Product Description

An updated Pilsner to keep your beer cool and frothy. The next generation of double wall glass from Bodum, the Manhattan double wall beer glass is handcrafted of borosilicate glass, which is durable lightweight, and temperature resistant. The two-layer construction resists heat and prevents condensation, so no matter what temperature the beverage is, the glasses remain comfortable to hold and keep your tabletop safe from rings. The insulated layer stops the heat from transferring from your hand to the beer or beverage, keeping cold drinks colder and hot drinks hotter for a longer period of time. Dishwasher safe, borosilicate glass won't cloud even after years of dishwashing. Each glass is sold individually and holds 20 oz.

I bought this tall beer glass, two 15 ounce glasses, plus four bowls. The bottom line is they are great. I can eat hot soup out of the bowl while holding the bowl in my hand - great for TV watching. Yes, you have to be very careful with these products. I wash them carefully by hand mostly, but have washed the 15 ounce glasses and the bowls in the dishwasher with no problems yet. The beer glass is tall so it doesn't fit in the cupboard with the rest of my glasses so had to find another taller cupboard to put it in. Its height could make it awkward and easy to knock over as well but all the precautions are worth it because your beer is ice cold to the last drop. NO SWEATING GLASSES EITHER. Coasters are not required for these glasses. I recommend NOT washing the beer glass in the dishwasher because it would have to go on the bottom due to its height and could fall over.

It's been about a little over a month since I purchased a sizable quantity of these glass for home everyday use (assorted sizes, 24 count total), and two glasses have spontaneously cracked on us. Other than using them for everyday-use, we have been very careful with them - they've been washed with a soft sponge, we have a designated space in the cabinet to store them (not stacked), etc. These glasses are just not cut out for everyday use. We have been using the glasses to drink warm (hot chocolate) and cold drinks (iced beverage). Both broken glasses spontaneously cracked at the bottom while it was sitting on the desk holding a drink. At first, I thought someone had accidentally slammed it, but I actually witnessed the spontaneous cracking when the second glass broke.

I am very disappointed with the functionality of the product. I'm a sucker for good designs, but I expect a reasonable level of durability. These glasses have been incredibly sub standard - my cheap ikea glasses I bought for $5/dozen have fared better. Maybe these glasses are meant to be put away in some display case, only to be used for special occasions... but what's the point of buying glasses if you are not going to use them?

I have several glasses similar to this one so I know you need to hand wash them and be very careful. I had washed this one and put it on a towel to dry and it shattered. Emailed Central Chef and they basically called me a liar and said I must have hit against the side of my sink rather than admitting that maybe I got a faulty glass. Not happy about their customer service. I would rather have someone tell me "Unfortunately there isn't much we can do for you, however here is a gift certificate for 10% off your next purchase". Terrible customer service if you ask me. I will never buy anything from Central Chef again and I will not recommend them to anyone.
