The Melodia 270ml goblet in two lines
A 270ml goblet with diamond cut on bowl and stem, in packs of six. Sixty millilitres more than the small version of the same line, and it is a difference that changes which drinks it suits.
Who it is for
For anyone serving real cobblers, which is to say drinks over crushed ice. That is where the wider size finds its reason: crushed ice takes volume, and in a 210ml goblet filled with ice there is little room left for the liquid. Two hundred and seventy millilitres give the margin for a mound of crushed ice and for the fruit garnish the Cobbler brings with it.
Crushed ice and the goblet
The Cobbler was born as a drink over crushed ice, and that ice is not a detail of service but part of the recipe: it chills in an instant and gives up water fast, and the measures take it into account. A wide goblet lets you fill it until the dome forms above the rim, which is the correct presentation, and leaves room for the fruit and the mint. In a narrow goblet the same quantity of crushed ice does not fit, and the drink goes out with less ice than it should: the result is a cocktail first too strong and then watery.

Take the Melodia 270ml if
You serve drinks over crushed ice and you want room for the ice and the garnish. For classics served up, with no ice, a size between 160 and 210ml holds them cold for longer.
Two hundred and ten or two hundred and seventy
The practical difference is all in the ice. Two hundred and ten millilitres are right for a drink served without ice or with very little; two hundred and seventy are what you need when crushed ice is part of the recipe and the garnish is built. Anyone with both on the list usually keeps the large size and fills it differently, because a wide bowl with a little liquid draws less attention than a small bowl brimming over.
The Cobbler, the drink the name comes from
It is worth knowing what it is, because it explains the shape. The Cobbler is a nineteenth century drink of wine or spirit, sugar and seasonal fruit, served over a mound of crushed ice and drunk through a straw. It is the first popular cocktail in American history, and it is also the drink this glass shape exists for. A 270ml goblet full of crushed ice with fruit on top is exactly what it was drawn for.
Care
Dishwasher with the rack spaced out. Diamond cut holds residue, and on drinks with muddled fruit or syrups it pays to rinse before the cycle. The worked stem wants the same attention, because that is where whatever runs down from the bowl ends up.
