Espresso demitasse
An espresso demitasse is a small porcelain cup used for serving concentrated espresso coffee.
60 mlDefined nominal capacity
Too small to see at this scale. The ring marks its true-scale position, not its volume. The shape has not been enlarged.
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 capacity of an espresso demitasse is about 1.01 times 2 US fluid ounces.

2 US fluid ounces
Volume: 59.15 ml; definition.
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
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.

How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 60 ml for the nominal capacity of an espresso demitasse; the recorded range is 50 ml–90 ml.
- The nominal capacity of an espresso demitasse: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
Volume measures three-dimensional space; a container’s capacity is not its outside dimensions.
