Coffee Cups -

Kelsey

That's a shame, I guess I'll just have to take my chances - I love the look of those Terra's.

No sign of E61 on CS anymore, and he disappeared from here as a sponsor too. No reflection on him or his business, I just think people don't like his great prices!!! Pity too, I got great service from Matt with my Vario purchase and a great price too. I think he just needs to stand his ground, and ignore them and keep selling quality equipment at a great price.

I think you nailed it Lacehim! Shame really. Coffee Roma or whatever they're called seem to fly under the radar over there... What makes them different I wonder. Those ECM machines look the business don't they!!! I wonder if I ordered some cups and accidentally ordered the big ECM whether my wife would leave me... I mean seriously, even if she did she's 8 months pregnant... How far could she really get?

That's a pissa. I'm so very lucky, the Little One lets me do whatever I want - including buying any machines and equipment I need - she never cracks the shites, ever. I think AM may be on the money - freight movements of those cups are tricky and they really are quite special - so the target customer base is quite small and I'd say that the original supplier would only ship in certain quantities.

It all started with the shuttle launch. Also Matt was active on the forums.

Matt replied to my Facebook query overnight. That's more than fast enough for me. The only problem is that it's pretty much impossible to subtly drop hints that this specific cup, in red, is the one I'm after... 😃

Matt has said that the latest shipment has arrived (FB or Twitter, can't remember) so hopefully it will contain some of the ones we're all waiting for, can't wait to get the other mugs, I love drinking out of them, just have to remember to stop steaming too much milk and overfilling them 🙂

Have just visited the E61 site. Those cups look absolutely magnificent. I have Rockinghams, and they do nicely so far for me. Am sure those who have these Terramiks will certainly have pride of ownership and great conversation point in a party. Enjoy. 🙂 Gary at G.

Must admit my experience with E61 has been less than satisfactory, ordered a set of cups over 6 months ago, despite repeated emails and messages have had no response whatsoever, guess its just me. I've drawn a double line under the deal, time to move on. 😉 PS, Quite some time ago Matt was kind enough to send me a complimentary container of his E61 group head cleaner, excellent product.

There are contact details on his website Dry Bean. Give him another try. You're emails might have gotten caught by a spam filter or something (that always coffeeparts excuse when I phone them)

Thanks for the tip Lacehim, have attempted to contact him on a number of occasions with no result, I'm over it now, time to move on. 😉

I'm happy with my red ACF cups. 🙂 Easy to get too, I can buy them from Costa Noosa.

Ditto, mine are black, bought them from Rio in Adelaide.

Kelsey

How much does Costa Noosa sell 'em for?

Pretty sure they were $14 each when I got mine (160mL) from there in January. Quite reasonable for single quantities (plus you can get a fantastic coffee while you're there 🙂 )

I have had the Merlo cups for years and they are very very sturdy solid reliable and not too dear. My wife even baked a souflee in them once!!! I don't use them myself preferring a cheap caterers tumbler of about 180ml bought from a $2 shop. Enter these little unassuming puppies: http://www.danesi-caffe.com/prodotti/regali.php?ln=en&pr=12 sourced from Chris at Bezzera for a bargain price (though I can't for the life of me remember what that was). They are sooooo comfortable. I have underestimated that value of good stemware for too long. I have some fabulous crystal for wine... though nothing out of the ordinary. Why not for coffee I wonder. I'll enjoy the Danesi and thanks to threads like this not be so afraid to open my wallet for good cups... darn you all! P.s I am a former owner of ACF cups in burnt orange which were a great idea when we had a bright yellow benchtop in our former kitchen but the feel of them (as well as the colour) wasn't me. Onward researching fingers.... and eyes...

I really liked your espresso glasses Brett, very enjoyable to drink from.

I have 6 of the very same Merlo cups & saucers Also a thrift shop purchase KK

Kelsey

My favourite cup was $1 from a thrift store. Some defunct cafe branding on it.

Ah yes, those are pb crystal gold etched Turkish coffee glasses. They make wonderful short black glasses because one of the gold lines is right on the 60mm mark. They were a gift from my wife... she's a keeper.

Mugs mugs mugs, mugs mugs mugs 😃 I love them.
