Review on Espresso Cups Shot Glass Coffee by Tim Paolucci

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These cups have perfected my daily espresso ritual.

I just started drinking coffee this year and these little cups have made it my favorite daily ritual. We were given a Nespresso machine as a gift and I really enjoyed eating single or double portions for breakfast. But taking a shot in an ordinary cup looked silly and caused a small batch of coffee to cool down almost instantly. So it was impossible to linger over tiny sips of rich, hot espresso. These mugs changed all that. They do exactly what they claim to do, which is to keep espresso hotter longer while keeping it cool to the touch. An added bonus is that you can see the layers of coffee and crema hidden behind a regular metal mug or shot glass. These double-walled cups allow me to take my time and enjoy small sips of my favorite espresso. No ritual ends here. The size, shape and thickness of these mugs make hand washing a real pleasure. They can be washed in the dishwasher, but they fit my hands so perfectly that I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to hand wash them. Do not judge me. Just buy a set if you drink espresso. You will not regret it. Or give them to an espresso lover you know. The recyclable gift packaging is just great.

Pros
  • Suitable for most espresso machines. Our 2.7 oz espresso cups fit under a portafilter and hold 2 shots of espresso.
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
