Pantone Espresso Cups
June 26th, 2008Since I’m a full blooded Italiano, I drink espresso like there was no tomorrow. I love it in the morning, I love it in the afternoon and I love it after dinner. My wedding favor was a nice espresso machine I imported from Italy with a bag of ground espresso. I love it ok!?
So imagine how excited I was when I saw this awesome set of Pantone espresso cups. Then imagine how pissed I was when I found out that they’re only available in the UK. W2 Products doesn’t ship outside the EU and I can’t seem to find anyone in the US that carried them. F-ing great!

These are great indeed. I’ve just written a post about beatiful mugs yesterday. Check it out on fudgegraphics. Maybe this will help you find some nice espresso cups!

Ferdinand, nice collection of cups there. I still have to get that Helvetica mug. I see it’s back in stock at Veer.
Nacho
Yeah, they look awesome but the quality is not that good. I bought 2 mugs and after 2 or 3 weeks of light use one of them has started peeling off and is totally ruined. Definitely not worth the money
Antonio
Nacho, the graphics started to peel off? Did you buy them from W2?

Hello Antonio,
A lovely find. I have one of the regular size cups
but only use it as a pen/pencil pot on my desk.
I’m to scared to wash it incase the detail comes off.
And it looks like I was right to be scared judging
by Nacho’s comment, if it is indeed the Pantone ones
he/she is talking about.
I would be more than happy to send the cups to you
if you want to buy them and ship them to me, or I buy
them and post them to you and you give me the money.
Just a thought, I wouldn’t want you to miss out!
Have a good day,
Sam
Antonio
Sam that would be awesome! Thanks! Look out for an email from me.

That is the awesomest! Though the comment by Nacho scares me a little — I won’t try and get them now (not that it’s possible to obtain it) but there are some other hawt designy objects over on http://www.suck.uk.com (this isn’t spam — trust me).

I have some of the regular sized mugs and i have washed them and even put them through the dishwasher, with no ill effects, though i think i will stick to hand washing just in case.
Sam Mallett
I have confirmation that the regular sized cups can
withstand hand washing.
Someone I work with has been using the Process
Yellow C since christmas and it still looks good
as new.
