The Delicate Art of Demitasse Drinking

Demitasse ( /dəmiˈtas/; French: [dəmitas]) is a small cup or glass used for serving espresso or other strong coffee drinks. The term "demitasse" comes from the French word "demi-tasse", which means "half cup".

The demitasse is typically made of delicate china or ceramic material and has a handle, making it easy to hold and carry. It is designed to hold a small amount of liquid, usually around 30-60 ml (1-2 oz), and is often served with a saucer.

Demitasse cups are popular in Europe, particularly in France and Italy, where they are used to serve espresso after meals or as an afternoon pick-me-up. They are also gaining popularity in other parts of the world, particularly among coffee aficionados who appreciate the rich flavors and aromas of strong coffee.
