 Try the competition's glass... July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read all of the review warnings and my Bodum glasses also suffered the same demise-which is a good thing really, because treating them like priceless heirlooms was making me mental.
I then found glasses called Strong Double Wall Thermo glasses on Amazon that were cheaper and stronger than the Bodum's..They are heavier and may sweat just a bit more than the Bodum glasses and the 14 oz. really holds about 11.5 but what a relief to not have to panic everytime you use a double wall glass.Cheers.
 Perfect in a humid climet July 5, 2007

I have had the Ice Tea glasses for a few months now and love them. Living in a high humidity area and disliking plastic glasses these have been the perfect answer. Reading what others said about ice I have had no problems putting in a 1/2 glass of liquid and then adding ice and the rest of the liquid. I wash them on the top shelf of the dishwasher with no problem. We love them so much I just ordered more.
Great but very easy to break. August 30, 2006

I bought these for my mother's birthday because she has always liked double walled cups; unfortunately they weren't out of the box 5 minutes before one was broke and what a shame considering the cost!!
 Break very easily July 22, 2006

I bought 4 of these glasses and all 4 have now broken. All of them had the inside layer of glass crack, shatter, break which is VERY DANGEROUS if you are not paying attention because the glass is paper thin and I hate to think what would happen if it was consumed.
It's too bad because I did love the fact that the glasses didnt sweat, and they held ice for much much longer than regular glassware.
However, all 4 of mine broke one by one from the same thing: ice pushing on the glass from the inside. If you pour liquid into the glass first, then put your ice in second, your ice will tend to insta-freeze together. With most glassware, this is no problem since a simple tap on the ice will break this weak bond apart. However, since these glasses are wider on top than most of the lower 75%, a simple tap (I'm talking VERY LIGHT TAP) is enough to exert enough outward pressure on the inner lining of the glass to crack or break it.
When it breaks, its very quiet. Your only clue to that there are glass shards in your drink is that the liquid immediately fills the void between the two layers.
If I could rate these zero stars I would. Don't waste your money, use a coaster.
Too Delicate June 3, 2006

Lovely and a great concept but FAR too fragile to be practical. This is an ICED tea glass which implies that ice is in the drink, but unless you ever-so-cautiously place each cube into the glass, the inside lining will crack. I've been afraid to take the last sip or two of a drink because if the ice slides to the top for that sip, it will also slide back to the bottom with unfortunate results. Bodum has replaced two of the four sets that I purchased, but I will not buy any more.
