Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 15-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I see others had shipping problems. My problem was not with the Amazon shipment. The cups were received fine. I got the cups out of the packaging and treated them with the utmost care. The first drink I put into it the interior wall on the bottom cracked. I contacted the manufacturer, no warranty. They responded not to let ice hit the bottom of the cup. These glasses are more museum piece than functional glassware.

Product Description:
This set of two 15-ounce glass mugs from Bodum brings a quiet sophistication to the breakfast table while offering prolonged insulation for hot and cold drinks alike. With their innovative double-walled design, the Bistro glassware line won a 2007 iF product design award. Artisans at Bodum craft the clear mugs by hand out of mouth-blown, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. As each mug is constructed individually, discrepancies in the thickness of glass, height, and weight may transpire from mug to mug. When holding iced tea, the mugs' double walls thwart the accumulation of condensation on the exterior, thus eliminating the need for coasters to protect surfaces from water damage. The exterior wall of each mug also stays cool to the touch while the interior steams with hot tea. While microwave- and dishwasher- safe, Bodum advises users load the mugs on the dishwasher's top shelf with extra wiggle room to avoid contact with other dishes. Take caution when filling with ice and extremely cold liquids as they may cause the mug interiors to crack. For ice, fill the mugs with the lukewarm-to-cool drink first, then insert ice so that the contents cool down gradually within the mugs. Metal spoons and utensils also may interact with the borosilicate glass and should not be used in the mugs. To retain a drink's heat for an even longer period of time, heat the mugs before adding the beverage. This set does not come with a manufacturer's warranty. Upon shipping, the mug set measures 5-2/5 by 3-9/10 by 5 inches and weighs 2 pounds.

Bodum Pavina Double-Wall Thermo Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these after seeing them on the Bodum.com website. I admit the cool factor lured me in.

The cups maintain the temperature of a cappuccino for as long as it takes me to get to the bottom of the cup.Additionally it is nice not to need coasters (especially if you have men or children in the home).

The 9 oz cup is less than 4 inches tall, making it fit perfectly under the fill spout of my super-automatic Saeco espresso machine (which I also love).

My husband and I have had 4 of these cups for more than 6 months and not one of them has broken.I mention this because the 9 oz cups seem to be much more sturdy than the 21 oz Pavina ice tea glasses. We broke one of the 21 oz cups with the first ice cube that went into the cup.We broke 2 others in the first two weeks.

Bottom line, I cannot recommend the 21 oz Pavina.However, the 9 oz Pavina cups are very tough, having survived 6 months of daily use with less than dainty owners.I think you will be very pleased with your purchase of the 9 oz Pavina cups.

UPDATE:JULY 18, 2006
All 4 of the 9 ounce Pavina mugs are still intact even with frequent use.I continue to recommend this product.

Product Description:
The Bodum Pavina double wall cooler glass is 12 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 they 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 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.

Lenox Tuscany Classics Grand Beaujolais, Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last month I decided to try ordering this item again. Back in April when I ordered it (see review below), the glasses broke during shipping not once but twice. I decided to give it another try, because I've very much been wanting these glasses and I have honestly found Amazon to be quite phenomenal in replacing damaged items at no extra cost to me and in getting replacement items shipped quickly (i.e. they don't wait to receive the returned, damaged item before sending the replacement, but rather send it immediately upon report of the damage). And so I ordered these glasses and they arrived in excellent shape. They're an excellent complement to the rest of my Tuscany collection, and I like the size and shape much better than the Balloon Wine Tuscany glasses. My advice is to go ahead and order these glasses. Amazon will dutifully replace them if they arrived damaged. Just make sure you're not ordering on a deadline. OLD REVIEW:

I adore Lenox Tuscany Classics, collect them myself and buy them as gifts for friends. I have ordered Lenox Tuscany Classics, or had them ordered for me from my wish list, on Amazon many times. In fact, I've ordered all sorts of wine glasses on Amazon and never had a problem. Last week, however, I decided to order these Grand Beaujolais glasses as a birthday gift for a friend. The glasses never reached my house because UPS reported them damaged in shipment. Amazon kindly offered to send a replacement and upgrade free to 2-day shipping. Once again, UPS reported them damaged in shipment. Amazon very kindly gave me a full refund at this point so that I could purchase the glasses locally in time for my friend's birthday.

I have had a great experience, overall, ordering glassware from Amazon and will order glasses from them in the future, but there seems to be a shipping issue with these glasses in particular.
