I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke
with someone else roughly loading it with a couple
of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just
love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and
didn't really know how I could do without so
I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I'd
read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile
these are and how precious to me etc...
Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and
sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside
while still holding up to having boiling water poured in
to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident
around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters
on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.
So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.
The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.

i bought these mugs because i thought they were aesthetically pleasing as well as really a good idea. these statements are still both true, as i enjoyed using the glasses for the short time they lasted. unfortunately these glasses are extremely delicate. they are as delicate as expensive crystal. sadly, using these mugs to enjoy my morning coffee resulted in them lasting no more than a few days. all that it took to destroy a mug was the impact from a slight tilting onto the counter from a standing position on that same counter. the other mug shattered upon a light bump while being hand washed in the sink. it is a shame, because they are so beautiful and do really work as described. please bodum try again and make these a bit more robust?

Yes, these are great mugs, but they are just too fragile. They are stylish, light and keep your coffee warm for quite a while. They are also incredibly fragile, to the point they are basically disposable. The first pair I ordered were broken when I received them. The second set made it fine in shipping, but are too fragile to be used. After two weeks one of them broke while it was being hand washed. I wasn't even applying pressure, but none the less I heard a "ting!" and the interior had cracked into pieces. I have one remaining and it seems to have a hariline crack in the lip, so I know it's only a matter of days. I plan to enjoy it wile it lasts, but I won't be buying them again.
Bodum, if you are listening: You have a great product with a fatal flaw. If you can make the glass thick enough to stand up to use, I think these would be really popular.

Yes, the glass is thin and you have to be careful with them, but I haven't broken any yet, and I use them pretty often. I've used them for hot and cold beverages and they're great for ice cream too. They've been both hand-washed and through the dishwasher - no problems so far. I'll probably get more.

I bought a two of these mugs because I liked their looks so simple and beautiful.
I had this product to use for less than 3 months, and my husband got cuts his finger so badly because this piece of junk.
Last night it just broken like a small hole inside bottom of the cup, while being hand washed in the sink. He got stitched in the doctor's office and pays $500. Look at the picture I've uploaded it'll show how it was broken.
Beware and do not touch anywhere these cups even with your finger, it can cut your finger seriously.
I do not recommend this product at all and will not be buying any more of Bodum glassware.

I'm giving these cups a 4 star rating because of their fragility. Like the other two reviewers stated, they are indeed very fragile. I've had these two cups for a couple of months now and they're still intact but my wife and I have been babying these two glass mugs very gingerly. Indeed they can be easily broken. If you have young kids, do NOT buy these as they're bound to get broken easily.
If you're yuppies or DINKS who are very careful with your China and glassware and you want some coffee mugs which look very modern and unique, buy these. They definitely make your coffee visually very appealing. :)

I was looking for a glass that would not heat up in the microwave when I warm up coffee. I was a bit worried when I read the other reviews here, but I have found these glasses to be excellent. I put them in the dishwasher and have banged them a few times and they did not break. And they are double insulated so that coffee stays nice and hot. And, its fun to be able to see the liquid you are drinking. I find myself using only these cups for anything hot (or cold in the summmer) I am ordering some for my parents. Give them a try!

I am now upgrading my review to 5 stars. Bodum has done a good fix for their earlier problems with fragility. I reluctantly purchased a third set after the first two sets broke and am extremely happy with these. Bodum has inserted a rubber plug in the bottom of the cup which apparently takes the internal pressure out of the mug. Great fix! My current set of mugs have lasted almost a year now and I have yet to damage either, even when the cat knocked one over. This makes these my all time favorite coffee cups. They are light, elegant and keep whatever beverage warm for a long time without transferring heat to your hands. I highly recommend these. Buy a set for you and another set for a gift. They are perfect.
Earlier reviews:
I have upgraded my review from a two star rating to a four star rating.
It appears that Bodum has responded to the public. They have installed an equalizer valve in the bottom of the cup and perhaps made it thicker wall. It is obvious they have tried to fix their product's previous shortcomings.
All four of my previous Bodum cups have broken, but I love the design and feel of these cups so much that I decided to spring for another set. I'm glad I did. They remain to be the most enjoyable way to savor a cup of coffee (latte), being both attractive and light. The double wall insulation is even more effective at keeping my coffee hot than my stainless steel double walled cup with a lid. I would give a five star rating, but I've only owned this cueernt set for a week. I highly recommend them.
Below is my previous review.
I have never given a negative review until this one. These are beautiful, blown glass mugs which are quite light.... Read more ›

Beautiful and tougher than you might think, but not indestructable.
I bought one of these several years ago at a Starbucks store. I agree with nearly everything said about them, except I found mine to be quite resilient. Read more

Great, finally found insulated mugs that work!
Great item, worth every penny. So hard to find insulated mugs now. Think because "old" style wasn't dishwasher safe, so many companies stopped making them.
