These days, I always feel a touch pretentious. So I wouldn’t mind the decanter either, I wish it was wide enough to swirl and could be used for wine or perhaps water. I like the design of the glass but not functionality. Hence, my main reason for not backing them but if I tried/felt them in my hand, I have no doubt my mind could be changed. Interesting video. Hope you have a great day too, cheers!
I wonder if that kind of experience could be the same as drinking espresso on either long and narrow cups or in wider and shorter ones. Nespresso did tried to sell this kind of idea with specific cups to taste coffee...In my opinion it maybe something people already do, but in a subconscious way. I am glad to see this kind of review. Thank you always for the great video.
Hi James , first thing I’ve being seeing : they are different shape for what ? ... maybe one glass can by put on another one ? Can you put big one on small one ? Or reverse and put on small one ??? To make ‘oeuvre d’art’ 😂 and store and avoid dust 😋
I'm not trying to claim I'm from the mean streets/wrong side of the tracks (I'm watching coffee vids after all) but I think if any of my friends or family caught me drinking from one of those, a fairly violent and deserved slap would be administered. Unless it was Irn Bru that was in it, which is perfectly acceptable.
And that's a good thing how? Being pretentious is an attitude. Doesn't matter how weird your glassware is, it won't make you become pretentious. That comes from inside. The fact that he's concerned about it more shows he's been brought to the point of worrying about looks and such shallow things, rather than being true to his taste.
Great Video! Just would like to add, that hot coffee doesnt go through fast oxidation since only the top of the liquid will oxidize according to the oxidation rate of only certain components within the liquid. Second when moving your hot coffee back and forth your not really introducing oxygen into the liquid since it to hot to hold dissolved oxygen. To give you a number water at 30 degrees Celsius can only hold about 5ppm of dissolved oxygen while water at 0 Celsius can hold 19 ppm of dissolved oxygen. What many call oxidation is simply the cooling down of the liquids temperature therefore changing the perception of your tongue not the chemical compounds in your coffee. Cheers!
Alright Hoff, well done on the V60 video. But the youtube community is like an addict. Easily satisfied then hungry for more. Now get to work on a Chemex video. Chop chop. Let the relentless peer pressure trolling begin.
I have warmed to your videos as they’re well produced and very helpful. Personally I wouldn’t buy these at $25 per glass. But I do enjoy the information. Thank you.
someone noticed!!jaja this was probably my favorite part of the video! reminded me of TV when i was a kid..... favorite channel, dude making or preparing something thing, PUF it appears made, outside the oven you barely even noticed....yet, its COFFEE and im 36.love it.
I also backed them on Kickstarter and have been playing with my glasses for about 2 weeks now. I like the brightness of my morning coffee in the narrow one and evening red wine in the wider one ;) Both have been through several dishwasher cycles and no issues yet. Happy to support moving ideas like this forward.
James, I avoided watching this review for some time as I didn’t think it would be as informative as your other videos. I did think this product was probably rather pretentious, although I did not think you were pretentious for reviewing it. Having watched the video, I am somewhat surprised to say you have opened my mind to this glassware. I enjoyed your explanation of its function and your differing perceptions of taste for the same coffee between the two glasses. Well done. Cheers
They look pretty, unique and playful to me, but I don't think I would be using it often if I would ever get my hands on 'em. I would fear of breaking them to be honest. 🤣 And I don't want it to end up as just a display.
I have an ikea glass mug, and its great seeing the different colours of coffee when its getting extracted. Good review, but personally wouldn't buy one.
Want to give you some feedback regarding audio levels: the transition from the intro audio to your voice. There is a drastic drop during that transition. Thinking that it is too loud I decrease the volume during the intro, but when you show up the volume is too low. So I increase the volume. I’d like to recommend stabilizing audio levels between the two. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
Decanter is nice but much prefer ceramic. I’ve had some double wall coffee cups and I don’t really like them as I like to feel the temperature of the coffee through the cup to prepare myself for the drink.
The sniffing part might be more of a booze thing, like wine and whiskey tasting. Glass cups for both have wide bottom with narrow top. Might have something to do with how aromatic they are. Not saying that coffee isn't aromatic, but as booze has, well, booze (ethanol), it dissolves much more organic material even at room temperature so a glass with certain sniffing bias would have much more effect on those drinks.
James, after watching this I went back and watched your review of the screens. I bought them when they first came out and had the same issues with waste and too much time to get such a narrow window of particles (400-800 for instance). Recently I started using them again, but instead of trying to get “same size” particles, I just use the screens to get rid of the outliers. For instance I use the 300 & 1600 screens (they released a few larger screens, not sure if you have those or not). I only lose a few grams, but the coffee seems so much more balanced and round. Curious about your thoughts on this.
I like them... Maybr because they look like refined laboratory glassware. And it works so that's exactly a good example of form and function having a balance in the design. But to be honest I wouldn't use them frequently because I would be terrified to broke them... Nice video 👍
I guess you could simulate the taste difference with some wine glasses. If you find a difference between a tall and narrow vs a wide one - then you'll be able to taste the difference with these. I just tried it and coffee tasted exactly the same to me 🤷♂️️
I think the look of them is *extremely* cool, largely because I aspire to live in some cross between a Victorian cabinet of curiosities and a Star Trek set, but $50 is rather a lot and 5oz of coffee is rather wee
Regarding oxidation and oxygen, I wonder if there's a taste difference between pre-boiled water and water simply heated to say 93 or 80°C - different oxygen content affecting the coffee flavour?
I would love to see you check out the AVENSI glasses. If you haven't seen them, they are a very similar idea but it looks to me like a much better execution. They were on kickstarter just recently so I don't think they are available yet.
I'm already routinely drinking my cold-brew out of glass goblets so I don't really have to worry about anyone raising an eyebrow wondering if I'm odd, they know lol
I really like the idea that manufacturers are exploring this space. My initial feeling on them is exactly what you mentioned with the Zalto glassware...a nightmare to use/clean without breaking. I think that given the option I would probably choose one of the other options for "experiential glassware" like those from Wendelboe or Espro for that reason alone.
I know these are for coffee, but I feel like if one of them turned out not to be your cup of tea for drinking coffee out of, then both of them would be beautiful for cocktails!
I had just brewed some coffee per your French Press technique as this video went live, so it was a fun test to try and test alongside you. Using a wide brim 250ml glass from Duralex, I could definitely relate to that sense of 'juiciness' the coffee had, and it'd be fun to see how drinking the same coffee from a narrower style glass changes the experience. That being said, I'd probably only be interested in the carafe, purely for presentation purposes. The glasses are a bit janky to me.
B E A utifull, but I'm not allowed to spend money just for aesthetics rn :( and I'm not sure the glasses will have enough of an impact on my coffee experience, I'm still developing my taste and my brewing needs work.
The one with the larger opening also engages your nose/sense of smell more than the other, too. That alone will drastically change how the coffee tastes. The smaller opening holds your nose out away from it (it touches the tip of your nose, as I went back and watched each again). I have always liked the smell of coffee even more than the taste, so I've always kept a large cup to drink it from and find I don't order coffee out where the cups are smaller diameter. Of course a Brit is going to pick a clip from one of the recent Star Trek movies with Simon Pegg. #TeleportToTheWinchester 😆
James I'm sorry but expresso making as a hobby is pretentious, having as £30 glass that looks like a prop from star trek is not going to make a significant change
Bodum ruined glassware for me. I bought a set once, and it was really cool to see the layers of espresso, milk, and froth in my lattes. However, later tiny imperfections in blown glass started to get dirty, and they were impossible to clean. Even later, the vacuum silicone seal developed a leak, and the trapped water condensate made glass foggy. Finally, the glass itself cracked. On *all* cups... After that experience, I don't trust glassware, and I'm using good ol' wide mouth ceramic cups.
Yes but now i am curious about which Kenyan coffee you brewed on it :p However i have the same feeling about the carafe. Is so sooo nice; usually i prefer to drink from ceramic but i am testing day by day drinking the same coffee from the two different glasses; sometimes i can feel a difference in taste into my mouth (not every time).

