Will it break easily?
These are made from borosilicate glass, which is what they use for lab equipment. It handles hot-to-cold temperature changes way better than regular glass. That said, it's still glass. Treat it like you would anything you actually care about. And every set comes with a 1-year warranty that covers accidental damage, so you're covered either way.
Will it fit under my espresso machine?
At 2.5" tall, it fits under pretty much every home espresso machine on the market — Breville, De'Longhi, Gaggia, you name it. No more propping up a tiny cup on a stack of coasters.
Is it worth the price?
Every glass is handblown, double-walled, and individually inspected before we ship it. Most people cycle through cheap glasses every few months. These are meant to be the last ones you buy. Over 100,000 people use them daily and we're carried in Crate & Barrel, so it's not just us saying that.
Can I use it for other drinks?
Of course. It's perfect for espresso, cortados, macchiatos, or even a small pour of whiskey. The 3oz size is versatile — it's just built with espresso in mind first.
Do the colors fade?
Nope. The color is actually part of the glass itself. It's infused into the raw material during the glassblowing process, not painted or coated on the surface. It won't fade, chip, or wash off no matter how many dishwasher cycles you put it through.
