Just right
Use this on my breville when making lattes. It’s perfect to catch a double shot and pour.

Simple, inexpensive, does the job, and looks good too
I usually split a shot once or twice a week for a couple of half caff. lattes. This shot cup makes it easy to split shots without making a big mess.The shot cup opening is wide enough so you can position it without spilling any drips outside. The difficulty with a shot cup like this (at least for my setup) is that the portafilter is pretty far away from the drip tray. It's great for fitting mugs under the group, but not so great when you have a small shot glass you're trying to use. Regular shot glasses can be a mess, but this one is wide enough to where I can generally line it up well enough so that nothing spills. If I was really concerned, though, I could use an upside down cup/shot glass to bring this one closer to the group. It hasn't been an issue for me, so I haven't found the need to add the extra step.The measuring cup is easy to clean and it looks nice on my counter. I'll probably hand wash it because it takes 10 seconds to clean with some soap and your finger. If you have the unfinished cup or aren't worried about the color flaking off, it would probably do fine in the dishwasher.Some of the cheaper cups/milk pitchers I've tried have really sharp edges, but I was happy to find out that the walls of this shot glass are thin, but not sharp by any means. The handle is comfortable to use and the spout is sharp enough to where you can split shots pretty precisely.The only downside I can see is the volumetric lines. I use a scale, so it's not an issue for me, but the lines are slanted and refer back to a point on the leaf design. For a ballpark estimate, that's fine. But you won't get a precise volumetric measurement if you're using these. If that's something you're concerned about you might want to look elsewhere. For me, I'd actually prefer a clean inside without any design/measurements or even a few minimalistic volume dots. Functionally, though, the espresso shot cup works perfectly fine for my usage.

Great Looking Espresso Cup
This stainless steel espresso measuring cup by Ikape is solid. I have other cups similar to this one. But the Ikape cup feels like it is made from thicker material. I also like how it is shaped more like a pitcher, making it easier to pour the espresso shot. The green color is bright and pleasant. It is a nice change from my usual black, silver, and wood for my other espresso tools.The capacity of this cup is 60 ml or two shots of espresso. As you can see, with my machine, two shots fill this cup to the very top, but none of the espresso overflowed. Additionally, while being very careful, I was able to take the measuring cup and pour all of its contents into my serving cup with no spills or burns.This espresso measuring cup by Ikape is an excellent addition to my espresso station.

Great little pour spout
I use this little cup all the time. It is exactly right for the job - accurate measurement and above all, very easy and clean pours. I have had a few pouring utensils that spill or slop and you don't notice how irritating that is until you have to use the utensil every day. This one replaced my last spiller and I couldn't be happier. Fill it up exactly to the little mark, easily pour it out, end of story. I got the stainless one and it looks quite nice. Could do without the word "espresso" on there as it's unnecessary but it doesn't really stand out against the silver, so it's not much of an issue.

TINY
I use a double shot of espresso in my lattes which is 2oz. According to the description "It holds up to 3 ounces of liquid" so I figured No problem. The description is NOT true!! This cup is TINY, like miniature. I put in 2 oz and it filled it to the tippy top and if I moved the cup slightly, it spilled over. The cup is nice and cute, stainless and easy to wash, but the size is incorrect. If you only need 1-1.5 oz you'll be ok, but nothing over that
