The process of creating the perfect espresso is very important, particularly for those who are connoisseurs of the brew. In order to help in measuring the espresso into 1 or 2oz shots the use of shot glasses is necessary. This has made these small espresso shot glasses very useful and they have been designed in an imaginative and vast array of different sizes.
