Bodum Presso 10-Ounce Double-Wall Glass with Silicone Grip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned other Bodum double-walled glasses and they are pretty great. They lasted perfectly for years if they didn't wind up exploding in an accidental drop (they are fragile). These are another story. They have a "breathable" disc on the bottom. The idea is the gas inside can contract/expand to withstand drastic temperature changes. Unfortunately, this causes steam to get inside the double-walls leaving the glass stained and permanently cloudy and dirty looking. So don't wash these in the dish washer to avoid the cloudiness.

A sleek and sophisticated addition to any drinkware collection, this pair of 10-ounce glasses features durable borosilicate-glass construction to ensure versatility, aesthetic beauty, and lightweight, everyday use. Two layers of mouth-blown insulated glass prevent the vessels from forming condensation, which means no need for a coaster when placed on a tabletop, while the insulating quality of the unique double-wall design allows for a comfortable hold and keeps beverages at an enjoyable sipping temperature for a longer period of time--anything from hot chocolate, coffee, and steaming tea to cold drinks like refreshing lemonade, fizzy soda pop, or ice water. Furthermore, the two layers of clear glass create the illusion of liquid suspended inside, making each glass a noteworthy conversation piece. Another thoughtful detail includes the removable, silicone band that wraps around the middle of each glass to provide a secure, nonslip grip. Available in a variety of fresh silicone-band colors imprinted with the Bodum logo, each microwave- and dishwasher-safe glass measures approximately 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Bodum Pavina Double-Wall Thermo Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these after seeing them on the Bodum.com website. I admit the cool factor lured me in.
The cups maintain the temperature of a cappuccino for as long as it takes me to get to the bottom of the cup. Additionally it is nice not to need coasters (especially if you have men or children in the home).
The 9 oz cup is less than 4 inches tall, making it fit perfectly under the fill spout of my super-automatic Saeco espresso machine (which I also love).
My husband and I have had 4 of these cups for more than 6 months and not one of them has broken. I mention this because the 9 oz cups seem to be much more sturdy than the 21 oz Pavina ice tea glasses. We broke one of the 21 oz cups with the first ice cube that went into the cup. We broke 2 others in the first two weeks.
Bottom line, I cannot recommend the 21 oz Pavina. However, the 9 oz Pavina cups are very tough, having survived 6 months of daily use with less than dainty owners. I think you will be very pleased with your purchase of the 9 oz Pavina cups.
UPDATE: JULY 18, 2006
All 4 of the 9 ounce Pavina mugs are still intact even with frequent use. I continue to recommend this product.

The Bodum 8.5 ounce Pavina double wall glass can be used for cold or warm beverages.Its unique design is appealing to the eye when filled with your favorite beverage.With its double layer of borosilicate glass it appears as though the liquid is 'floating' within the glass.They will not sweat when filled with a cold beverage, so you will not have to use a coaster.The double wall creates a thermal effect, helping to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for longer periods of time.These mouth blown glasses are an exciting product for any home, restaurant, or cafe and they are a definite conversation piece.Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass traditionally used to make scientific lab glass.Stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass, borosilicate can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware.Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in everyday glassware.The boron oxide acts as the glue holding the silicate together.Due to small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger, lighter glass.Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong due to the bonding capability boron oxide.Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching.Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is resistant to temperature swings,In addition to being dishwasher safe borosilicate will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 1,000 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it.
