There’s a sophisticated joy in the ritual of a perfectly brewed espresso, and the TEVLAUXO Porcelain Espresso Cup & Saucer Set elevates that moment into a small celebration. These 2-ounce cups, with their antiqued white porcelain and subtle gold trim, feel both timeless and modern—a fitting match for a cozy corner of my colonial cottage here in Coventry, Pennsylvania. The curved handles rest gently between fingers, and the matching saucers catch each precious drop.

Of course, every espresso needs a sweet companion. I’ve paired these petite cups with my favorite Almond Orange Biscotti—crisp, citrus-kissed, and perfect for dipping into each rich, dark sip.

Almond Orange Biscotti

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 orange)
• 1 cup whole almonds, toasted and chopped
• ½ cup sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Beat Eggs & Flavor: In a large bowl, beat eggs, vanilla, and orange zest until pale and thick.
4. Mix Dough: Gradually fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Stir in chopped almonds.
5. Form Logs: Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a log about 12" long and 2" wide. Transfer to the prepared sheet.
6. First Bake: Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Remove and let cool 10 minutes.
7. Slice & Top: Reduce oven to 300°F (150°C). Slice logs diagonally into ¾" thick slices. Place cut-side down on the sheet, sprinkle with sliced almonds and turbinado sugar.
8. Second Bake: Bake 15–20 minutes, until crisp and dry. Cool on a rack.
9. Serve: Arrange biscotti alongside your espresso cups. Dip, sip, and savor each perfect moment.

May these Almond Orange Biscotti and your TEVLAUXO espresso cups bring you warmth, elegance, and a touch of sweetness with every coffee break—just as they do to mine.
