La Marzocco Espresso Glasses – Shot Glass Set of 6 with Measurement Scale
The espresso falls dark and dense into the glass, the crema settling over it like a fine cap – and the printed line beneath shows you exactly where your shot stands.
Six glasses in clear glass, each with the same printed measurement scale, original from La Marzocco. On the counter they're understated and beautiful at once – in everyday use, they're a small tool that helps you keep an eye on your shot, without you having to calculate anything. Extraction is best described by weight ratio, classically 1:2 between dose and yield – the line on the glass gives you a first, quick read, while the scale next to it has the final word.
No shot is ever quite like another. The bean changes from day to day, so does the humidity in the room, and you're not quite the same person today as you were yesterday. That's not a flaw – it's the real fascination of a drink with over 800 aromatic compounds, more than in a glass of wine. A glance into the glass makes this small, ever-shifting process visible, shot by shot.

Who it's for
For anyone who'd rather see their espresso at home or in the showroom than just guess at it – whether you've just set up your machine or you've been standing in front of it every morning for years. The glasses don't replace a scale, but they make the shot visible, and that alone is a joy. Our opinion here is one of many: some swear by the scale down to the gram, others are happy with a glance at the glass. Both are right.
Pairs well with
If you want to track your yield down to the gram as well, our Normcore and Acaia scales are the natural complement – compact and precise on one side, with app and flow-rate display on the other. And if you're still looking for the machine behind it all, you'll find it in our La Marzocco Collection.
Frequently asked questions

Roastery tip
For most of our community we recommend Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – dense, aromatic, full-bodied, exactly the picture that shows up in the glass. If you want maximum body with no acidity at all, Very Nutty is a good match. And for anyone curious about a fruity experience: Wild Peach is a lovely discovery, never our main promise, but always an option. That's our recommendation, one of many.
