Espresso Cups & Milk Pitcher - any advice?

    I'm off to New York next week for a short trip and whilst I'm in the city I was hoping I might pick up some bargain coffee accesories that I've avoided investing in around Dublin due to a lack of choice and real lack of value. I pretty much buy most of my stuff from Hasbean but Steve doesn't do much in the way of espresso cups, and though I like the look of the espro and motta jugs I read somewhere on another thread that they weren't great for doing latte art. Any opinions on what pitchers to look for, or any recommedations on espresso cups.

    I saw some fine Illy espresso cups on espressocoffeeshop but would really like to see them up close before I invested:

    I like plain simple, cheap steaming pitchers. Sweeney O'Rourke on Pearse St do them, though I think you can get similar ones with better spouts elsewhere.

    For espresso cups, why not go to some of the really nice coffee shops in NY and buy some of their cups. Cafe Grumpy / Gimme / 9th St Espresso etc will all probably sell cup (I have a lovely Cafe Grumpy demitasse - Nuova Point - v. thick).
