We bought these for cocktails (many coupes are for champagne and are just too large). These are a perfect size for the 90ml-100ml cocktails usual for a coupe, and comfortable to hold either on the stem only (me) or cupped on the bowl (my partner). The glass is surprisingly light, but the etching is deep enough to be felt with the fingertips when in use, and after 3 or 4 cycles in the dishwasher sparkle as-new.
