THey are readily availible......many Italian delis have them......and I would think places like Williams Sonoma might too....they are simple devices....and I know you can buy them from about $7 on up depending on how many demitass cups they make in Italy. I'll try to get a few links today and post them as I assume many people have never seen them to know what they are.


OK..they are a lot more expensive here but here is one link....

http://www.espressozone.com/espresso-makers.html

and another...

http://www.cybercucina.com/ccdocs/aisles/Coffee-Accessories.htm?source=overture&ccag=AdGroupCoffeeAccessories

and remember a "cup" when you are talking Expresso is really about a shot glass full as its very strong compared to your average american coffee, that in italy is called "Cafe lungo" or a long coffee.

And these are what most Italians have in their kitchen...not the Fancy expensive machines.....
