10 Best Glass Coffee Cups 2022

An exclusive to John Lewis, these classy americano glasses are designed with the coffee connoisseur in mind and are quite possibly the sleekest and sexiest a standard mug design could ever get.

Perfect for everyday use, it’s a great gift for those who want to enjoy the visual beauty of their coffee blend as well as savour the taste, with crystal-clear glassware that displays the rich body of your java for all to see.

But this set of two mugs isn’t just a pair of pretty faces, as a thicker, more durable glass ensures it retains high temperatures too and dishwasher compatibility means that cleaning these cups is essentially care-free.

Although some might find the oddly angled handle a little awkward, we merely find it adds to the overall attractiveness in what is genuinely an almost faultless pair of coffee glasses.

Whittards of Chelsea are renowned across the UK for their superior selections of premium tea and high-quality coffees, but their fantastic selection of tablewares remains somewhat overlooked.

It’s time for that to change.

For extremely reasonable prices, Whittards offer plenty of decorative dining utensils, from fine bone china tea sets to imperious coffee cups and you’d be a fool not to at least have a gander at some of their glassware!

Made with the same love and attention they give to their charming gift boxes, this Nova Double-Walled Coffee Mug is simple and stylish, while still flexing unbelievable efficiency.

Crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, it utilises an air-pocket insulation system which keeps drinks insulated and mugs cool to the touch.

It’s the perfect solution to end both cold coffee complaints and burnt, blistered fingertips!

In our opinion, these personalised espresso cups and saucer sets from Cove Calligraphy are some of the most beautiful on the market, combining stylish, finessed engravings with stunningly transparent glassware.

Not only are these a supremely elegant little cup, but you also have the chance to make them deeply personal too, with Cove allowing up to 65 characters to get a heartfelt message scribed across the cup and saucer.

Unfortunately, the 60 ml capacity of this sweet saucer set ensures it’s only really suitable for the shot pulling, crema cravers in your life, but for the espresso enthusiasts, it really is the perfect gift.

A robust and smooth rim ensures comfortable handling and drinking every time, while dishwasher compatibility means easy cleaning without the threat of wear and tear to your brew-tiful inscription.

So what are you waiting for? Let the world know just how much your coffee means to you!

Not every glass coffee mug needs to have a plain, unimaginative look and there’s plenty of options which showcase some more stunning designs and artwork while remaining true to a glass material.

This large capacity mug from NB Handicraft is just one such marvel, boasting an intricate and intelligent floral peony pattern which is hand-painted into a convex pattern to ensure longevity!

The sheer craftsmanship and effort that goes into making just one of these mugs is remarkable and means each piece is completely unique, making these mugs an ideal gift for that special someone.

The mug is sun and water resistant, but the artist recommends handwashing over using the dishwasher to ensure a long-lasting glass.

Providing you with two classy glassy mugs in one package, these fine coffee gauntlets from Barista & Co are made of high-quality borosilicate glass, meaning they are protected from thermal shock and temperature changes.

An elegant and refined combo of stainless steel handles and glass body, the handles can be easily removed to make cleaning a doddle and ensure dishwasher compatibility, while also keeping your hand cool during drinking.

A great gift for a java loving pair, this fashionable duo will never go out of style!

Another personalised piece of coffee glassware, this custom engraved large glass mug offers both single-sided and double-sided engravings to get yourself a seriously self-adorned drinking vessel.

But it’s not all about engraving and this glass’s delicate curves also provide a pleasant, appealing look, while a sturdy footed base adds stability and strength. It’s crystal clear glass construction also allows you expertly showcase your coffees and cocoas.

What’s truly brilliant about this glass though is that you can choose from 14 different fonts to have your initials or message engraved in, and you can actually request a design or graphic of your very own.

Designers will then send you a sample of your requested image for you to prove, making it truly the most customisable and personal coffee product out there!

Suitable for both hot and cold coffee drinks, the Kinto Kronos range of glasses features an unusual design in which the classic handle is replaced by a fashionable, raised inner rim to support fingers and offer an easy grip.

This gives it a far more interesting glass aesthetic compared to standard glasses, and it could well become the coffee cup of the future!

Yet another glass to boast double-walled construction, it gives drinks the fun optical illusion they are floating in mid-air as well as thermal insulation to keep coffee comfortably warm.

Made from heat-resistant glass and microwave and dishwasher safe, it’s as efficient as it is elegant!

Not everyone holds themselves to just one coffee order and so if you’re someone who likes to jump from espresso to macchiato on a daily basis, you may want to consider getting yourself a more expansive set of glassware.

This helpful collection from Bodum makes sure every one of your coffee craving guests is catered for, with two 350 ml standard glasses and two 80 ml espresso shot glasses included.

Made from mouth-blown borosilicate glass, these premium quality cups are double-walled for added insulation and a silicone valve at the base allows for changes in pressure, meaning rapidly changing temperatures won’t damage or affect the glass.

Dishwasher and microwave safe, it’s the most complete glassware set available.

Made with ultra-light borosilicate glass, these glasses from Vicloon provide a highly unique layer of insulation and utilise a double-wall construction to prevent condensation forming around the mug.

Ultimately, that means no more burnt fingers, and no more table-staining water rings, two of the most common issues faced by all coffee drinkers.

The cups themselves are of premium quality too, with food-grade glass that’s highly durable, non-toxic and BPA free, a quality many glassware companies worryingly can’t promise.

In terms of heat-resistance they’re also one of the best available, so if you’re someone who likes your coffee at a lip-tingling temperature, have no fear, as this coffee cup can retain heats of up to 150℃, without transferring any of it to the outside of the mug!

Although unfortunately not dishwasher friendly, it certainly serves its purpose and then some when it comes to keeping coffee just how you like it!

Boasting a hydrophobic silicone membrane to equalize pressure between the glass walls, the glass can ‘breathe’ with the pressure created by cold or hot drinks, meaning no unwanted condensation forms on the glass surface or rim.

Providing two 250 ml glasses, Glastal is yet another coffee mug company to utilise borosilicate glass, meaning it will not be phased by even the highest of temperatures and also has no risk of shattering when going from high heat to freezing in quick succession.

Due to its construction, they’re unfortunately a little more delicate than others on the list and so it’s recommended you hand wash the glasses to ensure they remain in a stable condition.

However, in terms of efficiency, it remains one of the best.
