Espresso Measuring Glass

Read the shot instead of guessing at it.

You cannot judge a 1:2 ratio by looking at a cup. This is the glass that sits under the portafilter and tells you what actually came out — marked in millilitres up one side and ounces up the other, so you can stop the shot at the same point every time.

• Marked to 75 ml / 2 oz in 15 ml steps, in a 100 ml borosilicate glass — 6 cm across, 5.5 cm tall.
• Double spout sits under a two-spout portafilter and splits the shot cleanly into two cups; single spout pours into one.
• Wooden handle, because the glass gets hot.
• Short enough to fit under the group on small machines. Hand wash.

It is also the glass in the Espresso Prep Kit and the Latte Art Set — this page is here so you can see it properly and buy a second one.

The honest version

A measuring glass tells you the volume. If you want the number that actually matters — grams out — you need a scale. This is the cheap way to get most of the way there, and a useful thing to own even once you have one.
