I was very happy with this purchase - the spoons are strong - and have nice heft for something so tiny. They look great and go with my "fancy" espresso cups, as well as my every day ones. (I like tiny cups - they are handy for many purposes beyond espresso - Instead of "super-size me" - please down-size me). Mary K.
I bought these mainly to serve Fancy Feast to my cats in their Waterford crystal dishes. I use them everyday and am so glad there are 8 of them so I don't run out between dishwasher loads. Just kidding. But no, I did get them to use as espresso spoons but found them to be perfect for just about anything (including dishing out Fancy Feast). They are wonderfully made - sturdy and strong, and scratch resistant, but also very stylish. They're so nice that I'm going to give them as gifts to my espresso loving friends this holiday.
Inherited a demi- tasse espresso set from my mother years age but unfortunately the spoons (if they existed, did not survive). With their clean, simple design they compliment both sets of tableware look beautiful on table or serving tray and they're dishwasher safe. So for many years I reluctantly put the set away and just served espresso in regular sized coffee cup with measuring size teaspoon.Just returned from vacation in England and Paris and appreciated drinking coffee/tea from regular sized cups (not mugs)served with espresso spoons.Upon return (my two-watt brain bulb lit up) and I inventoried Amazon and found the J.A. Henckels Cottage Stainless - steel Espresso Spoons. What could be better.Bravo J.A. Henckels & Amazon.
These are an excellent buy if you are indeed using them for expresso or, as another reviewer mentioned, as baby spoons. While these spoons are adorable, well made, feel good in your hand,and are a good weight, they are far smaller than what I had expected. I needed these spoons for coffee and tea cups---not for expresso. I hope Amazon will correct their description. I have never come accross an incorrect one before.
J.A. Henckels makes the quality flatware for the price. Good value. These spoons make great coffee cup stirrers.
