Demitasse

A demitasse (/ˈdɛm[invalid input: 'ɨ']tæs/; French: "half cup") is a small cup used to serve Turkish coffee or espresso. In some languages it is called fincan, fildžan, filxhan or φλιτζάνι (flidzáni). In Spanish, it is called a pocillo.

It typically has about 60–90 ml (2–3 fl oz)^{[citation needed]} capacity — half the size of a full coffee cup (a tasse à café is about 120 ml (4 fl oz)). Typically they are made of ceramic, pottery or porcelain^{[citation needed]} and accompanied by matching saucers, but some coffeehouses and china companies also produce brightly decorated varieties.^{[citation needed]} ^[1]^[2] Another type of demitasse has a glass cup set into a metal frame.
