Drinking coffee usually consists of choosing either a delicate design or a plastic travel variety to contain the hot beverage, but the Silicone Espresso Cups looks to make a marriage of the two different design styles. Featuring a porcelain upper that has been hand-dipped, the Silicone Espresso Cups sports a soft silicone lower portion that both prevents breakage and makes gripping it in the morning (when you're half awake) even easier.
Although the Silicone Espresso Cups are formally sized for espresso, those who like to ramp up their caffeine intake on a slow incline could find them to be the perfect size for taking small portions to restrict intake. With that said, they might be too small for those who need a pick-me-up faster than others.
