Description
Judge 2-piece Duo Flare espresso glass set, 75ml
Judge makes two shapes of 75ml Duo espresso glass, and this is the Flare version, its mouth flaring wide before narrowing down toward a small base.
Judge makes two different 75ml espresso glasses under the Duo name, and this is the Flare one: a wide mouth that narrows down toward the base, rather than the rounded bowl used on the Form-range equivalent. At this size, the crema and the shot itself sit differently in the glass than they would in a rounder cup.
Small glasses need double-walled insulation more than large ones, since a single layer would turn uncomfortably hot within seconds of an espresso being poured. Here, two fused layers of mouth-blown borosilicate glass trap a sealed air pocket, keeping the shot hot while the outside stays comfortable. The same tapered shape scales up through the Flare-range cappuccino and latte glasses, for a matching set.
Ideal For
Anyone who drinks straight espresso rather than milky coffee gets a glass properly sized for a single shot, not a larger latte glass pressed into service.
Pairs neatly with the matching Flare cappuccino 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 75ml capacity, just in the Flare silhouette instead.
Key Features
Each glass holds 75ml, sized for a single espresso shot rather than a larger milky coffee, matching a standard espresso measure.
The wide-mouthed Flare-range profile flares out toward the rim and narrows toward the base, a distinctly different silhouette from the rounded Form espresso glass.
An insulating air pocket between two layers of glass keeps the espresso hot while the outside stays cool enough to hold.
Made from borosilicate glass for strength and clarity, so the espresso's crema stays 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 wider mouth, a different shape
Judge's Duo range includes two different espresso glass shapes, and this is the Flare version: a wide mouth that narrows down toward the base, rather than the rounded bowl used on the Form-range equivalent. At 75ml, the difference in shape doesn't change how much espresso the glass holds, but it does change how the crema and the shot itself are presented as you drink.
The Flare shape, scaled down
The same wide-mouthed, tapered silhouette used on the larger Flare-range cappuccino and latte glasses carries over here, just scaled down to a smaller espresso size. 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 from different ranges.
Small glass, same construction
Despite being the smallest glass in the Duo range, this espresso set is built exactly like the rest: two layers of borosilicate glass fused around a sealed, insulating air pocket, each piece individually mouth-blown by hand. That matters more at this size, not less, since a small glass with a single wall would get uncomfortably hot to hold within seconds of an espresso being poured. The double wall keeps the outside comfortable while the drink itself stays properly hot.
How It Compares

The Verdict
Strengths
- 75ml capacity sized for a single espresso shot
- Wide-mouthed, tapered Flare-range shape, not rounded
- Double-walled glass keeps espresso 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 cappuccino and latte glasses
Considerations
- This is the tapered Flare-range espresso glass, not the rounded Form version, so check the shape in the photos matches what you want.
- At 75ml, this glass suits a single espresso shot rather than a larger milky coffee.
- As hand-blown pieces, slight variation in size or finish between the two glasses is normal, not a fault.
