Double-Wall is AMAZING November 4, 2008 The double-wall glasses do their jobs splendidly. Even though the espresso in the glass is scolding hot, the outside is barely even warm. Also, easy to clean.
Bodum Pavina is the perfect thermo glass November 3, 2008 I love the Bodum Pavina glasses. We have a set of smaller sized Pavina, so this is just expanding on a perfect collection. I like looking at the beverage. I like that my coffee stays hot and other beverages stay cold. I like that condensation doesn't drip onto the table. Elegant, simple, perfectly pleasing to eye and hand. Thanks Bodum.Bodum Pavina 12-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Glasses (Cooler/Beer), Set of 2
Unstable and fragile October 30, 2008 The glasses are too tall and the base is too narrow. They will tip over at the slightest excuse.
In addition, they are not strong at all. They are supposed to be made of borosilicate glass, the same stuff used in laboratory beakers, which is both chemically resistant and extremely strong. I actually doubt they're made of that; if they were, you'd almost be able to throw them to the floor and they'd just bounce. Instead, the first thing that happened with my set was I tipped one over on the countertop, and it broke. Even an ordinary glass probably wouldn't have broken from just tipping over.
A shot of espresso, lungo, please! October 29, 2008 These are great espresso glasses. They are double walled so no heat comes through to the outside. I also like a clear glass to show off the crema. Two ounces is a perfect size to accommodate 1 ounce single shots or for pulling the shot a bit long. You won't be disappointed with these glasses.
Really nice glasses... October 29, 2008 These are really nice glasses; I've had them over a week and I still enjoy looking at the fluid apparently suspended in mid-air in the glass.
One caveat is that the glasses do feel fragile; handle them with care, or you'll likely break them. Good thing the package came with two and I only need one. ;-)
