Choosing drinking glasses is not simply a matter of shape or colour. A model that is perfect for coffee may prove impractical for wine, while an elegant glass may require time-consuming care. To avoid unpleasant surprises, focus above all on capacity, material, resistance to temperature changes and washing requirements.
A 30 or 40 cl glass will not be filled right to the brim. With ice cubes, froth or a garnish, the volume actually available is reduced further. Conversely, an 80 to 90 ml espresso glass is suitable for a small serving, not a mug of long coffee.
Before placing your order, match the capacity to its intended use:
Double-walled glasses contain an insulating layer of air. They help keep your drink at the right temperature for longer and limit condensation on the table. Their outer wall also generally feels more comfortable to hold. However, this does not make them immune to sudden temperature changes.
Avoid pouring a boiling-hot drink into a cold glass, placing a hot glass on a very cold surface or immediately plunging a hot glass into cold water. Double walls do not remove the need to follow the manufacturer's usage instructions.
A six-piece glass set is suitable for family meals as well as guests, but it takes up more space in the cupboard. Tall models can also be difficult to fit into some dishwashers.
The mention dishwasher-safe glasses is convenient, but take the time to check the care recommendations. Excessively high temperatures, pieces knocking against one another or abrasive detergent can dull the surfaces over time. For fine glasses, hand washing often helps preserve their shine, even when the manufacturer permits dishwasher use.
Borosilicate glasses are valued for their clarity and better resistance to thermal changes compared with some standard glasses. They are particularly suitable for hot drinks, provided you follow the manufacturer's instructions. Borosilicate is still glass, however, and can break.
Lead-free crystal glasses offer the transparency and brilliance sought for an elegant table setting. In a product description, this term should be accompanied by a clear explanation of the material and intended use. It does not mean that the glass is unbreakable.
Shape affects presentation, stability and the way aromas are perceived. A low whisky glass with a heavy base is suitable for ice cubes and short cocktails. A stemmed wine glass keeps your hand away from the contents and leaves more room to observe the colour and swirl the aromas.
For coffee, a handle makes the glass easier to hold. Conversely, a handleless double-walled glass shows off the different layers of a latte or espresso more effectively.
Before first use, rinse the glasses in warm water. Inspect the rims and walls regularly: a crack, chip or deep scratch means the item should be discarded. Glasses designed for hot drinks must not be used in an oven or microwave unless the manufacturer explicitly permits it.

Yes, when they have been designed for this purpose by the manufacturer. Double-walled borosilicate coffee glasses are particularly suitable for espresso, cappuccino or latte, depending on their capacity. However, they must be protected from thermal shock and checked before every use.
Wine glasses generally have a stem and a bowl designed to hold a particular serving size. Table glasses are more versatile and can be used for water, juices or cold drinks. When entertaining, a set combining several matching sizes can complement your tableware without limiting each glass to a single use.
