How to use

Pre-warm the glass briefly with hot water before extracting espresso to reduce temperature loss and preserve crema. Place on a saucer or tray and pour a single-shot extraction directly into the center of the glass. After use, allow the glass to cool slightly and rinse or wash according to manufacturer care instructions for crystal items. Handle by the base or lower body to avoid leaving fingerprints on the rim and to maintain a clear view of the espresso.

Recommendations

Use with freshly brewed espresso at proper extraction temperature; avoid sudden temperature shocks such as pouring boiling water into a cold crystal glass. Clean with mild detergent and soft cloth to preserve clarity and avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the crystal surface.
