Negative Product Points
• Slightly tricky to wash without stressing the glass • Almost too good at insulating
Detailed Commentary
I bought my glasses while living in the land of their birth, Switzerland, and can say there is absolutely no difference between what we get in the States and there. Yes, that was a waste of words, but I am trying to fill up the minimum of five hundred characters, such as writing out 'five hundred' instead of writing '500'. There ya go.
For glass cups, these are hard to beat. I like being able to see how much crema there is in my shots, and it is nice to see the drink from the side. I have both the two ounce and nine ounce Pavinas and the larger ones work well with lattes. One issue that I did not realize until a friend pointed it out to me is that the Pavinas do such a good job of insulating that they retain almost too much heat, making regular espressos slightly less enjoyable.
I think that should be five hundred words. Good glasses. Get some if you want glass.
