Description
Judge 2-piece Duo Flare cappuccino glass set, 250ml
Flaring outward at the rim before narrowing toward the base, this 250ml Flare-range cup gives a cappuccino's milk foam a wide, open surface to sit on.
This 250ml pair flares outward at the rim before narrowing back down toward the base, a distinctly different profile from the rounded Form-range cappuccino glass sold alongside it. The open, wide mouth gives a deep layer of milk foam somewhere proper to sit, closer to how a cappuccino is often served in a café.
Behind the flared silhouette sits the same build as the rest of the Duo collection: two layers of mouth-blown borosilicate glass fused around a sealed air pocket, keeping the drink hot without heating the outside of the glass. That wide-mouthed profile continues through the Flare-range espresso and latte glasses too, so a full matching set stays consistent from a small shot to a large latte.
Ideal For
Anyone who wants a wide surface of milk foam sitting on top of their cappuccino gets a glass shaped specifically with a flared, open rim for it.
Pairs neatly with the matching Flare espresso and latte glasses, for anyone building a full, coordinated coffee glass set across several different sizes at home.
Anyone who genuinely prefers a wider-mouthed, tapered glass over a rounded bowl still gets exactly the same 250ml capacity, just in the Flare silhouette instead.
Key Features
Each glass holds 250ml, sized for a classic cappuccino with plenty of room for a proper, generous layer of milk foam.
The wide-mouthed Flare-range profile flares out toward the rim and narrows toward the base, a distinctly different silhouette from the rounded Form cappuccino glass.
An insulating air pocket between two layers of glass keeps the drink hot while the outside stays cool enough to hold.
Made from borosilicate glass for strength and clarity, so the layers of a cappuccino stay clearly visible through glass that resists everyday scratches.
Each glass is individually mouth-blown by hand, so the pair carries small, natural variations rather than perfect, machine-made uniformity from one glass to the next.
Both glasses go straight into the dishwasher or microwave, so there's no separate hand-washing routine needed for everyday use at home.
A flared rim for more foam
Judge's Duo range includes two different cappuccino glass shapes, and this is the Flare version: a wide, flared rim that narrows down toward the base, rather than the rounded bowl used on the Form-range equivalent. The open, flared top gives the milk foam a wide surface to sit on, closer to how a cappuccino is often served in a café.
The Flare shape, scaled up
The same wide-mouthed, tapered silhouette used on the smaller Flare-range espresso glass carries over here, simply scaled up to cappuccino size rather than redesigned from scratch. That means anyone building a full Flare-range set gets a consistent shape across every size, from a 75ml espresso through to a 325ml latte, rather than mismatched glassware pulled together from different ranges.
The construction behind the shape
Underneath the flared, tapered profile, this glass is built exactly like the rest of the Duo range: two layers of borosilicate glass fused around a sealed, insulating air pocket, each piece individually mouth-blown by hand. Hot coffee stays hot for longer, the outside stays cool enough to hold, and an iced drink won't leave a wet ring on the table. What sets this apart from the Form-range cappuccino glass is purely the shape, a flared cone here rather than a rounded bowl.

The Verdict
Strengths
- Wide, flared Flare-range shape suited to cappuccino foam
- 250ml capacity sized for a classic cappuccino
- Double-walled glass keeps drinks hot, exterior cool
- Individually mouth-blown, so no two pieces are identical
- Borosilicate glass for strength, clarity and scratch resistance
- Dishwasher and microwave safe for easy everyday use
- Matches the Flare range's espresso and latte glasses
Considerations
- This is the tapered Flare-range cappuccino glass, not the rounded Form version, so check the shape in the photos matches what you want.
- Heat resistance is stated up to 100°C, so these are for hot drinks and washing up, not stovetop, oven or open-flame use.
- As hand-blown pieces, slight variation in size or finish between the two glasses is normal, not a fault.
