The etched OZ and mL scales let you monitor your shot yield in real time as espresso flows from the portafilter. Instead of guessing or weighing after the fact, you can visually confirm you have hit your target volume, for example a 2 oz (60 mL) double shot, and stop the pull at precisely the right moment. It is one of the simplest upgrades for consistent, repeatable results every morning.

With compact dimensions of just approx. 1.7 in x 1.7 in x 2.4 in (43mm x 43mm x 60mm), this cup fits comfortably under most home espresso machines, including popular models from Breville, Gaggia, and Rancilio. If your drip tray allows at least 2.5 inches (approx. 6.4 cm) of clearance, you should have no trouble at all. It also sits well on most drip-tray grates without sliding.

Absolutely. Borosilicate glass is the same material used in laboratory beakers, chosen specifically for its resistance to thermal shock. You can pull a hot shot directly into the cup without worrying about cracking from sudden temperature changes. It is significantly more durable than standard soda-lime glass. With basic care, like hand washing and avoiding hard impacts, this cup will last through years of daily pulling.

Of course! While it is sized perfectly for single and double espresso shots, many home baristas also use it for ristrettos, cortados, and small pourovers. The clear glass and dual markings make it a handy measuring vessel for any small-volume coffee preparation. Some customers even use it to measure milk or syrup. Its lead-free, food-safe construction means it is versatile and safe for any beverage.

For daily cleaning, simply hand wash with warm water and a gentle dish soap, then dry with a lint-free cloth to keep the glass crystal clear. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as they can dull the polished surface over time. While borosilicate is resilient to heat, storing it away from heavy items will protect it from chips. A quick rinse after each shot keeps coffee oils from building up on the graduation lines.

Absolutely. Every espresso machine, grinder, and accessory is packed with the same precision we put into designing them. We use reinforced boxes and protective cushioning specifically tested for coffee equipment—because a damaged tamper or chipped machine housing isn't acceptable.
