    (My ones are less bulbous and straighter sided)

    the only reason I have those is I broke the glass "pot" that came with my espresso machine and these things fitted perfectly. but they are "interesting" to drink out of. they feel too light and far to insubstantial (like drinking coffee out of a glass bubble!) but they do stop my fingers from being burnt on the black coffee-tar.

    oh and BTW.. espresso HAS to be served with tonnes of sugar in it for the combined caffeine-sugar rush

    EDIT

    Actually they're more like these ones..only sans handles

    This house has a few more hiding places than the last one....I'm pretty sure I can secrete some where you won't get to them. Better still I can give you the recipe so you can make your own!

    Well spent the evening at DTS's last night and managed ro prise the tea cosy off his head to use on the teapot. DTS made me a nice cup of tea then about 20mins later came with another cup of tea that was just as hot as the first and even more delicious. He was so please with it bless him.

    There you go, so a tea cosy is a good purchase and i would recommend everybody get one. If all else fails, when its chilly it doubles as a hat.

    Mind you, if plan A fails, it will be matching pink and white polka dot tea cosies all round. Nothing else, just that...

    Well you could all get a different one so you don't match.. have your own personal head cosy.

    My One is the last one.. it looks like I'm wearing a crash helmet on my head though.. I think it suits the teabot better.
