Amazon.com Review
What's not to love? These handsome glasses combine great looks with insulating temperature control qualities and anti-condensation protection to boot. Keep your piping hot, large glass of tea warm in the morning and a tall, frosty glass of beer cool in the evening with this set of two 11-ounce glasses. These glasses, like all Bodum Canteen glasses, are hand made and mouth blown, and cleverly feature a two glass walls, trapping air between the walls to provide insulation, keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. As an added bonus, the dual layers prevent condensation accumulating on the outside of cold drinks and dripping onto your wood tables.

The design is not only functional but adds a striking visual aspect to the containers also: beverages seem to float within the glass due to the double-walled design. This visual appeal is enhanced because the outer layer is shaped like a traditional rounded juice glass, while the inner layer has a more tapered profile. Made of borosilicate glass, the set is dishwasher safe. The design has won several awards and rave reviews, notably the European iF Design Award. Match with any Bodum Pavina glassware, or coordinate with Bodum's other double-walled insulated glassware patterns, Canteen and Assam. --Jeff Dalto

Editor's Note: Because each glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. You should also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

2 out of 5 stars Fragile, Beware   August 22, 2005
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I had read all the warnings about dropping ice cubes into these
glasses prior to purchase. I still purchased and made sure not to use any ice or place anything solid inside. After the third
day the score is one down one to go. Despite extraordinary caution I still notice the inner glass lining broken. There was very little liklyhood of ingesting the glass , but at 10 buck apiece you expect to use them more than twice.



1 out of 5 stars Cool but no thanks.   August 22, 2005

I saw these in a magazine and thought it was a great idea. My wife gave me 4 for my birthday. Within 1 week the 1st was broken due to someone dropping an ice cube into it. I complained to my wife this was a poor design (they are also expensive), she defended them saying the guest must of "thrown" the cubes into the glass.

Well my wife has changed her tune. The 2nd one broke about 3 weeks later. She filled the glass with soda, put 2 ice cubes in gently. 5 minutes later, she notices a hole in the bottom, and some loose glass. A glass you cant use with ice cubes? What a crappy design.

I wouldnt want to be the one who has a guest over and they drink some glass. Lawsuit?

At least if they had some mention of the fragility on the packaging it wouldnt be so bad.

2 thumbs down Bodum.

I predict these will be withdrawn from the market.

Crappy design.



4 out of 5 stars Light, but more sturdy than they appear   August 2, 2005
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I read all the reviews and had to put my two cents in. These glasses are quite sturdy, don't feel like a Christmas ornament like someone said, and are very beautiful. They are somewhat costly and need to be handled with care, so I wouldn't recommend dropping ice in them while dry. However, if the inner glass broke you would definitely notice. All you would need to do is look at the tumbler to see that the inner glass is broken and the liquid has spilled into the outer glass. There is no way you would be in danger of swallowing glass. I give them four stars only because I did notice a very slight condensation when the glass was full of icy liquid, and for 10 dollars a piece I don't think there should be any.

The glasses are beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold. There is no problem with condensation, even in the humid southern heat.
Complaints about their fragility are a bit confusing. I would never dream of dropping ice cubes directly into nice crystal, and I would not drop ice cubes directly into these glasses either; they are not Wal-Mart tumblers, and should not be treated as such. That said, mine regularly go through the normal cycle in the dishwasher with no problems. I purchased them (8 in all) several months ago, have not lost even one due to breakage, and take great pleasure in using them.

Nice to look at, but extremely fragile. Despite taking extra care after ordering these from Amazon, both glasses broke within 3 days of usage. Even dropping a small ice cube into the glass is sufficient to crack the unusually thin interiror glass wall.
