For coffee tasting / judging purposes, espressos usually are served in a glass espresso cup.

Which have handles. If you drink an espresso from a glass cup like the one they were using you are going to burn your fingers no mater how you pick it. You buy a $20k espresso machine and then serve it in a regular glass?

Best way to drink coffee in my humble opinion. Glass imparts no taste or odors, and the double-wall design is a fantastic insulator.

No you won't burn your fingers.
They usually have double walls.

Although you're correct - they normally have a handle.
The handleless/single wall ones are just hipster cargo-cult idiocy.

Hmm. Dunno what advice to give, it's a difficult situation. Sumatran? Still really missing out.

Instead I'll give a coffee anecdote: I was in Hong Kong for work and got into a really in depth conversation about coffee with this guy. He was totally not into coffee and hated it, but he asked me what kind would be good to have, probably for "face" purposes (tbf I don't understand the orient and would do bad there, even though it's cool imo). I suggested Sumatran, and he wasn't familiar with the English term, so I explained it was Indonesian, an island in Indonesia.

Well he was NOT PLEASED by that concept and wanted some alternative so we talked about Kenyan for a minute. He said he'd get some and even got the name of it in Cantonese written down by the clerk so he could pick it up later, but if course it was all a charade.

Later that night I put on the news for shits and it turned out there were massive protests in Indonesia by workers for Chinese owned garment businesses. They wanted an insane, unreasonable raise from like 65¢ an hour to more than $1!

That's my coffee story, ps, Pacific Coffee beats the loving poo poo out of Starbucks burned poo poo beans

I liked Sumatran. I'm probably talking out of my arse, but it... almost had a lavender-like aroma.
Which i thought was very bizarre at first, then found nice.

I brought a few nice medium roasts from Bali late last year.
And one really lovely one that i ended up binning. Yes, it was that bad.

ps: Starbucks occasionally sells "reserve" whatev something something label roasts. Those are actually pretty nice (the regular ones are burnt to a crisp).

Of course not, but if you're selling a 20k espresso machine and want potential buyers to see how much crema it puts on a shot, you might use a glass for that video.

These are shot glasses. It's pretty typical in american coffee shops to pull shots of espresso into these for a couple of reasons. the glass doesn't affect the espresso at all and you can keep it hot so you don't cool your shot off. Also most american's don't drink it straight, and if they do it's a whole bunch so you pour both of those shot glasses into some other cup.

I worked at a lovely coffee shop in a bookstore and basically nobody drinks regular coffee anymore, or even wants a drink that tastes like coffee.

But Sumatran tastes like that because of their unique soil composition and also they tend to adulterate it with ground up tigers
