This was a great read. I finally got comfortable with pulling shots on my new Robot (still need lots of practice) to move on to Americanos. I ended up trying a 1:1 espresso to hot water and it was pretty good. I agree that not mixing is the way to go. I pulled right into the hot water 90ml cup and realized that I actually don’t have any glassware for a 2:1 Americano. Any recommendations? For espresso I was hoping to get https://cafune.ca/collections/glassware/products/aram-shot-glass constantly out of stock :(

🤦The KeepCup, of course. It was even on the @coffeegeek guide for under $50 and they have the perfect 6oz size. https://us.keepcup.com/shop/brew-cork-06oz

@justforfun @coffee There's also the Fellow Monty Cortado cups, which are well suited for a 1:1 ratio water to espressso drink.

Thank you for recommendation, I was a bit surprised by the one star reviews for this on Fellow’s own site, could be one-offs QC failures.
Very tempting as it looks like a beautiful piece.

I think I’ll aim for one solid peace of glassware, currently waiting on the following option to be available in cortado.
