The MELITTA M-Collection espresso glass is made from lead crystal and holds 80 ml with a height of 54 mm. Designed for single-shot espressos and small specialty servings, the clear crystal construction highlights crema and coffee color while offering a compact silhouette that fits most saucers and espresso trays. The glass balances presentation and practical use, providing a neutral, transparent vessel that showcases espresso extraction details for home use, cafés, or professional tasting sessions.

Advantages

Its 80 ml capacity and 54 mm height are optimized for single espressos or ristretto portions, while the compact shape improves heat retention compared with very shallow cups. The straight-sided design simplifies pouring and cleaning and the sturdy base provides stable placement on flat surfaces.

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.

Usage 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.
