing back to beautiful Bologna.

Recently, one of Courtney’s best friends was absolutely delighted to receive a set of double-walled insulated glass coffee cups as a gift.  These stylish cups keep her java steaming hot considerably longer than regular coffee mugs.  Seems her penchant for fabulous coffee is well-known among her java-loving friends! 

Of course, for a truly authentic look and feel, Courtney ordered Italian café-style ceramic coffee mugs in a traditional mocha color.  Their thick-walled design is ideal for enjoying a perfect cup of espresso.  She loves these lovely little espresso cups so much that her friends gave her a matching set of larger cappuccino cups.

For a fabulous latte that stays hot, Courtney recommends a mug with heavy walls and a substantial feel.  Of course, the coffee mug needs to be large enough to add lots of luscious steamed milk for a true latte experience. 

She has discovered an online treasure trove of unique coffee mugs, and delights in adding to her collection frequently. Courtney recently added a pair of contemporary looking heated coffee cups to her collection.  These Bodum Eileen coffee cups feature removable stainless steel frames which encase crystal clear glass cups.  Uniquely stylish and highly functional!

And when dashing out the door for work, do what Courtney does.  Grab a delectable cup of java to go in a LavAzza paper coffee cup.  She knows that they are perfect for enjoying a cup of espresso, cappuccino, coffee or tea on the go.  And the small espresso size even offers a convenient fold-out cup handle.
