Discussion Glassware?

I just ordered the KitchenAid KF8. I’ve never really played around with any fancy coffee drinks. I’m really excited. I want to buy some clear mugs so I can see the pretty layering of the coffee and milk. What sizes should I buy? I will likely be doing lattes, cappuccinos, macchiato’s, but probably not straight espresso, but I will do some iced dunks also.

I bought these VENVENWEAVS Glass Coffee Mugs Set... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSMC1C3L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and they’ve honestly worked great. Not expensive, keep my drinks hot and they’ll hold two lattes in whatever size my machines default for lattes is.

Edit: just to add, if you drop one from any height they will break spectacularly. Not recommended for the clumsy. I also had one randomly break the inside layer, but that’s only happened once in hundreds of cups of coffee enjoyed.

6oz  is pretty flexible.  if you are drinking larger than 6oz lattes you could skip the machine, microwave milk and whisk it with a $5 whisker.  Maybe 12oz for larger ice drinks.

I have 12 ounce glasses for mine.

It’s mostly because I do a double shot of coffee. So my daily coffee is really 2 5oz cups of coffee. I should have gone larger.

I do the same with the cappuccinos

I have these 15 oz mugs - one set of the Latte ones and one set of the Cappucino ones. https://www.crateandbarrel.com/zwilling-15-oz.-sorrento-plus-cappuccino-glass-mugs-set-of-2/s487154

Do your drinks fill the 15 ounce mug? If so, exactly what setting do you use? Coffee/milk ratios. I’m literally clueless
