I bought these:

I need them to be stackable - is there something else that would be better?

What makes a good cupping glass, anyway?

Duralex Picardie 220ml's

(Why?)

Perfectly sized for cupping (220ml or 7.7oz hits the spot)

Economical (a pack of 6 is around $10-20, maybe even less)

Virtually unbreakable (speaking from experience.. i launched this cup onto the floor while pressing an Aeropress on it.. and it was still 100% the same as it was before the incident)

Thermal stability (although not as good as a cupping bowl.. it kinda comes close)

I've seen a few specialty cafes using Duralex's for cupping purposes.. like;

The Chillout Cafe https://www.instagram.com/p/_BRfo8MpIy/

Hell.. i once did some personal cupping sessions using a paper cup.. :oops: (which was kinda decent but wasn't ideal since the temp stability is terrible)
It could be as complex or as simple as you want. It's the choice of the barista.
