Espresso glass

Also known as espresso cup · shot glass · vaso medidor · graduated shot glass · demitasse

What it is and what sets it apart: Doesn’t replace a scale—helps see blonding/volume. Differs from a big opaque mug.

What it’s for and how to use it: Tare with scale under → extract → compare ml vs grams. Preheat.

Cup impact or benefit: Better blonding feedback; teach ratio at home.

Technical notes: Borosilicate resists shock. ml marks are approximate with crema.

Common mistakes: Trusting ml only. Pouring into a huge cold mug.
