What is your favorite cup for a macchiato?

ACF just stopped making mine. Those nice, thick 3 oz. bowl shaped cups that practically everyone uses for macchiatos are no longer in production. They have been replaced by a 2.25 oz. version of the same thing. Great espresso cups, not great macchiato cups. This happened at the very same time that i needed to get some new ones. I'm currently making do with cheap feeling Vertex cups from espressoparts.

What is your favorite cup and why?

Some stipulations; I don't like to get smaller than 3 oz. or as large as 4 for a macchiato. They have to be thick enough to retain some heat and durable enough for everyday cafe use.

Anyone ever used the Cups from SweetMaria's?  How do you like them?

Those are 2.25 oz. to the brim, which is a little small for the piccolo latte style macchiato which we serve, but perfect for espresso or the more traditional "marked" style macchiato. These are the cups that I currently use for espresso. Very heavy-weight, but Nuova point (as italian cup manufacturers are wont to do) just changed the design & I don't like the new ones as well as the old.

Are people unaware of the Black Cat Project line of ceramics made through NotNeutral (http://www.notneutral.com/)?
