Amazon.com 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.

Product Description

Winners of the 2007 iF Product Design Award, the Bistro Double Wall Glasses are available in several sizes, perfectly suited for a multitude of hot and cold beverages as well as desserts. Handmade of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, these vessels insure that their contents will remain hot for a longer period of time while the glass itself remains cool to the touch. They are dishwasher and microwave safe. The jumbo coffee and tea mugs are perfect for those who need that extra "kick." The Jumbo mugs come as a set of two and hold 480ml (16.2 oz.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very durable, March 12, 2008

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice mugs - but they need better packaging from Amazon, February 1, 2008

This review is from: Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 15-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2 (Kitchen)

I like the look and feel of these mugs. My morning coffee looks like it's floating in mid-air, although I can't say that it stays hot any longer than in any other type of glass/ceramic mug. The glass itself is so thin it's like drinking out of a Christmas ornament, so although borosilicate glass is supposedly highly resistant to sudden changes in heat, I am not about to try running these through a dishwasher.

And like just about all other reviews, I received a broken mug in my package of two. But unlike other people's experience, Amazon was quick to send out a replacement set (kudos to Amazon! - perhaps they're getting good at sending out replacements on this product). One mug was also broken in the replacement package, so it took Amazon sending me two packages of two mugs apiece in order for me to get an intact set of two. Amazon needs to pay better attention to how they package these things. Their shipping boxes have plenty of room to protect these mugs from impacts on all four side, but they aren't deep enough to protect these extrememly fragile mugs from impacts to the top or bottom.

The mugs are great but are quite fragile. The biggest issue is having them arrive safely. I ordered 2 sets of 2 mugs and 3 of the 4 mugs were NOT broken. Unfortunately, both mugs in the replacement box were damaged. I'm on my third attempt to receive at least one more unbroken mug before I send back two boxes of broken mugs. I will be buying these at a local retailer if the third attempt fails.
