Cup a Day (7) Ikea Insulated Stainless Espresso
I have a bit of a "steel fetish" when it comes to espresso machines and anything related to coffee. And while I'm supposedly a super-taster, I don't usually taste that "metallic twang" that others get from steel cups and such - at least most of the time I don't.
These great little insulated cups from Ikea are cheap (about $6 for each cup and saucer), hold heat extremely well, and have a nice tulip-bowl inner shape of brushed metal (outside is polished metal). The saucer itself is actually thick - shiny steel on top, semi-finished steel on bottom, and hollowed out in between (or with some foam type insert, because they are light). I think Ikea still has these today. I bought two cups and saucers when I first saw them at Ikea.
Espresso Cup count so far (photographed + mentioned): 30
