Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Nice look, about the size of a tea cup. Comment: The title says it. They are clear glass with a stainless steel saucer, so they really show off the beverage. They are about the size of a fancy tea cup, so not really appropriate for people who like big mugs of drip. It's also bigger than the demitasse espresso shot cups. It's about right for a cup of tea or for French press coffee.
They've been pretty durable, but I have not abused them. I hand wash, but the glass is pretty durable. I'd pay attention to not scratching the saucers. No problem yet, but scratches would show up pretty clearly if it were to happen. I'm guessing they'd scratch if I left them on the bottom of a sink full of knives, forks and other dishes. Customer Rating: Summary: Larger cup than usually found for espresso... Comment: I searched forever to find a cup/saucer set small enough to use for espresso (with foam as we like it) and also doubles as coffee service similar to the size cups used in South America. This was the only set I found larger than the usual 2-3oz versions which are difficult when adding in sugar or steamed milk for mini cappucinos. I like the clear glass and unlike my smaller porcelain ones I don't have to pre-warm these. These cups are dainty as the glass and saucer are thin but fine for my purpose as the drink is consumed rather quickly.
