So, now I find I like cappuccino and I have no proper cups. I have 12 espresso cups and some big coffee mugs, but nothing in between. I'd like to find out how many cups folks have and the different sizes. What cups do you like best? What sizes are must haves? Thanks. Dave

I have.
8 Nuova Point cappuccino cups w/saucers. 2 Ikea tulip cappuccino cups 2 glass 5.5oz. cappuccino cups (thanks Jon) 2 ceramic 6-6.5oz. cappuccino cups (thanks Jon) and 4 "proper sized" but not proper shape glass cups w/saucers that I only use for other brew methods (or Americanos).
I hear e-bay is a good source for cups.
personally, I really like the Italian cups. (Nuova Point, ACF, IPA, etc.)

4 ACF black cappuccino 6 oz 4 Camardo cappuccino 5.5 oz 2 Bodum Pavina 11oz latte 2 Bodum Pavina 9 oz latte 2 Bodum Pavina 4 oz(?) cappuccino [I use these for espresso shots] 2 random big ceramic latte cups I found in a shop in LA
I lust after the Pistoletto Illy cups but can't bring myself to spend the money.
Of my cups, I use the Bodum 9oz and the ACF cups the most
One of my friends loves mochas and serve these to her in one of the 11oz Pavinas.
Oh yeah, some truly huge coffee mugs from Starbuck's that are good for hot chocolate. Mmmmm, hot chocolate made with frothed milk, what decadence.

I have modest set of 6 Cappuccino cups (with saucers) and one 3oz espresso cup. I really like the cups from Sweet Maria’s (the Milano or tulip style ones) but these are widely available.

I'm not even going to try to count or inventory them...
I have a large collection of 2 and 2.5 ounce demitasse cups in glass and porcelain as well as several shot glasses (including some antique graduated glass spouted ones that may be for measuring medicine). I also have many china cappucino and latte cups ranging from 4.5 ounces to 8 ounces. I'm not at home right now I would be tempted to post some pics of my cup "collection".
And while I'm at it, I am getting near to the point where I'm running out of room and I'll need to get rid of some cups so if anyone needs some china or porcelain demitasse or cappucino cups please feel free to contact me. I'll give them away for the price of boxing and shipping.

I have two nice black Krups (they were given to me) cappuccino cups, two Bodum Pavina shot glasses, one surviving Bodum Pavina 9 oz. glass, and two Sweet Maria's monkey logo demitasse cups which are my favorites.
