HARIO Espresso Shot Glass 80ml

The HARIO Espresso Shot Glass 80ml is a no-nonsense tool for baristas and home enthusiasts who want repeatable results and tidy workflow. Made from heatproof borosilicate glass, the Espresso Shot Glass handles hot espresso straight from the group with minimal thermal shock and zero flavour transfer — so you can measure volume without altering the taste. The glass includes clear incremental markings (20 / 40 / 60 ml and ounce equivalents) that make it simple to confirm single and double shot yields and to calibrate dosing during machine setup or daily checks.

Compact but thoughtfully sized, the 80 ml capacity gives plenty of room for a double espresso while keeping the cup small enough to sit comfortably under most commercial group spouts. Its square base and short profile (approximately W60 × D60 × H70 mm) fit easily on tamping mats, scales or drip trays and make the glass stable during filling. The clarity of the borosilicate also helps when assessing crema colour and extraction flow — handy when you’re tuning recipes or training staff.

Durability and practicality are central to the design. Borosilicate glass is chosen for its resistance to thermal shock and mechanical wear, and the Espresso Shot Glass is dishwasher safe for quick turnover in busy environments. At roughly 100–130 g, it’s lightweight enough for regular use but substantial enough to feel solid and well-made in hand. The minimalist form and neutral clear finish mean it integrates with any machine aesthetic or service bar.

Beyond measuring espresso, the HARIO shot glass is a versatile small vessel for small-batch tasting, measuring syrup or milk shots, and for quality checks during maintenance (for example when testing group head flow or purge). Its combination of accurate markings, heatproof material and compact footprint make it an essential, low-cost addition to any espresso workflow from home setups to specialty cafés.

Who this is for & use cases
The HARIO shot glass is ideal for:

• Home baristas who want to measure and calibrate espresso yields accurately.
• Specialty café baristas and trainers performing extraction checks, dosing calibration and crema inspection.
• Service technicians using a compact, heatproof vessel for flow and purge testing.
• Anyone needing a small, hygienic vessel for syrups, milk shots or tasting samples.

Practical tips for best results

1. Use the graduated lines to target your yield (e.g., 36–40 ml for a standard double) and record results to refine dose and grind.
2. Pre-heat the glass briefly with hot water to reduce early heat loss when testing shots for calibration.
3. Place on your scale for in-line volumetric checks — the square base helps keep the glass centred.
4. Rinse or run through the dishwasher after each service period to avoid oil buildup that can affect clarity.

Small, accurate and built to last, the HARIO Espresso Shot Glass 80ml is a must-have for anyone serious about espresso consistency. With heatproof borosilicate construction, clear graduated markings and a compact footprint that fits under most machines, it’s the simple tool that makes daily calibration, quality checks and neat service far easier. Add one to your kit and make every shot measurable.
