Glasses, cups and mugs

Buying guide

Choose a glass by what it is for: tall ones for water and juice, stemmed ones for wine, and double-walled ones keep coffee hot for longer without burning your hand. A cup and saucer is for tea and espresso, a mug is a big cup for coffee. A set brings together four or six matching glasses and is handy for guests. Thick glass breaks less easily, while thin glass looks more elegant.
