long-time readers know i've been searching for a set of 4 espresso cups recently. . .

normally that means checking out the arty cups from illy. however, none of them ever suited my fancy; they were all too busy or seemed more like gestures than actually something you could drink from. not to mention that mr. right hated the illy "ears."

"cups should have handles," he noted sensibly. "these ears make me feel like i'm being eavesdropped on." but i have to say that illy has now unveiled their first set i've ever liked. alas, they still have those dorky ears and naturally cost your great-aunt's kidney. but they are handsome. and they are designed by m. pistoletto, which should might assuage mr. right -- in his wild youth he was fond of arte povera. . .

in a more real world, however, i'm waiting for these more practical miss rancilio cups (see small pic here), which should soon be available on the whole latte love website.
