Irish coffee glasses – warmth, style and tradition in one

Irish coffee glasses are specially designed to serve the beloved combination of hot coffee, whiskey, sugar and cream. These glasses aren’t just about appearance—they’re built to handle heat, enhance aroma and present your drink with flair. At Cookinglife, our selection of irish coffee glasses includes elegant, heat-resistant designs with comfortable handles and footed bases. Whether you're serving this classic cocktail at a festive dinner or enjoying a cosy nightcap, the right glass makes all the difference. Add a touch of tradition and refinement to your glassware with irish coffee glasses that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Heat resistance and shape matter

Irish coffee glasses are typically made from tempered or borosilicate glass, which can withstand high temperatures without cracking. The footed base adds visual appeal and prevents heat transfer to the surface, while the handle protects your hand from the hot liquid. Their tall, narrow design helps maintain the temperature and supports the layered presentation, allowing the cream to float delicately on top. The transparency of the glass showcases the drink’s rich colour and inviting texture. With these features combined, irish coffee glasses offer the perfect balance of safety, style and comfort.

Not just for Irish coffee

While originally designed for the Irish classic, these glasses are ideal for a wide range of hot drinks and cocktails. Use them to serve mulled wine, hot chocolate with a twist, spiced cider, or specialty teas. Their elegant look also makes them suitable for desserts like affogato or layered mousse. Whether you’re entertaining guests or treating yourself to something indulgent, irish coffee glasses provide a refined vessel for creative servings. Their multifunctionality makes them a smart and stylish addition to any drinkware collection.

Complete your coffee service with the right companions

Irish coffee glasses pair beautifully with the rest of your coffee service. Start the day with a coffee cup or a coffee glass, then move to an espresso cup for that midday shot. Enjoy your milk drinks in cappuccino cups, Double walled coffee glasses or latte glasses. For larger servings or comfort, turn to coffee mugs & cups. Create balance with a cup and saucer, and for a cohesive collection, choose a coordinated coffee set. Each piece enhances the next, creating a complete coffee experience.

Elevate your hosting moments

Serving Irish coffee in the proper glass shows care, tradition and attention to detail. It adds ceremony to the moment—especially around the holidays or during intimate gatherings. The footed silhouette and curved bowl create a timeless presentation, while the functional design ensures ease of use. Whether you’re finishing a festive dinner or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, these glasses make the moment feel more intentional. They also make a great gift for coffee lovers or cocktail enthusiasts who enjoy the finer things.
