A little perspective
Espresso demitasse vs 30 ml espresso: volume comparison
The nominal capacity of an espresso demitasse is about 2 times the volume of a 30 ml espresso.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Espresso demitasse
Defined nominal capacity: 60 ml; defined specimen; range 50 ml–90 ml.
A defined 60 mL porcelain demitasse standing 6 cm high. Cup shapes and usable fill vary; nominal capacity is independent of the exterior-height calibration.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined nominal capacity is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
30 ml espresso
Volume: 30 ml; example.
Defined 30 ml capacity. Actual containers, servings and fills vary. Outer shape is not used to calculate capacity.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 60 ml
We compare the nominal capacity of an espresso demitasse. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same. The recorded range is 50 ml to 90 ml.
