Nice design, misleading size
I own some of the larger Bodum glasses and have been pleased with all of them. However, these glasses are far too big to be practically used as espresso shot glasses. The review claims they are 3oz glasses, though they can actually fit 4.5 oz to the brim. A double-shot of espresso takes up less than half of the available volume. The outside of the glass itself is significantly more than twice the size of any other actual 3oz shot glass. The glass filled with espresso as shown on the box must be roughly 4oz of liquid.
They are nicely designed and nothing is physically wrong with the glasses as long as your are gentle. They are perfect for espresso macchiato.
fantastic!
I was in NYC earlier this year on business, and I was served an espresso in one of these glasses. It stayed hot for at least 5 times longer than a normal glass and I immediately bought 4 when I returned home. I use these every day; they are utilitarian and beautiful - perfect design in other words.
Make it a double-shot, please
These are great little glasses for espresso. They are about 3 oz., so I use them when pulling double shots. The extra ounce allows some room for drips or for pulling the double long. No heat comes through to the outer surface of the glass so you don't burn your fingers and the shot stays hot longer. I love using a transparent glass to show off the crema - it looks like a mini pint of Guiness!
