Like many residents of this city an occasional stop at the “Starbucks Public Restroom Service” happens, but as I was waiting on line I found a set of Bodum 3oz Insulated Shot glasses with ounce increment markings for sale ($10.95).
As far as I can tell these do not exist on the internet and I think they are an older version of the Bodum Assam 2oz shot glass. The glass I’d been searching for was from a specialty coffee distributor called Rattleware who make a 3oz mini shot pitcher, but these insulated Bodums (with a silicone pressure regulation seal at the bottom, no less) appear perfect for pulling up to 3oz shots and are certainly nicer to drink espresso out of.
Bodum Assam 2oz: the version I bought has parallel straight glass walls and two 1oz interval markings, allowing up to 3oz total volume

OK, now I know what I should have gotten you guys from Paris!
Hi!
I ran across this blog entry while doing the same kind of Web search for the straight-walled Bodum shot glasses. A few weeks ago, I accidentally broke the one I’ve been using for pulling shots. Until that happened, I didn’t realize how fond I had become of their insulating property. They make it so much easier to handle the shots of espresso at 200º. You may be happy to know I’ve just found a source for those same, straight-walled “thermo-glass” (aka “Bodum”) espresso shot glasses: (links to a search on a popular online auction site)
Good Luck!
