Londinium coffee roasters

Two Ancap espresso cups and saucers

The iconic ‘Ancap’ espresso cup. Manufactured in Italy with hand applied decals, then kiln fired a second time to seal the decal for years of vigorous use in commercial environments. The thick wall porcelain with the deep high quality glaze distinguishes them clearly from cheap imitations. The thick wall ensures the espresso retains its heat, and the small surface area of the cup ensures the crema forms dense & deep, not being able to disperse. No pitting in the glaze where the handle joins the body of the cup, as is often found on low quality cups.

This second edition has just the Londinium Espresso logo on the outside of the cup, and the tulip shape has been dropped in favour of a more bowl shaped cup that holds much more volume in the bottom half of the cup, allowing the diameter of the top of the cup to be considerably smaller.  As a result the espresso stays hotter for longer and the crema disperses less.

The result is an espresso that tastes significantly better.  It is not a mere technical or theoretical difference, it is real and is discernible form the first sip.
