Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Cooler/Beer Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In my never-ending need to own fancy things, I foolishly bought these glasses when they were first released, for even more than they cost now (although they are still expensive). Folks, please stick with plastic insulated glasses! I know that plastic is tacky, but some things are just more trouble than they are worth. You WILL BREAK these glasses, no matter how hard you try not to, so maybe its a good deal that Amazon is presently offering a deal on them.
In short: these glasses are easier to break than my Riedel Bordeaux glasses (in other words, FRAGILE); the glasses allow water to seep into the small hole on the bottom during hand washing, which is ugly (the tiny hole on the bottom of the glass prevents the glass from cracking due to rapid temperature changes); and dropping ice into the glasses or using too hot or cold a beverage will crack them. The only upside is they look nice for awhile (until water seeps in, or a hair line crack appears).
My first set was crushed in shipment. Amazon had not wrapped it in bubble wrap or anything else, and the Bodum box is severely lacking in built-in protection. Amazon DID ship new ones right away.
Save yourself the trouble of worrying about and dealing with these glasses! Pretty enough for awhile, you will find yourself so worried about ruining these expensive glasses that you will sit them on your shelves and simply stare at them. I really am sorry to say this... I don't give many negative reviews, and I generally like Bodum products.

The Bodum double wall Canteen Cooler glasses are 13 ounces in size and 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, and cafe and 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.

Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Espresso Mugs, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My complaint about my two-ounce Bodum espresso cups was that they didn't have a handle. No such problem here. These cups are a perfect size for a double-shot of espresso. They are a perfect compliment to our Super Automatic Espresso maker. The only downside to Bodum cups like this is that they look much bigger than a regular double-espresso cup because they are dual-walled. But, your espresso will stay hot and they look VERY nice.
They are quite delicate, but have worked well in the dishwasher and have held up well overall. I broke one after dropping it, but can't blame that on the product. I'm certain I will buy a replacement.

Bring a unique and trend-forward look to the table with this set of two glass espresso shot mugs. Handcrafted of borosilicate glass--the same material used to make scientific lab equipment--the pair of mugs provides exceptionally durable, temperature-safe use that holds both hot and cold drinks at their optimal temperature longer. The walls of each vessel sport two layers of clear glass, creating a dramatic optical illusion of liquid suspended within. The two-layer design also resists heat and prevents condensation, leaving the mugs comfortable to hold and safe for placement on any tabletop or counter. Even more, the handsome mugs feature a smooth, slightly flared design with a generously sized handle--perfect for sipping espresso shots immediately after you pull them. Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award, the mugs offer cloud-resistant, dishwasher- and microwave-safe use. Each espresso mug has a 4.7-ounce capacity. A one-year limited warranty covers the set.

Editor's Note: Because the mugs are mouth blown, each one may have slight variations in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the mugs to avoid fracturing the inner layer. Do not use metal spoons or place the mugs into a crowded dishwasher.

Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 10-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke
with someone else roughly loading it with a couple
of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just
love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and
didn't really know how I could do without so
I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I'd
read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile
these are and how precious to me etc...
Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and
sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside
while still holding up to having boiling water poured in
to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident
around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters
on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.
So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.
The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.
