A glass cup that does not warp/distort what's inside of it.

Is there a glass cup available somewhere that does not magnify or alter the image of the liquid inside of it? Or is that only possible with plastic? Is getting a square cup the only solution to prevent the lens effect?

I also noticed potential distortion with the color compared to having the liquid in a disposable plastic cup, could that be solved as well somehow? Would I require really thin glass for that to work? Is the warp and the distortion effect happening because the glass cup is made out of relatively thick glass? I noticed that one of my local store has ones that are pretty thin.

I believe that test tubes are usually really thin for visual accuracy.

depends on what exactly purpose you need this for

Could you give me a few possibilities? If you briefly throw out a few ideas I will probably pick the right one. I can say that the liquid is not hazardous or overly hot.

I just need a glass cup that makes a drink inside of it look the way it looks inside of a disposable plastic cup. All of the glass cups that I tried so far either warp or magnify/somewhat hide the color to an annoying degree.

I have been thinking of getting a completely square container so that the warping effect does not happen because of it being a circle.

The distortion comes about because glass has to be made much thicker than plastic in order to not break. Try a good quality wine glass, those are usually made of much thinner glass than other types of glasses.
