demitasse - \dem-i-tas\ - n - a small cup of coffee.

A demitasse isn't good enough to wake me up while studying for an exam.

Tazza is Italian word for cup.

I just read in Wikipidia that demitasse is a French word. :coffeedrink:

When I ordered espresso in Starbucks, the cup was very small and the coffee was barely 1cm high.

When you order double, it reaches almost half of the demitasse.

Triple, I presume is 3/4 of the demitasse :mafia:

No wonder we need lots of demitasse of espresso!!!!!:coffeedrink:
