Great designs. I have been a fan of Bodum for many years. The only drawback is that the capacity is not listed in the information before ordering.Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Double Old-Fashioned/Tumbler Glasses, Set of 2 I like these glasses because they don't sweat and are light. They are sturdy enough for everyday use and keep ice longer and drinks colder.
Form and function. I know there is no one around but I like the style of these glasses so I look good having my morning coffee as well. Both are present in this product. These glasses are everything that they were promised to be. I drink espresso every morning and the size of this glass is perfect for my purposes.
We love them. Our friends think it's just a tad small for cocktails. No sweating and sturdy enough for the dishwasher. The tumbler is lightweight and just the right size for my mother (75 yrs old). Once we put water in it is still light enough for her to hold.
The only reason I'm not giving them five stars (and this is absolutely a personal thing) is that I really prefer the "Pavina" shape over the "Canteen" shape. They're not all PERFECTLY identical, as they're hand blown, but you wouldn't notice it if you weren't looking for it, and I particularly enjoy this. I love microwaving them with hot drinks because they're still cool to the touch, afterward.Bodum also recommends adding fluid before adding any ice, but I've been adding the ice gently to these and then pouring drinks over the ice (they're the perfect size for mixed drinks). I can imagine some conditions under which they would, but not under normal indoor temperatures and humidities.
The glasses execute on the idea of a glass with an insulatory layer of air. The illusion of a drink floating within a glass is much more complete with that set of shapes. I also don't throw them into the sink with all the other dishes (and glasses), and that seems entirely sufficient to keep them intact indefinitely. According to the instructions, they're not especially delicate and can be washed in the dishwasher.
They never become too hot to hold like a ceramic mug would. No other complaints yet. This is all true in my experience. The glasses don't sweat with cold drinks although they do become cool.
but be careful.the breakage problem has been mentioned over and over, so it might be good for Bodum to manufacture them a little better or thicker. I also do not have a dishwasher, so I wonder if the heat from the dishwasher could have something to do with it. I love the glasses they are good insulators, and a nice sleek design. I saw these in the Starbuck's store while looking for a gift for some friends I was visiting. Some people have mentioned that newer products they have bought seem to be stronger. Within days they had broken all but one. I bought two sets and gave them to my friends. I have some that I have not broken, and I did not see how they broke them, but for some people these glasses seem to be a liability.I also have a large coffee mug, so far so good.