Wonder if the Aeropress included accessory funnel would allow brewing into the decanter? I think Mr. Hoffman (I don’t know you so I’ll be formal) didn’t use the included stir paddle once. Maybe you lost your accessories? Lol I didn’t know what that funnel thing was for initially. It’s for brewing skinnier opening.
Don't go by me. I drink out of a thick, heavy coffee mug from The Original Pantry - since 1924 (WE NEVER CLOSE). It stands up well to the AeroPress but requires pre-heating.
The coffee cup affects my whole experience with the pleasure of drinking coffee. I prefer dbl-walled glass. Least amount of toxin exposure, I’m hoping, especially when you heat something up very hot. All that to say, I would probably prefer the wider mouth. But I am having a problem with my dbl-walled glasses and I baby them. I hand wash. Still, they eventually get condensation build up inside, and it looks..icky. Any way to avoid this, or what’s causing it? I am drinking out of Imperial dbl-walled as we speak.
“Actually identical. But not”. Non sequitur anyone? It’s almost like he’s an academic. They misuse language all the time too. And they’re also often incredibly pretentious. It’s a fucking silly glass. Give me a twenty ounce proper pint sleeve and leave it at that.
Does anybody know whether VAT must be paid before delivery into UK? Usually VAT would be added onto final price at check out but this does not seem to be noticeable. Would like to purchase but unaware if I should expect any further costs after ordering. Kind regards
I am searching for videos about how glassware impacts drinking coffee but this is the only one I can find. I know for other drinks like wine and beer special there are special glasses that will make the drink drink more pleasantly. Does it really matter to drink out of a glass or mug and does the thickness of the glass matter? I am not looking to buy these Star Trek-like looking glasses, just nice glasses or mugs for everyday coffee drinking.
The carafe is pretty, but with the cups, especially the one with the wider mouth, I'd be worried about top-heaviness combined with a narrow base greatly increasing your odds of knocking one over. Combined with the fact that they're glass and you've got a recipe for morning anxiety that I don't really need in my life, especially not at the cost of looking pretentious.
Damn, was that Simon Pegg on that Star Trek clip? I have some Star Trek to watch now. What a great actor. I used to drink from big mugs, so I definitely find the wide rim familiar. I also use sugar, cream and milk so obviously I like a big mouthfeel and want to have it spread around to get the full range of tastes. These are very elegant, even if a little funny. Choosing the right beer glass for the right beer is also a thing for the same reasons so why not.
Carafe/decanter looks cool, but the glasses - not so much. Not sure what exactly wrong with them - maybe sharp curve... And this is definitely not for everyday use.
I really like the carafe (maybe not for coffee tho..) but I don't like the glasses at all, too big, too clumsy and there's really only the espresso you want to keep warm (since you're already waiting for your filter coffee to actually cool down).
I am not sure but every video has a different audio level and its a little annoying how some videos are barely audible at 50% sound level while some spank off my speaker.
"If I'm just drinking my coffee I don't really spend much time just sniffing my cup, that's just ... weird." Wine drinkers would like to have a word with you.
3:55 an "instant" coffee as it really should be...
That was so smooth I didn't even notice the first time

