£12.90

When pouring a delicious espresso or making a quick latte to start your day, having a lovely cup to drink out of is half of the enjoyment. I personally think picking the perfect cup or mug is part of the overall experience of the coffee, and when you get the perfect mug, it makes the coffee even better. For this reason, I was super excited to use the Stellar Glass Espresso and Latte cups from Wacaco.

Wacaco are experts in the coffee field from their innovative coffee machines to their range of accessories that make every coffee experience feel that little bit more luxurious. It is this passion for coffee experiences that makes the design of the Stellar Glass Espresso and Latte Art cups so special, as each one is carefully designed to be super functional whilst also looking beautiful for a great all-around coffee experience.

Straight out of the box, I noticed just how beautiful yet sturdy the glasses felt. The cups were neatly stacked together, with the smaller espresso cup sitting inside the slightly larger latte cup. Each one is made from 3.5mm thick soda lime glass which provides a sturdy feeling to the cups and ensures your drink stays warmer for longer so you can savour those last few drops. The bottom has a unique 8-sided design which is great for a comfortable fit in the palm of your hand, whilst also looking beautiful as you pour your coffee into them each day. The design aims to provide an all-round great sensory experience, to make every espresso or latte perfect to the very last sip.

I particularly liked that the stackable sizes mean that the smaller 60ml espresso cup fits neatly into the larger 200ml latte cup. These would make the perfect gift for a coffee lover to add to their coffee station as they look beautiful and are the perfect size to stack beside your coffee machine, ready to make a whole range of coffee specialities. I will note that as they are made of glass, you do need to take a little extra care when making a drink as sudden changes to the temperature of the glass could lead to cracks. Plus, they are not microwavable. However, these are quite common aspects of many glass coffee cups so it’s not too much of an inconvenience.

Overall, I think the Stellar Glass Espresso and Latte cups would make the perfect gift as they provide a solid, aesthetically pleasing yet durable coffee vessel. The cups stack easily so can be safely stored more compactly, and thanks to the thick glass design they even warm your hands when drinking without getting too hot. Plus, at such an affordable price point, why not buy a few sets for the whole family so everyone can have their own beautiful espresso or latte cup!

Pros:

• Beautiful 8sided bottom design for an ergonomic feel and aesthetically pleasing exterior
• Made from thick lime-soda glass for sturdiness and stability
• Affordable price point great as a gift for any coffee lover

Cons:

• Like with most glass coffee cups, there is a risk of cracks if the temperature of the glass is changed too abruptly
