These are great cappuccino cups! I'm very pleased with their appearance, size, and performance. As a previous reviewer noted, these cups are thicker than those of thin, dainty style, but this isn't a negative. The relative thickness doesn't seem clunky or cheap (meaning they're not excessively thick), they're durable, and I agree that these look like standard coffee shop cups.

These are the perfect size for a standard cappuccino (I'm not sure what drink the previous reviewer was making), and also work well as regular coffee cups. And finally, as an added bonus, I've found that these stack securely for storage (two cups/saucers high), with the bottom rim of the saucer fitting nicely in the bottom cup.

These cups are suitable for coffee, tea, capuccino, late etc. Made of good quality porcelain, quite better looking than the ceramic mugs. May be a little bit thick for those who prefer fine bone porcelain. According to me they are the typical for european coffee shops cups. Look durable. Nice neat design.

Best Deals for Konitz Coffee Bar Cappuccino 6-Ounce Cups and Saucers, Set of 4

For a number of years I had the small espresso cups from the Konitz coffee bar series. Decent stuff, sturdy, thick porcelain. I'm happy with them, but needed some cappuccino cups, so decided on these. Just got them and they're now in the dishwasher.

PRO:

Same thick porcelain as the espresso cups. Suitable for a coffee bar as they don't look like they'll break easily. This is a benefit with some family members here too. :)

Great size with a wide opening, so I can try a little bit of latte art.

Packed like it could be dropped from a plane and survive! The cups came in a huge box, I first though Amazon interpreted "set of 4" as "set of 4 of set of 4"! Lots of foam bits and what not in the manufacturer's box and then Amazon boxed it up even better. Don't worry, these cups will survive shipping.

CONS:

There are quite a lot of surface deficiencies on the cups. Not smooth, some grey/black spots.

The saucers don't look made for the cups, the cups have a lot of room to move on them.

Not so CON but not super:

They are super dirty coming out of the packaging, like they weren't even rinsed coming out of the oven. Most glassware you can just rinse and wipe, but this is now in the dishwasher.

Overall pretty good. I don't care too much about the imperfectons, the saucer fit bothers me more, but overall I'm happy. Pretty decent I guess for the price.

Update 9/20/2012: They're still going strong after about a month and a half of heavy use. As we use them so much here, we regularly have none when making coffee, so I'm ordering a second set. The little black spots are there, they still bug me, but I can live with it. :) The saucer size issue hasn't posed any problems in use.

Update 10/1/2012: The second set has been in use for about a week now. Arrived with the same incredible packaging, needed initial dishwasher cleanup as they were dusty/dirty like the first set. Quality like the first, I can still recommend these cups.

Honest reviews on Konitz Coffee Bar Cappuccino 6-Ounce Cups and Saucers, Set of 4

These are advertised and listed as being 6-ounce cups. However, I measured the cups when I received them, and they actually hold slightly more than 8 oz to the brim. A cappuccino cup should be 5 ounces, or 6 ounces if you like it with extra espresso. EIGHT ounces is WAY too much no matter how you look at it.

The build quality is decent, and the price is right(although Amazon has increased the price by a buck since I ordered a couple days ago). The rims are a little on the thick side, as others have pointed out. The mugs fit well on the saucer.

The batch I received were Made in Thailand.

These are falsely advertised as something they are not, therefore the 2-star rating. The box they came in says "Cappuccino," but it does not say how much they hold. There are several websites out there that show their correct 8 ounce volume, but most of the websites continue to incorrectly display these as being 6 ounce mugs.

Too bad Amazon doesn't make it easy to contact them to report problems with their listings...

I prefer 9 oz cups these 6 oz cups are just a bit too small if you like lungo coffee or a bit more milk. Good quality, holds the heat, feels good in your hand, well-packaged, great price.
