This is good but if you don't have a bevel, you're just polishing a dull edge.

So, does anyone have any coffee related goodies on their Christmas wish lists?

A set of new cups. I broke handle on one yesterday. Har!

What kind? Coffee, espresso, or latte?

Espresso drinkers and we used small Corelle Winter Frost Hook Handle Coffee Cup which were a little bigger than espresso cups. Great for doppio espresso and it fits under strainer. Like the white to show off the color espresso and crema. And with this prompting I just now scored 4 cups on ebay.

I have the same concern. My machine has a strict amount of clearance under the portafilter such that I have to check the dimensions carefully before I buy. These have worked well. They hold a double shot with a little room to spare.

For comparison three espresso cups. Far right is classic thick walled one shot Italian espresso cup. Holds heat long time when pre-warmed.
