These are equal-volume cubes. Edge lengths grow with the cube root of capacity; the cubes do not depict container exteriors.

A little perspective

The defined nominal capacity of Espresso demitasse is about 1.01 times the volume of 2 US fluid ounces.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

2 US fluid ounces

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Espresso demitasse

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.

Volume ↔ Defined nominal capacity
Relative size
Espresso demitasse is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.01. Espresso demitasse's selected measurement is approximately 1.44% greater than 2 US fluid ounces's.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Espresso demitasse uses a 60 ml central value within a recorded range of 50 ml–90 ml.
  • Espresso demitasse is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
