{"product_id":"kruve-eq-glass-set","title":"KRUVE EQ Glass Set (EXCITE \u0026 INSPIRE)","description":"\u003cp\u003eKRUVE EQ takes the audio equalizer idea and applies it to glassware: two different glass shapes, each engineered to shift how a given coffee reads on the palate, so you're tuning the sensory experience rather than just choosing a nice-looking cup. Sold as a set — one EXCITE, one INSPIRE — each glass insulated, hand-blown borosilicate, and holding 5oz (150ml).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe two shapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEXCITE\u003c\/strong\u003e — bulbous shape with a large liquid surface area.

Hand washing will extend the seal's life. Also worth knowing: they're genuinely delicate — more like fine stemware than a everyday mug, so handle with the same care you'd give a wine glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee drinkers who want to actually taste the effect of glass shape on a cup, not just admire it — this is a genuinely different way to explore how a light, fruity coffee and a dark, chocolatey one read differently depending on the vessel.
