Arcoroc Stack Up

Two sizes usually cover everything. A 26 or 32 cl tumbler for water, soft drinks, and juice, and a 40 or 47 cl highball glass for beer, tonic, and cola with ice. The 21 cl size is small enough for a glass of water with coffee or a child's portion. When stacking, pay attention to height: seven 32 cl glasses stand taller than you think, so measure your shelf before ordering. If you want to see more shapes side by side, all stackable glasses from every brand are gathered together on one page, from tea glasses to beer glasses.

First fill a highball glass completely with ice, and only then pour, because half-filled ice melts faster and dilutes your drink. For a gin & tonic 40 cl is the most comfortable size: enough ice, enough tonic, and still a centimeter of space at the top. A cuba libre is built in the same glass, with the lime squeezed in before adding the cola. Only stack glasses after washing them once they are dry.

Two glasses stuck together come apart if you stand the lower one in lukewarm water and pour a splash of cold water into the upper one. Prevention is easier: only stack dry glasses, and no more than six or seven high. In the dishwasher, place them separately in the rack and never inside one another, or the inside won't rinse clean. Tempered glass takes that day in, day out without trouble.

The complete range of Arcoroc is gathered in one place, including series that are not stackable but do have the same tempered quality. Looking for individual sizes? You’ll find the tall models among the highball glasses and the low ones among the water glasses. If you work with many glasses at once and need to move them from one room to another, then glass crates are safer and more convenient than a stack on the shelf.
