 Use them everyday for coffee. February 2, 2008

I've had the Pavana 12 oz for about a year. One was broken in the box when it arrived, which seems to happen a lot judging by comments. Amazon of course sent another box right away. I have used them for about a year now, with no problem. I don't use ice, or put them in dish washer. I use a plastic pad to wash. They are now my favorite way to drink coffee and beer.
 Fragile beyond belief February 1, 2008

I bought two of these glasses. The first morning I owned them I had a latte in one and it was fantastic. The drink remained hot for quite awhile while I read the morning news paper. That afternoon, I GENTLY added a few ice cubes to an empty glass and then attempted to fill it with cold water from the tap. The glass immediately shattered in my hand.
Beautiful, elegant, helpful for shot-tweaking, a bit fragile January 28, 2008

I am really delighted by these glasses, which replace my traditional porcelain espresso cups. Now I can see the color of my shot and how much crema I produce, and can more effectively adjust my tamp pressure, grind, or duration of brewing. I also just think a shot of espresso, like a pint of stout beer, is a thing of beauty, and I don't agree with my self-righteous, snot-nosed husband who says the only thing that matters about a shot is how it tastes (he thinks I'm the snob, because I care about the aesthetics). Taste is obviously the main thrust, but the the visual cues of how the shot will probably taste (the depth, texture and color of the crema as well as the color and density of the brew underneath the crema) are practically as rewarding to me as the actual taste. I've had espresso glasses before but never with a curved bottom, and I'm not interested enough to explore the physics in any kind of depth but the curvature does inform my shot for the better (more crema). Maybe I'm tripping but I don't think so and I'm not willing to bone up on this to confirm it other than through ocular proof. Come on, these glasses are just beautiful, and the suspension effect also packs a wallop. One thing, as others have noted, is that the glasses are pretty light-weight and thus fragile, but I haven't found them absurdly fragile or anything. No leaking or micro-cracks thus far. They seem to retain the heat of the drink to my satisfaction and they aren't prohibitively hot to handle. Perfect balance of form and function. Thanks Bodum!

These expresso shot glasses are so great! My fingers never get burnt making my lattes any more! They look great too.
Coffee geek husband is addicted to these. January 26, 2008

My coffee snob husband thinks these little cups rule the roost.
Despite the fact that he shatters one periodically while washing or handling them, he keeps wanting more. He says nothing else will keep the temperature of an espresso shot optimal for the same length of time.
Okay, I'll admit it. I think they're a little absurd.
But I keep buying them for him when I catch them on sale (great stocking stuffers!) because I know how much he loves them... and because I know he'll eventually break his and need another.
