Excellent, But Fragile
I haven't had a problem with these, and love 'em! I haven't broken one yet (knock wood!). I do wash them gently by hand, am extremely mindful to handle them with care, and don't add sugar (i.e., no spoons stirring in the cups). They hold two shots ("dopio"), keep the espresso hot for a reasonable amt. of time (I pre-heat mine under hot water prior to brewing), and look the business! There's something about seeing the espresso churn in the cup (i.e., looks just like Guinness being drawn from the tap in pint glasses) and seeing the meniscus of the espresso and the crema on top that is highly appealing! I've got a set of these, a set of Bodum Pavina's (good also, but no handle and only good for a single "solo" shot), and Bodum Paula's as well (ok, and also hold only a solo, but are not glass). I'd buy these again...recommended.

Alright, but there are better ones
We bought a few of these as an alternative to the much more expensive glasses of the same style from Bodum. However, these were no match, and we returned them to get the ones from Bodum. They cost a lot more but are much nicer in every way. The handle on these is square and not as comfortable to hold. The capacity is too low, slightly less than the rated four ounces.

Elegant Double Walled Cup
I love these glasses. The double wall glass keeps all of the heat away from the outer surface. Very light weight and artsy. They will not endure a drop on the floor so treat these cups with care. And no, they do not look like "plastic" as some suggest. I use mine for small cappucinos. The 4 oz size is probably not large enough for a cup of coffee.
