Usage Note
Tazza means a cup or mug for hot drinks (una tazza di caffè = a cup of coffee). It also refers to the bowl of a toilet (la tazza del water). The plural is tazze. The diminutive tazzina specifically means an espresso cup — a culturally important distinction in Italy, where coffee culture is precise about vessel size.
