These cups are fantastic and my third additional purchase, after the essential handpresso case and domepod carry case, for this machine. I realised I needed these cups the first time I took my Handpresso Hybrid on a journey and had to wrap my espresso glass in a bulky teatowel to protect it. These cups can now be wrapped in cling film to reduce scratching and prolong the appearance of glass. The cost of 2 cups is, in my opinion very good; comparable to glass cups but more portable and robust.As with the case though, I do have one associated issue with this purchase, or rather with HANDPRESSO and their current method of marketing.(Copied from my previous review on the Handpresso case)The Handpresso is, to me, the greatest manual espresso maker I have ever owned or come across; MiniPresso - plastic, low pressure and with build issues, ROK espresso machine - fantastic home device, Aeropress - the greatest extracted coffee machine in the world but NOT expresso and needing 2 times the amount of coffee (14g) per serving.The Handpresso is marketed as a portable solution with photos of people using it in remote and wild high altitude locations or lakes (yes, actually in a lake…!) and jungles. One can buy the device in a large case with a flask and cups - not practical for a true adventurer. However, for a truly portable solution to pack onto a motorcycle or into a rucksack for camping, the customer must first buy a device, then a case, unbreakable cups and finally a domepod case for storing prepared domepods (convenience option). At the time of writing, the cost for these items was £130.00. Add to that the cost of a hand grinder (Porlex portable £30.00), a lightweight funnel and tamper set (ebay - £24.00) and finally a measuring spoon (any under £5.00) and you have a perfect coffee lovers home and portable real espresso making kit for around £190.00. Now, I accept that most serious coffee drinkers may have some of these items but the point is that Handpresso do not sell a complete solution; the traveller must purchase additional parts. It is possible that the traveller may neglect these items or even buy poorer substitutes. This is dumb as Handpresso have the customers’ attention at the point of sale. With a number of custom designed quality packages, Handpresso could sell more in one go to those wanting a one stop solution. Espresso is not a necessity but a nice to have. It would stand to reason that Handpresso customers are not too concerned at the cost of a full solution, so long as they have something of high quality and is a complete solution to meet those needs that have not yet been identified by the customer but will quickly become apparent once in the wilderness.What I'm saying is this - Handpresso should include a case and more at the initial point of sale. Doing so would put the price up but I would argue that through economies of scale, not as much as a separate case. The customer won't then be left wishing he knew about a case when stuck half way up a mountain, looking at his bashed and cracked Handpresso. The greatest companies are those loved and believed in by its customers who then buy their products, trusting that their needs were correctly identified. By way of an example of my point, I bought an Iphone over android solutions because I trust Apple, what they stand for and the build quality of their devices.

Actually bought these for my nephew - out for coffee with him not long ago and the waiter made him some frothy milk in an esspresso cup and he loved it, was able to hold it just right. He loves these - took me ages to find some unbreakable ones - and i think I may buy some for myself for camping.They dont come with a saucer though.

Cute, portable espresso cups. Bit pricey for what they are, but stack together well, and can carry anywhere without fear of breaking.Just need to find a decent flask that can keep water at 92°C for more than a few hours, or something very portable to heat espresso quantities of water quickly.

Very tiny - perfect for my granddaughter to have at the table to drink from. I don't think they are smart enough to use for adults' coffees really- except on a picnic?