While reviewing special glasses for coffee xD I'm still not sure if this is satire or not.

A fellow Zalto afficionado! I like the idea of these glasses but visually they don't do it for me.
'Do you use these in your cafe?' That'd be one pretty far-out cafe, I want to go to go there!
Imagine trusting your average cafe customer with these....
Everyone would be paying refundable deposits at the door.
@@JayFunningham My thoughts exactly, you'd have to give the customer a tutorial on how to hold and drink from the damn thing haha!

Have you had wine from them?! Curious if it would have the same affect on the taste/aroma.
I own a set and it does make a difference with wine! Great for spirits and beer too :)

i think they're shaped like that so you can push them up against each other when you store them
I am here, watching a review of a *coffee tasting glass*, while not even caring about coffee that much. What have you done to me youtube?
I want to know where can I buy these? I love the idea really but I'm just a nerd
got mine direct from their website www.kruveinc.com

"I don't really spend that much time day to day just sniffing my cup - that's kind of a bit weird."
The wine tasters rebel!!
Pretty neat and I’m sure high quality. I’d love it as a gift, but would likely not spend my own $$$ on it.
Would you buy it asa gift?
The cups look like vases...like they should have flowers in them instead of coffee. The decanter...very nice 👍
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Tim Wendelboe cup line
Aww did you use one of your 3 wishes to magic some coffee into the carafe?
They're too spendy and fragile for my liking.

