Lungo cups and mugs perfect for Nespresso lungo coffee

Elegant. Classic. Beautiful.
These 6-ounce cups are just right for lungos, and of course, look great with a fresh cappuccino swirling around the glass. Mmm.
These come from Nespresso, so you know the quality is there. Tempered glass cups, stainless steel saucers. Both are dishwasher safe, but not microwave safe. Also, we’ve been told that the stainless scratches easily, so if you wash by hand, don’t use an abrasive scrubber.

Looks plastic, but it’s not.
You’ll love this eye-catching, French-design coffee cups! They look like a crumpled plastic cup, but they’re actually dishwasher-safe Porcelain. Several colors available, so stack these up for conversation pieces before serving, and keep the conversation going serving your favorite Nespresso lungo in one of these. The size is just right: Each cup holds 6.25 ounces — so this is best for the lungo lovers who like the stronger version, closer to the factory setting. And, at 3.25″ tall, they’ll fit under your Essenza spout, no problem!

Beauty often comes in a simple form. Like a crisp blue sky that gently fades lighter at the horizon. That’s the kind of beauty these porcelain cups from DeaGourmet evoke.
DeaGourmet is an Italian design company that specializes in foodware design. The firm insists on starting with high quality materials, and manufactures its products with a blend of ancient porcelain creation.
These cups are perfect for lungos, as they come in at 2.4″ tall — plenty of room to fit under a Nespresso machine spout. At just under 3″ wide, we figure this will hold roughly 6 to 9 ounces. [We’re in touch with DeaGourmet now to try to get a handle on the exact capacity of each of their cafe cups!] The saucers are perfect for cafe cookies or chocolate treats.
Watch a video where these, and other DeaGourmet cups are discussed.
Set of 4 — Available from Amazon.com
See DeaGourmet’s brochure page about this product.

LaCafetiere says these cups are 3.5″ high, which is just, just the maximum height to fit under an Essenza spout. The 6-ounce version is a good size for a Nespresso lungo, which is factory set for 3.75 ounces, especially if you re-set your machine to add just a little more water!
A set of 2 of these double-walled, glass cups are from Amazon, where reviews indicate that this is an “excellent” cup.

Here’s another Bodum Porcelain tumbler, but this one is 6 ounces, whereas the previous post was for an 8-ounce cup. I think some of you might prefer this slightly smaller cup at 6.8 ounces, which is likely to be closer to the size of your Nespresso lungos. Nespresso’s factory settings for lungos are 3.75 ounces, but I tend to make mine about 6 ounces, and sometimes more, or I may even add an extra shot of espresso on those sleepy mornings!
Buyers of these Bodum coffee cups seem to get a lot of compliments on the design — no surprise since Bodum makes some great coffee cups! [See all the Bodum cups we think are best for Nespresso lungos.]
Like the previous post of the 8-oz Bodum Porcelain tumbler, this one has a silicone grip that comes in a variety of colors, including brown, pink, yellow, and blue. Prices range from about $25.00 to $35.00 for a set of two, depending on the color and the seller.
This cup is 4 inches high — it won’t fit under the Essenze spout unless you hold it.
This orange set is available via Amazon. [Available colors vary.]

If you know coffee, you know Illy, and if you know Illy, you may know about the “Illy Art Collection,” which regularly introduces a limited line of espresso and cappuccino cups, like this set designed by Michael Lin. This floral collection is signed and numbered by the artist himself.
In this cup collection, you’ll get six handleless cups, each with a different floral saucer, so as a set, you’ll have a bouquet of coffee! These cups are featured here because they are 2.25″ tall and hold 6 ounces — a perfect size for a Nespresso lungo! Of course, they also are perfect for small, European-sized cappuccinos, as that’s Illy’s intent.
Lin’s art typically features floral motifs inspired by Taiwanese textiles, and often is architecturally focused. The YouTube video below shows a nice interview with Lin and features some of his large pieces of work, as well as his inspirations.

Here’s a set of lungo mugs made just for Nespresso fans: each features a lungo blend. So, when you’re in the mood for a Fortissio, no problem. Finezzo? Got it. There’s a mug for each of the four lungo blends, so if you get them all, you’ll have a set that’s ready for each of your lungo moods!
The design is a classic coffee-shop blackboard motif with chalk-like writing and drawing — and, of course, the lettering is color coded to match your pods! The message is printed on two sides of the cup. Since this is from Zazzle, you have the opportunity to customize this mug, if you’d like. When you click on the images below, you’ll be taken to Zazzle where you can change the words on each side. So, maybe you’d like to make the message more personal… something like: “Mike’s Favorite: Fortissio,” or “For After 7 o’Clock: Decafeinato.” You decide, or just keep the cups as is.
Each mug is hand printed by Zazzle.com, where you’ll receive excellent customer service. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
Order individually for the set. Click on the each cup below to order.

Here’s a classic coffee cup: the Konitz Coffee Bar Cappuccino cup with matching saucer. This cup has a 6-ounce capacity, so depending on your lungo preference, could be the perfect size. If you’re Nespresso machine is still calibrated at factory settings, then this cup will work — factory settings are 3.75 ounces.
And, like all of our mugs here, this is nice and low, to fit comfortably under the spout on your Nespresso machine. Be advised — this is on the wide side because it’s intended as a cappuccino mug. So, of course, it makes for a nice Nespresso cappuccino mug — you can be sure no foam will get caught on the tip of your Nespresso spout!
This cup comes four to a set, available at Amazon.com.
Comes in set of 4.

Here’s a new design featuring beautiful vintage Japanese postage stamps. The colors seem to almost match your Nespresso capsules!
This is another Zazzle mug, which means it’s hand-printed with vivid detail, and is dishwasher and microwave safe. It also means you can order one or 100 with the same really great Zazzle customer support.
We put this lungo cup into our “nataionalities” category for those of you who like to travel. We like to visit coffee shops when we travel, and of course we like to come home and relive the memories as we sip our favorite lungo. So, here’s a way to combine two pleasures, travel and coffee!

We all read about it, saw the images on TV. It was a great event of our lifetime: the Wall came down! Here’s a small piece of the Berlin Wall on this lungo-sized espresso cup. You can see part of the concrete wall on this image, which mostly shows the solidarity of hands grasping the metal rebar.
This coffee cup is small — it’s just right for a Nespresso lungo set at factory settings, which is about 4 ounces.

This is our favorite lungo mug — inspired by gaffiti in Buenos Aires. Don’t you just sometimes feel like you want to be taken away? Of course, coffee does take us away, especially really good coffee served hot from a Nespresso machine. So, this mug covers you when you want to escape.
Starting at $15.30. Order now from Zazzle.
