Bodum Pavina 21-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Glasses (X-Large/Tall Iced Tea), Set of 2
Bodum Pavina glasses provide superb insulation for both hot and cold drinks due to their unique double-wall feature. Air trapped between the two walls allow you to hold onto a piping hot glass of espresso without burning your fingers, or prevent condensation from forming on the outer wall while holding a cold beverage. Made of strong yet lightweight borosilicate glass, these glasses can safely go in the diswasher and microwave.
With futuristic looks and high-tech construction, Bodum's Pavina drinkware makes an exciting departure from traditional glassmaking. The walls of each vessel are crafted from two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended inside. Softening the look, Pavina's shapes feature smooth, rounded silhouettes. The inner wall also curves slightly away from the outer wall for a touch of understated elegance. This set of two double wall iced tea/iced beverage glasses serves sun-brewed tea, fruit smoothies, or even a steaming latte with ease. Crafted of borosilicate glass, which is also used to make scientific lab equipment, the pair is exceptionally strong, lightweight, and thermal. The two-layer construction also resists heat and prevents condensation, so no matter what temperature the beverage is, the glasses remain comfortable to hold and safe for any tabletop. Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award, this 21-ounce scratch-resistant set goes into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Pavina with the Assam and Canteen lines to stock the bar or dining table with a variety of fun shapes. --Kara Karll Editor's Note: Because the glasses are mouth blown, each one may have slight variations in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. Do not use metal spoons or place the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

Bodum Pavina 21-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Glasses (X-Large/Tall Iced Tea), Set of 2 Reviews
I then ordered a set for myself to have at home. I first ordered a set of these for a coffee shop I was managing. Our customers loved them and the staff loved using them. they are beautiful. Also, very helpful in teaching staff what a proper shot should look like because you can see the 3 leves of the shot clearly. I love pulling a shot into them. They are beautiful and adds a real luxury to espresso making.
Once the coffee cools down just a bit from the brewing process, the temperature holds for a while so the coffee can be enjoyed over 40 or so minutes. These double wall glasses are a nice addition to my coffeeware. I would recommend covering the hole during dishwashing or applying a small amount of epoxy to seal it. The Bodum company is no help on how to solve the problem. The glasses are not very large, so if you are accustomed to drinking a 'standard' coffee (12 oz), buy a larger size. One reviewer explained that the glassware has a small hole in the bottom which is bad for dishwashing. They hold the coffee in an attractive container at a good temperature which does not burn the fingers.
if you put them in the freezer, the outside will quickly adjust to your hand. We'll be buying more. It's all true: they keep things hot (or cold) especially if you pre-warm them); you can prewarm them with water in the microwave (). The outside stays warm to the touch no matter how hot or cold the contents are. Oh, and put a little liquid in them and then gently tip them: they don't fall over. We've got the 9oz version; we also bought some of their "Double Old Fashioned" glasses, which are also becoming favorites for cold drinks. They do seem fragile, but so far, no breaks. and you can chill them in the freezer.
I was able to replace it with easily through Amazon's excellent customer service, and the replacements as well as one original have been holding up just fine for the past couple of months. One cracked in the dishwasher after two or three washes. As others have mentioned, this cup is beautiful, and perhaps somewhat fragile.
