Looking for a good espresso shot glass

May 22nd, 2019, 7:30 pm

I had a Espresso Supply 4-Ounce Logo Shot Glass but I recently dropped it and it broke. I really liked it but they are no longer made. Can anyone recommend a good shot glass for espresso?

I've brought this up in a recent similar thread. I'm a commercial photographer, mainly involving alcohol...beer, wine, spirits.. at this stage in my career, and have been photographing a custom cocktail glass blowers stuff for a few years now. They're beautiful. They're handmade and you'll pay for that but hold one and you'll understand. I sometimes pull an espresso in them. Well, and right now I'm having a gin and elderflower cocktail out of one.

He makes a few different sizes. These are on the smaller end of the scale.

I broke quite a few of the double wall thin ones in succession:) , these take a beating.

Would you be so kind as to measure the diameter of the top? The height is good for my use but over the years I have collected quite a few shot glasses none of which is the Goldilocks just right set of dimensions.

notNeutral's Vero line has some of the nicest espresso glass cups. I can't recommend them enough, even more so if you admire the look of a gibraltar/cortado cut but want a smaller cup.

I use an insulated espresso glass, It has a dual wall keep the espresso hotter for longer. It's a lot of manufactures make this type of cups, Just search on the espresso insulated glass cups.

Hi,
I'm looking for my first cups but I don't know which size to choose ( I don't have my espresso machine yet so I can't test it)

I would like little glasses with double wall for double shots / single shot, is 4Oz good? or would it be a little short for a double shot?

And I also would like one for latte!

What sizes would you recommend?

Thank you!