Bodum ruined glassware for me. I bought a set once, and it was really cool to see the layers of espresso, milk, and froth in my lattes. However, later tiny imperfections in blown glass started to get dirty, and they were impossible to clean. Even later, the vacuum silicone seal developed a leak, and the trapped water condensate made glass foggy. Finally, the glass itself cracked. On *all* cups... After that experience, I don't trust glassware, and I'm using good ol' wide mouth ceramic cups.
YAY another Hoffmann vid!
I was about to write how much I thought they looked like they were off the set of the 60s Startrek and then you said it for me.
Yes but now i am curious about which Kenyan coffee you brewed on it :p
However i have the same feeling about the carafe. Is so sooo nice; usually i prefer to drink from ceramic but i am testing day by day drinking the same coffee from the two different glasses; sometimes i can feel a difference in taste into my mouth (not every time). And yes I feel strange too to continuosly sniffing coffee 😂 definitely better to drink and enjoy the moment😂
However i think it's a new market option for people interested into those kind of things, so from this point of view I think is good. More choices!
Beautifully produced review
Wonder if the Aeropress included accessory funnel would allow brewing into the decanter? I think Mr. Hoffman (I don’t know you so I’ll be formal) didn’t use the included stir paddle once. Maybe you lost your accessories? Lol
I didn’t know what that funnel thing was for initially. It’s for brewing skinnier opening.
... I like the carafe… The mugs would be too tipsy for me… Top-heavy… Easily tipped over… I like a traditional flat bottomed coffee mug...🙏...🇺🇸
Don't go by me. I drink out of a thick, heavy coffee mug from The Original Pantry - since 1924 (WE NEVER CLOSE). It stands up well to the AeroPress but requires pre-heating.
The sorcery returns
The coffee cup affects my whole experience with the pleasure of drinking coffee. I prefer dbl-walled glass. Least amount of toxin exposure, I’m hoping, especially when you heat something up very hot. All that to say, I would probably prefer the wider mouth. But I am having a problem with my dbl-walled glasses and I baby them. I hand wash. Still, they eventually get condensation build up inside, and it looks..icky. Any way to avoid this, or what’s causing it? I am drinking out of Imperial dbl-walled as we speak.
I’ve seen our favorite coffee astrophysicist using these and was wondering is there a chance that James would make a review. And here it is.
“Actually identical. But not”. Non sequitur anyone? It’s almost like he’s an academic. They misuse language all the time too. And they’re also often incredibly pretentious. It’s a fucking silly glass. Give me a twenty ounce proper pint sleeve and leave it at that.

The decanter might be nice if you're doing aeropress for a group. I think the cups are ugly, but that's subjective.
Nothing wrong about being pretentious if its about coffee. I bought a knock off and I feel elegant LOL . Jokes apart, they really work.
The carafe is pretty, but with the cups, especially the one with the wider mouth, I'd be worried about top-heaviness combined with a narrow base greatly increasing your odds of knocking one over. Combined with the fact that they're glass and you've got a recipe for morning anxiety that I don't really need in my life, especially not at the cost of looking pretentious.
Wtf that edit was too smooth, what is this witchcraft.
Omg that was by far the smoothest cut I’ve ever seen. Huge props!
...I don’t like anything that appears tipsy/narrow at the bottom… Nothing with a pedestal… Square bottomed glass or mug suits me🍺
Pretentious looking, to say nothing about the 8 minute film describing them. ;-) They are pretty cool looking.
Damn, was that Simon Pegg on that Star Trek clip? I have some Star Trek to watch now. What a great actor.
I used to drink from big mugs, so I definitely find the wide rim familiar. I also use sugar, cream and milk so obviously I like a big mouthfeel and want to have it spread around to get the full range of tastes. These are very elegant, even if a little funny. Choosing the right beer glass for the right beer is also a thing for the same reasons so why not.
3:15 so it's just me psychotically sniffing my coffee in the corner of a coffee shop then
Carafe/decanter looks cool, but the glasses - not so much. Not sure what exactly wrong with them - maybe sharp curve... And this is definitely not for everyday use.
They're a bit bulky looking to me. I'm satisfied with my hario carafe and lino mugs.
I really like the carafe (maybe not for coffee tho..) but I don't like the glasses at all, too big, too clumsy and there's really only the espresso you want to keep warm (since you're already waiting for your filter coffee to actually cool down).
Backed this project, but dont have the product yet. Thanks for the review.
Have you swirled the Kruve Propel?...others have enjoyed the taste experience
These look so cool. But I got Hario glasses instead, because I am addicted to their trademark wavy beehive aesthetic.
I like the wider mouth one better simply because i think it'll feel better drinking from a wider mouth than a narrow mouth.
And then here I am having my pour over coffee from the free cup from Nescafe Gold during my instant coffee days. 😅
I am not sure but every video has a different audio level and its a little annoying how some videos are barely audible at 50% sound level while some spank off my speaker.
I would have liked a comparison with other glassware. The video doesn't show whether they are better than other mugs.
...I just drink from my Norlan whiskey glasses.
"If I'm just drinking my coffee I don't really spend much time just sniffing my cup, that's just ... weird."
Wine drinkers would like to have a word with you.
looks awesome
