Pull the Perfect Espresso Shot, Every Time

Stop guessing and start measuring. The Coffee Hero 30ml Espresso Measure Glass is the essential barista accessory for anyone serious about their espresso - whether you're a home brewer or a café professional.

Why Measurement Matters

A perfect single espresso shot is 30ml pulled in approximately 30 seconds. That ratio is your foundation. Once you nail it, you can fine-tune to bring out the unique characteristics of each coffee bean - because beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, or Sumatra all behave differently based on altitude, rainfall, and roast profile.

Key Features

• ✅ Dual measurement lines - clearly marked at 15ml (ristretto) and 30ml (single shot)
• ✅ Thick-walled borosilicate-style clear glass - heat resistant and durable
• ✅ Easy to read - precise markings visible even under café lighting
• ✅ Pairs perfectly with a digital shot timer for complete espresso control
• ✅ Compact and lightweight - fits neatly on any espresso machine drip tray

How to Use

Place the measure glass under your portafilter spout, start your timer, and pull your shot. Aim for 30ml in 30 seconds. Observe the colour change from dark blonde to golden - that's your sweet spot. Use the measurement to dial in your grind size and dose for consistently great espresso.

The Barista's Secret Weapon

Professional baristas know that consistency is everything. This simple tool removes the guesswork and gives you repeatable, café-quality results at home. Pair it with our espresso equipment range for a complete home barista setup.
