Espresso set Ritzenhoff & Breker AMERICANO, 4-piece clear glass, dishwasher-safe, 80 ml cups

The AMERICANO espresso set by ritzenhoff & breker comprises four clear glass espresso cups with matching saucers, each designed to hold 80 ml. The set is intended for serving single-shot espressos or small coffee specialties and is made of transparent glass that highlights the beverage colour and crema. The components are dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning and suitable for everyday use in homes, small cafés, or office kitchens.

Advantages

The clear glass construction provides a neutral appearance that fits different table settings and lets you see the coffee level at a glance. Each cup’s 80 ml capacity matches common espresso portion sizes while the included saucers protect surfaces and make transport easier. Dishwasher-safe materials reduce manual cleaning time and help maintain consistent presentation in repeated use.

Suitable for

• Serving single-shot espresso portions (approx. 80 ml)
• Small cafés, bistros, or break rooms in offices
• Home kitchens and informal entertaining
• Visual presentation of coffee color and crema

When it may not be suitable

This set is not intended for large-capacity coffee drinks such as lattes or cappuccinos that require larger vessels. The clear glass material, while durable for everyday use, may not provide insulation comparable to double-walled or thick porcelain cups, so beverages will cool faster.

Key specifications

• Set composition: 4 cups with matching saucers
• Capacity per cup: 80 ml
• Material: clear glass
• Care: dishwasher-safe
• Design: transparent, minimal styling

How to use

Use each cup to serve a standard espresso portion up to 80 ml. Place the cup on its saucer to catch drips and make carrying easier. After use, place cups and saucers in the dishwasher following the appliance manufacturer’s instructions and recommended loading patterns to avoid contact that could cause chipping. For hand washing, use warm water and a non-abrasive cloth.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended drink sizes—suitable for espresso and small specialties, not large milk-based drinks
• Clear glass provides less thermal insulation than double-walled or ceramic cups
• Check dishwasher recommendations for delicate glass items if you use an intensive cycle

Usage recommendations

To preserve appearance and prevent accidental damage, avoid rapid temperature changes (for example, pouring boiling liquid into a frozen or very cold cup) and stack items in the dishwasher only if the appliance and cycle are suitable for glassware. Serve espresso shortly after extraction to enjoy optimal aroma and crema.
