I haven't had a problem with these, and love 'em! I haven't broken one yet (knock wood!). I do wash them gently by hand, am extremely mindful to handle them with care, and don't add sugar (i.e., no spoons stirring in the cups). They hold two shots ("dopio"), keep the espresso hot for a reasonable amt. of time (I pre-heat mine under hot water prior to brewing), and look the business! There's something about seeing the espresso churn in the cup (i.e., looks just like Guinness being drawn from the tap in pint glasses) and seeing the meniscus of the espresso and the crema on top that is highly appealing! I've got a set of these, a set of Bodum Pavina's (good also, but no handle and only good for a single "solo" shot), and Bodum Paula's as well (ok, and also hold only a solo, but are not glass). I'd buy these again...recommended.

We bought a few of these as an alternative to the much more expensive glasses of the same style from Bodum. However, these were no match, and we returned them to get the ones from Bodum. They cost a lot more but are much nicer in every way. The handle on these is square and not as comfortable to hold. The capacity is too low, slightly less than the rated four ounces.

I love these glasses. The double wall glass keeps all of the heat away from the outer surface. Very light weight and artsy. They will not endure a drop on the floor so treat these cups with care. And no, they do not look like "plastic" as some suggest. I use mine for small cappucinos. The 4 oz size is probably not large enough for a cup of coffee.

THESE ARE NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. Just after 2 or 3 washes, they had water on the inside of them, and they cracked. 2 of them broke just as I set them on the counter. They are very cheap.

Love these glasses! They don't sweat and they look really nice on the table. Light weight and durable - highly recommend.

The double lined glass wall id perfect for hot coffee.
It stays hot longer with this design.
You will also not burn your hands if you touch the sides.
I recommend.

enjoyable to drink out of, these glasses feel a bit fragile, but get the job done. aesthetically pleasing, form and function together. recommended

Luigi Bormioli Duo 4-Ounce Espresso Glasses, Set of 4
I love the appearance, functionality, and style of the Duo glassware. We have the 16oz Dou glasses and the 4oz expresso glasses. The company would seem to have a quality control problem in their manufacture, as one of the 16 oz glasses and one of the 4oz glasses developed a leak in the seal between the inner and outer glasses, and the first time in the dishwasher collected water between the two layers that won't go away. Because of this I would not purchase more of this product.

These are the best thing for expresso. No need to pre-heat. They instantly hold the shot with no worries about losing flavor. You espresso heads know what I mean. I highly recommend these.

Very nice set of glasses. They are a little on the delicate side and need to be handled and cleaned with care, but overall a good product.
