I am such a big fan of these as all three parts are thick glass and of such nice quality too. It’s a perfect size for iced lattes, too. Highly recommend! It’s easy to clean, as it is dishwasher safe. Pair this cup with a bag of the good Sonic pebble ice, and it’s coffee heaven
Plus, I feel kinda fancy drinking from it! Ha
Powdered espresso is convenient to have on hand, and this Nescafé brand honestly tastes smooth and fantastic. I am always pleasantly thrilled at the coffee shop style taste. If you prefer to brew your own espresso shot instead, that is another great option!
