What Size Is a Double Espresso Cup?

A double espresso cup typically holds 4 to 5 oz (120–150 ml).


Why That Size?

A double shot of espresso is about 2 oz, but baristas often use slightly larger cups to allow room for crema, stirring, or a splash of milk. A 4–5 oz cup gives just the right amount of space without being oversized.


Tip:
Look for cups with thick walls to retain heat – essential for enjoying espresso at the right temperature.
