A proper espresso cup should have extra ceramic at the base of the cup to keep the precious espresso warm as long as possible.  Bravo cups are very heavy and much cheaper than the prissy Illy ones with their dated handles.

They do sell cups without the logo, call to arrange.

Sigg makes extraordinary products: Non-plastic water bottles narrow enough to fit in a briefcase and coffee thermoses that seal AND fit in a briefcase and look great.  Mysigg.com carries the full line.

Yerba Mate is a high caffeine drink, which comes with nice social rituals and antioxidants!

“Yerba Mate production in Argentina is almost an oligopoly of four enterprises which concentrate 80% of all that’s made and sold in the country. Small farmers, usually organic producers, don’t own the machinery to get through the process and have to sell their harvest to big producers. Luckily, we can still find some of them that can survive so we can enjoy the highest yerba mate tea quality and taste!”

Buy from MyMateWorld.com: pay only a little more to get it fresh and to deliver the money to Argentinian farmers! This company also sells a variety of gourds at good prices!
