Rhino Coffee Gear - Double Spouted Shot Glass

This is just adorable! I had a good friend pass away ( we called him Rhino ) So when I saw this espresso shot glass I jumped on it. I’m glad I did. It’s nice. Double sided pour spouts and so cute! You need all the “ tools” to make a great espresso and this is one of them. My saying is “ you need a double ( shot), in case of trouble! This will make you happy on a bad day , it does for Me.

I purchased this item in Jan 2021 and used it everyday pulling shots with my Flair 2 Pro manual expresso maker. Perfect little beaker. In Nov 2021, I was wiping it clean, and the little pour spout cracked off! I contacted Rhino customer service, and with no trouble, they got a replacement out in the mail to me. They stand behind their product. Great job, Rhino Coffee Gear!

The cup is sturdy and the markings are clear. It's easy to pour out the espresso. Works great. A bit expensive. Hopefully I don't break it. It is made of glass!

In general, Rhino products are high quality and good value for the price. One minor issue with this one is that the marking will not stand up to the dishwasher. As long as you plan to always hand wash it, you can't go wrong with this product.

Great shot glass to measure out my double shots, I haven’t had a issue with them at all. Easy to clean just run warm water after you use them for your espresso to clean and if you want use a little soap on a paper towel to hand wash it. I haven’t had any problems so far not cracks either. 5/5 stars for now. I like the handle too, most shot glasses don’t have one.

THE ITEM I REC'D THIS MONTH (APRIL 2021) IS _NOT_ THE SAME AS THE PICTURE, and not what used to be sold on this page: see picture for comparison! I first bought a double pour shot glass like the item pictured from this exact page 2.3 years ago. I don't know if the item was authentic or the markings were 100% accurate, but as a left-handed person getting into espresso I was very happy with it. The markings did seem to fade a little when it went into the dishwasher a couple of times, and a friend told me it might not be the best for it, so I rinsed or handwashed it & thought nothing of it. Great value and loved the notched handle, which fits perfectly in hand for pouring ++. One day I came home noticed there was a big crack down the side of it. Didn't drop it, aptmate claimed no knowledge. But figured it had served me well for >2yrs so just got on my order history and ordered a new one. Even used the old one for a week with a hairline crack in it and it held up even with espresso heat while I waited. Unfortunately the item that arrived is NOT the same. Slightly different size and shape, and most importantly that notched handle is gone. The thing has an entirely different feel and I don't trust the markings. See pic for comparison. Because I am someone who believes in giving folks a chance to update mistakes I tried to contact the seller before writing this post to give folks a chance to update or remedy. There seemed to be no buttons or obvious ways to do so on this particular page, only to send it back to Amazon for a refund. When I went to the Rhino Coffee Gear website they said they were not the sellers for this page and were not responsible. So posted a Q here that went unanswered. SO, BUYER BEWARE!! Guess I need to do an Amazon return on an $11 item if I want a refund. And, if you want a similar shape a notched handle looks like we're better off getting Rattleware at this point, even though it costs a little more.

This is a must have tool if you own an espresso machine. The coffee beans I use recommend 1.5 to 1.75 oz of espresso for 18 grams of beans (the espresso output equates to about 36-38 g of espresso). Having this shot glass with the measurement lines on the side takes all the guesswork out of how many ounces of espresso you are getting. Build quality is solid and I expect this to last for many, many years. The handle and spot make it very easy to pour versus other shot glasses.

I bought this glass to pull my espresso shots. It is nice because it is wide enough to catch both streams from the portafilter. It also has the pouring spouts so no drips when I pour it into my cup. I was worried about a review that claimed that the markings wore off quickly. Well that is not my experience at all so far. I have been using it almost daily for about 2 months now and I have had no such problems. I do give it a quick hand wash/rinse afgter every use and never put it into the dishwasher.

I bought this as the cup I was using prior no longer fitted, due to a new scale. It's very nice to look at and seems accurate and, as I'd bought a few Rhino products beforehand, thought it would fit in nicely.. Came quickly and safely.

Perfect size. Easy to read. Just what I needed. A touch pricey for what it is.

Cool

Cracked after first use. Can it really withstand the heat?

These shot jugs are excellent. Markings are accurate. They hold 3oz, more than enough to hold a double 3oz shot so no concerns about spilling. The two spouts make pouring a mess free task. Most importantly they're wider and shorter than most espresso shot glasses so will easily fit under the lowest group head. They also look good on general display. I have two already but will probably buy more.
