These glass espresso cups are actually a bit nicer than I was expecting. They have a nice heavy feel to them, but not overly so - just a good solid, well made feel. I was a little worried the wire handles might feel cheap, but that's not the case at all. The handles feel and look good and match the overall weight of the glass, etc.

They are a hair large for single or even double shots of espresso, but not overly so. I think if you are having a bit of milk in your shot - or something along those lines - then these glasses will be just about right. They also have the added bonus of letting you see the crema and/or how everything mixes together, etc.

For the price, I would say it's quite a bargain. Even if I had paid $20 for these, I still would have been pleased.

My only concern was the absolute lack of packing to protect them. Luckily our delivery guy must have taken good care of the box, because they don't exactly bend over backwards at Amazon to protect these. When I opened the box and removed each one, I was holding my breath and expecting to see at least one with a chip or crack. However, due to the sturdy (perhaps even tempered?) glass these use, they survived the trip in one piece.

Again, very good value for the money. I first saw these in use at a local coffee shop down in Oceanside and I'm happy to say they are as nice as I remembered them (if not maybe even a touch nicer! :-)

These cups are awesome because the metal base and handle detach from the glass, allowing you to position the handle at any angle around the glass itself. This is great for left-handed people who are normally forced to use right-handed mugs.

These were really nice. The handle says cool and the cup comes out of the handles and rim for easy cleaning. Good Price. Great Product.

These little cups are aesthetically cool and perfect for espresso. The only thing I don't like is that the metal handle and base come off if I don't make sure they're on tight after washing. They pop back on easily.

I purchased these to go with my DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker and they work perfectly. Cute, perfect height.. the only downside is that the metal part around the bottom, attached to the handle, tends to slide around or come off during washing. Easy to put back on though, and I haven't had any issues with it during use. I definitely recommend these cups.

I am very pleased with the espresso set I recently purchased. They are simple yet elegant -- and the price was right.

These espresso glasses are very stylish and modern; they look even better in person than they do in the pictures. The metal handle/base snaps off for easy cleaning, which is nice as well. They are a little over 3 ounces, so you can do a double shot or triple shot of espresso with some room to spare.

absolutely beautiful cuips, even better than expected, quality craftsmanship, elegant, perfect size. I would say these are flawless and I would easily have paid twice the very reasonable price. One of my smartest, best purchases in a long time. We like double and triple espresso shots, and these are perfect for both. Highly recommend!

Great quality glass cups, pretty and solid. They hold a bigger (longer) espresso while still fitting under the espresso machine. The metal holder allows you to pick up and hold the cup even if the content is boiling hot. The glass is very resistant, and this was tested: the first time I used these babies of course I knocked them off the warming top of the espresso machine and went flying on the granite counter bouncing one on the stove and one in the sink. I expected to find a shattered mess. To my surprise, not the slightest mark or crack or anything. I think you could throw them at the wall and nothing would happen.

I ended up ordering these by mistake. I wanted the Capucinno (spelling) cups, so I did a re-order and sent the expresso cups back. However, if money was not an issue, I would have kept these cups too.
