Question 1

Can I actually use this as a milk frothing pitcher for my espresso machine?**

Accepted Answer

While the V-shaped spout is designed for a clean pour, the 6oz (180ml) capacity is generally too small for effective milk steaming and frothing with most home machines. Most social media reviewers and home baristas love this cup, but consistently note it's best used as a precise *measuring cup* for espresso shots, syrups, or as a small serving pitcher for already-frothed milk.

Question 2

Is the glass handle securely attached and truly dishwasher safe?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the handle is designed to be dishwasher safe. Based on user feedback, the vast majority report no issues with repeated dishwasher cycles. However, as with any glassware with attached components, we recommend placing it securely in the top rack to minimize any potential stress on the handle's bond over time.

Question 3

The title says "Double Shots" but it's 6oz. Will this work for my espresso?**

Accepted Answer

Great question! The "Double Shots" refers to two *lungo* (longer) espresso shots or a large single shot, not two traditional ristretto shots. It holds a full 6 fluid ounces (180ml) and features clear measurement markings, making it perfect for weighing your coffee output or following precise recipes. If you prefer a smaller, classic demitasse, you may want to look for a 2-3oz cup.

Question 4

What are the exact dimensions? I need to know if it will fit under my machine's group head.**

Accepted Answer

The cup is approximately 3.15 inches (8 cm) in height and 2.75 inches (7 cm) in diameter at the rim. This compact size allows it to fit under most home espresso machine group heads, but we always recommend comparing these measurements to your specific machine's clearance for absolute certainty.

Question 5

Who is this cup really best suited for?**

Accepted Answer

This cup is a hit with home baristas who geek out on precision—it's fantastic for measuring espresso yield and water for Americanos. It's also great for anyone who wants a versatile, elegant-looking glass for small tasks like measuring syrups, serving condiments, or as a modern shot glass. If your primary need is a dedicated milk steamer pitcher, a larger stainless steel option would be more suitable.
