 bodum glasses September 24, 2008
Other than the fact that it is necessary to take care that you're gentle with these glasses, they are an excellent buy. I've yet to try them with a hot drink, but my beer stays icy cold much longer than in the bottle.
Excellent glasses, but not the ones shown September 2, 2008
I've enjoyed using these all-purposes glasses for tasks ranging from very hot (scalding coffee wont affect the outside surface temp at all) to very cold (they're great for ice cream, for example). Also the Assam design is a lot more elegant than their other lines. Unfortunatly, they break very easily; my roommate and I have gone through about 8 breaks in the past year, so keep that in mind.
More significant, the picture shown for this item is NOT the actual glasses; the real glasses are significantly taller than the ones shown here. I bought these thinking that they would be similar in height to the Bodum Pavina Beer glasses (another one of their lines) and in fact they are half again as tall. The pictures show the inflection point of the curve to be about a third of the way down; in reality they are about a fifth (the point of that is only to say that its not an image scaling issue, but that the glasses in the picture are incorrect)
Despite that, I've been very happy with them, so no complaints here (although I spent another $20 to buy the ones I thought I was getting!)
 Bodum Assam Double-Wall glasses August 9, 2008
Glasses are as advertised and I use them for cold drinks because they don't sweat on good tables or wherever you may want to set them. They are however very thin and you have to be extra careful not to just drop an ice cube into an empty glass. I did and learned the first time. I do like the glasses enough to have ordered more.
Love them! July 22, 2008

It all started when my son had purchased them and in using them first hand, I really liked that you could put hot tea or coffee in them and it stayed warm as well as having a cold drink or beer and it would keep the beverage cool. I like the design as they are easy to hold (not too wide) and easy to store in the cupboard, (one up, one down etc.) and they look great! I absolutely love these! Best purchase in a long while!
lovely but lethal! July 10, 2008

i've had these less than 2 wks. just was hand-washing one and it slipped - huge sharp shards slice both of my hands - jagged and deep.
as a 27+-yr career research biochemist, i am used to pyrex lab glass - which i THOUGHT this was - waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too thin for in-home use!
do not buy.
