Why Choose the MHW DW Glass A-Shaped 130ml: Transparent Black?
This glass is designed to enhance vibrant coffees, making it a smart pick for anyone focused on clarity, sweetness, and aroma nuance. The black-tinted body adds visual appeal while still showcasing the colour of your brew.
How to Use
Pre-warm the cup if desired, then pour your brew. The A-shaped cup works best with light roasts or high-acidity origins, served as a filter or pour-over. Its rim focuses your perception of sweetness and clarity, offering contrast to heavier cups in a tasting set.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Hand-wash gently using warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers. Occasional glassware variations—like small air bubbles or faint lines—are natural outcomes of the glass-forming process.
