"At a recent breakfast in Bushwick my espresso at La Cantine was served in a square-shaped cousin of retro 1970s Italian Casalinghi espresso cups; I told my partner, “I love them because they look like they’re smarter than me,” and he later remarked on the durable appeal of metallic plates, cups, and trays — it was nice to know I could whip out stainless steel espresso cups and play tea party with my nephew without having to worry about chipping a mug." - Francky Knapp
