Did you ever look at the Linea Mini... and say to yourself, "I really wish this was smaller"?  No? Me either, but just about a week ago the folks at La Marzocco Home dropped something brand new; the Linea Micra.  If it looks familiar, that's because its more or less the spitting image of the Linea...

Fellow Monty – Cappuccino Milk Art Cups

The Fellow Monty... not to be confused with the "full Monty", is a newcomer to the milk cup market.  At least they seem new to me, I didn't see them popping up until the last couple months.  They looked intriguing to me, as I do love all things without handles (note my favorite handleless milk pitcher)....
