The property that matters in an Indian kitchen is that glass does not stain: turmeric permanently colours plastic containers and leaves glass untouched, which is why a set like this outlives several plastic ones.
Full details →Who the AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother is for
Buy it if: Anyone learning espresso on 230 V mains who will buy a separate burr grinder.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting an all-in-one -- there is no grinder, and pre-ground coffee will disappoint.
Who the Glasslock 18-Piece Tempered Glass Food Container Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone tired of turmeric-stained plastic and willing to handle the extra weight.
Avoid it if: Anyone carrying lunch daily -- 6.8 kg for the set, and glass in a bag is a risk.
