Product Description

Size: 8.5-Ounce | Product Packaging: Amazon Frustration-Free

The Bodum Pavina Double Wall Glasses are individually handmade by expert artisans. Because this glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness and weight. Bodum Pavinas help keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold because of the thermal effect of the double wall. The double wall also prevents condensation and excess heat from reaching your hands. Please use care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. We suggest adding the liquid first and then the ice. Please also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher. For optimal heat retention, pre-heat the glass before adding hot liquids. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent product, surprisingly sturdy, April 9, 2006

This review is from: Bodum Pavina 8.5-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Tumber/DOF Glass, Set of 2 (Kitchen)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Because a one that isn't cold is scarcely a one at all., December 30, 2005

Takas (Arkansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bodum Pavina 12-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2 (Kitchen)

No picture can really do these glasses justice. They have nothing aesthetic in common with any other double-walled cup I've ever seen--elegant, minimalist, super clear and light as a feather. They really keep stuff cold (or hot, as the case may be). They're even dishwasher safe. However, they are remarkably fragile. I accidentally rapped a spoon on the lip of one and within half an hour, the little crack had spread and the glass was in fragments. But if you're careful with them and keep them away from kids, animals, and, apparently, me, they will serve you well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing new version, March 24, 2010

This review is from: Bodum Pavina 2.5-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Glasses (Espresso/Shot), Set of 2 (Kitchen)

I loved the previous version of this glass, which was completely hermetically sealed. The new version has a small hole in the bottom, covered in a silicone(?)-like rubbery compound. On one of my two new glasses, this compound came off in the dishwasher, which means that water gets in between the two walls and is impossible to dry... sort of like double-paned windows where humidity gets in between the layers of glass. So it's ugly and foggy, rather than clear and pristine.

Wish they had left well enough alone!
