What are espresso cups called?
1 Answer

Espresso cups are called demitasses. The name means "half cup" in French and refers to the small size of the drinkware. Most demitasses hold 2-3 ounces of liquid, making them roughly half the size of mugs used to serve coffee. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of demitasses.
