The Budan Double Spout Shot Glass for Espresso is a measuring vessel built specifically for espresso extraction, made from heat-resistant glass that safely handles the near-boiling temperatures espresso is pulled at without cracking or degrading over repeated daily use. A sturdy base keeps the glass stable and resistant to tipping during extraction, an important detail given how much force and vibration a semi-automatic machine can transmit through the portafilter and drip tray area.
The defining feature here is the dual spout design, allowing simultaneous pouring of two shots at once directly from a double portafilter spout, rather than needing two separate glasses or pouring one shot at a time and losing temperature consistency between them. This matters for anyone regularly pulling doubles for two drinks at once, whether that's two straight espressos or two shots destined for separate milk-based drinks, since both land in clearly measured, separate chambers simultaneously rather than needing to be split afterward.
Clear measurement markings on the glass provide accurate, consistent dosing indicators, letting you track exact shot volume in real time as it extracts, useful feedback for dialling in a specific brew ratio or simply confirming your machine is pulling a consistent volume shot after shot rather than drifting over time.
Budan is a made-for-India coffee equipment brand inspired by the legacy of Baba Budan, who introduced coffee to India, extending its focus on functional, accessible barista tools to precise measurement accessories like this one, useful for anyone serious about dialling in consistent espresso at home.
Pick up the Budan Double Spout Shot Glass at Something's Brewing to measure and monitor your espresso extraction with genuine precision, and pair it with a Budan tamper and WDT tool for a complete, technique-focused espresso workflow. Something's Brewing also stocks single-spout shot glasses for anyone who typically pulls one shot at a time rather than needing simultaneous double-shot measurement. Something's Brewing also stocks Budan's broader barista tools range, worth exploring together if you're building a complete, technique-focused espresso measurement and prep station. A dual-spout design like this also reduces the temperature drop that can happen when pulling two shots sequentially into separate glasses, since both land simultaneously rather than one cooling while you wait for the second. Something's Brewing's team can advise on which shot glass size and spout configuration best matches your specific machine and portafilter setup if you're unsure before ordering.
