Frequently Asked Questions

What size espresso does this glass hold?

The Vero 3oz (90ml) glass is perfectly sized for double espresso shots (typically 2oz/60ml), leaving room to appreciate the crema without overflow. It works beautifully for single shots too, and the 3oz size is also ideal for cortados, tasting whiskey neat, or serving small cocktails.

Is the emerald color just a coating or throughout the glass?

The emerald color is solid throughout the entire glass, not a coating, paint, or glaze. This means the vibrant green won't chip, fade, or wear off over time. The color is achieved during the glass-making process itself.

Are these glasses handcrafted?

Yes! Each Vero glass is crafted with attention to quality and detail. This artisanal process means slight variations in color, small bubbles, and rippling effects naturally occur - these are distinctive attributes that prove authenticity and quality, not defects.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

Absolutely! The Vero glasses are dishwasher safe despite their handcrafted nature. We recommend placing them on the top rack and avoiding overcrowding. However, hand washing is recommended for maximum longevity and to preserve the beautiful finish.

Are these good for anything besides espresso?

Definitely! While designed for espresso, the 3oz capacity is perfect for:

• Tasting whiskey, bourbon, or scotch neat
• Serving tequila or mezcal shots
• Small cocktails and aperitifs
• Cortado coffee drinks
• Dessert portions (mousse, panna cotta)
• Sauce cups for entertaining

Many customers buy them specifically for whiskey tasting!

How heavy are these glasses?

The Vero espresso glass weighs approximately 230g (8.1 oz), which is substantial and feels premium in hand. This heavy weight provides stability, prevents tipping, and communicates quality. The thickness and weight are intentional design choices that enhance the drinking experience.

Do the bubbles and variations mean they're defective?

No! Natural variations are proof of authenticity. Because each glass is hand-pressed, small bubbles, slight rippling, and minor color variations naturally occur. These are distinctive attributes of handmade glass that add character and uniqueness - each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. They will not be accepted as warranty claims because they're inherent to the handcrafted process.

Can I mix and match colors?

Absolutely! The Vero collection is sold individually specifically so you can build a custom set. Many customers collect multiple colors to create a rainbow effect or choose 2-3 complementary colors for their aesthetic. The emerald pairs beautifully with clear, amber, or ocean blue.

Will the color fade over time?

No. Because the color is solid throughout the glass (not a coating), it cannot fade, chip off, or wear away. The emerald green will look the same years from now as it does today, even with daily use and dishwasher cleaning.

Are these made from lead-free glass?

Yes, the Vero glasses are made from lead-free glass. They're safe for everyday use with hot and cold beverages. The hand-pressed manufacturing process and quality materials ensure safety without compromising the beautiful design.

What's the difference between Vero and Lino collections?

Vero is the glassware collection featuring hand-pressed glass with faceted designs in various colors. Lino is the porcelain mug collection with smooth, curved designs. Both share the same award-winning interior curve optimized for specialty coffee, but Vero offers the transparency and modern aesthetic of glass while Lino provides the classic warmth of ceramic.

Can these go in the microwave?

Yes! The Vero glasses are microwave safe, making them practical for reheating beverages. However, note that glass heats faster than ceramic, so use caution when removing and test temperature before drinking.

How do I know which color to choose?

Each color has its own personality and works for different aesthetics:

• Emerald - Vibrant, sophisticated, jewel-toned elegance. Best for bold statements
• Clear - Classic, versatile, showcases espresso perfectly. Best for minimalists
• Smoke - Modern, mysterious, masculine aesthetic. Best for contemporary spaces
• Amber - Warm, vintage, golden hour vibe. Best for cozy, rustic kitchens
