Amazon.com Review
Perfect for everyday use, the four white-wine glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian wineglass maker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756). Being lead-free, they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 9-7/8 ounces and stands 7-1/8 inches high. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961, it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. --Fred Brack

The Best for Everyday Wine Glasses4
I own dozens of wine glasses from the most expensive lead crystal to winery logo glasses. I also have a set of Reidel Vinum's as well. I bought these for everyday/dishwasher use. Wow! Both the Red and White are wonderful... I side by side taste tested (glass to glass) my Chardonnay (yes, mine) and the White Wine Glass was way above average and perfect for everyday. Frankly, white wine dosen't need a snifter glass as some do...Tip: It also helps to not fill the glass to the top and please don't freeze the Chardonnay!!

Excellent, inexpensive - great for beginning oenophiles!5
If you're like me, you'd rather put your hard-earned money towards nice wines than on overpriced glassware. However, wine just doesn't taste the same if you drink it out of a plastic cup (yes, I am a college student). These entry-level glasses from Riedel fit the bill perfectly for my needs and are a great value for the price. The nose is enhanced, the taste is more pronounced, and the overal wine experience is heightened by using a high quality glass like this one. Plus, if one of them accidently gets broken, at [a small price per]/glass its not a big deal. However, I wouldn't trust the dishwasher with these glasses even though the description says you can. And yes, they are not crystal but they are very close at a fraction of the price. Highly recommended.

Great size and feel5
Since we bust up wine glasses with distressing regularity, this inexpensive set by a name manufacturer seemed like a good bet. We haven't been disappointed. The size and shape are good, and the quality of the glass and finish are excellent. Best of all, they can go in the dishwasher!

Large Shot Glass5
Much better than the small shot glasses usually sold for espresso shots. Room for a double and wide enough for both streams to fit. Graduations are clearly visible. Wouldn't be without it now. Highly recommended.

Works5
Marks are easy to read. Has been through 5 dishwasher cycles so far and the writing is not coming off yet. Highest mark is 3.5. Maybe completely full is 4 but 3.5 is really the usable limit. I use it for making cocktails.

Customer Reviews

watch out - the sizes are confusing!5
I really like my Bodum coffee presses - I have two sizes, and was delighted to see I could replace the beaker separately. But watch out if you order a replacement beaker. My small one holds 3 of what I think are ordinary cups, so I ordered the 3 cup replacement beaker by mistake. Looks like my small one is actually an 8 cup unit, and my big one (which hold 5 of my cups) is a 12 cup unit. There is no info on the Bodum itself of how big it is, so if you don't remember, it takes some guesswork to figure out whether you have a "3", "8", or "12" cup Bodum.
Study the measurements carefully and get the closest match. The oz's held are the easiest way to tell, but of course if the beaker is broken you have a problem.

Love the coffee, hate the carafe3
I love using a French press...hot, fresh coffee, hmmmm. But the glass carafes drive me nuts. I recently broke my second one, in the sink. Just a small bump will do it. Anyway, choosing the replacement part is much harder than breaking the carafe. Bodem says "4 cup" and what it actually is, is 24 ounces (apparently a "cup" is 6 ounces). So I measured my carafe, which held 32 ounces (this is 4 cups if 1 cup=8 ounces), and ordered a 4 cup replacement carafe. Wrong.

I went to the horse's mouth (Bodem's website) and there I find that an 8 cup is 32 US ounces (ounces are getting smaller all the time!). So this is what (I think) I want. If its wrong again, I'll let you know.

Bodum 34 ounce beaker is commonly called 32 ounce too.and some FAQ too5
Bodum manufactures four sizes of Chambord French Press sizes.

They are called 3 cup, 4 cup, 8 cup and 12 cup.
http://www.bodumusa.com

If Amazon were to have investigated their listing of this replacement beaker,they should have categorized it as that of 32 ounce for less confusion, or should have simply listed the beaker as 8 cup,etc.
Or,even 32/34 ounce may have been a better choice.

Here is the scoop,(in my opinion),for all the confusion of sizes for beakers listed on Amazon or elsewhere.

When you are shopping for replacement beakers you start to realize whom is providing the correct information.

It is not Amazon calling this 34 ounce to help you out,unless the replacement beaker is not made by Bodum and instead some other brand name?

Amazon sells you a 8 cup French Press,then lists the replacement beaker as 34 ounce,i believe that the beakers are either not made by Bodum or information maybe lost in metric sizes to us calculations.Just list the beaker as mentioned above.

Therefore,i shall list clarification for you all and one day will review my own comments incase i require another beaker,although I suggest you buy a replacement one anyways if you become accustomed to enjoying French press coffee.

A French Press is worth nothing if the carafe beaker breaks. Buy one replacement beaker even the first time you have bought a French Press, then years down the road you will have thanked me for that advice.
Have have had mine with no problems since 2006,but felt it is best to be prepared now.


Bodum makes the following sizes clarified as follows.

3 Cup model is 0.35 liters or 12 ounces size beakers
4 Cup model is 0.60 liters or 17 ounces size beakers
8 Cup model is 1.00 liter(one liter size) or 32 ounce beakers
12 cup model is 1.50 liter ( 1 1/2 liter size) or 48 ounce size beakers.

So, when you see 34 ounce beaker listed it is actually 32 ounces or one liter size replacement beaker. That is because a company like Amazon should list it as 32/34 ounce for better clarification just like Bodum website does.
My perception is this 8 cup model is Bodum part # 1508-10

Also, you may consider buying the double walled glass carafe listed on Bodum website as part # 10573-10 but not sure if is listed for sale on Amazon. Just copy-paste the model number 10573-10 in the search mode and find out. On Bodum site,#10573-10 sells for $39.95 for double walled glass carafe. Of course, Bodum has its own shipping fees so find it on Amazon instead to try to get free shipping offers...
Not really sure if double walled glass carafe is worth twice the price,but maybe if you are making your French Press coffee not following directions properly that double walled glass may be your solution to not break your carafes anyways.
Therefore, consider this glass beaker for the masses.

Customer Reviews

Thank you, Riedel!5
I have been enjoying single malt scotch since back in the '70's. For a long time the selection available here in the States was quite limited. My normal choice of glass was a brandy snifter. The recent explosion of available brands of single malt caused me to branch out and try a couple other varities with mixed results. After reading the descriptions of some varities online, I found I just wasn't sensitive enough to discover the aromas and tastes they were experiencing. I was just about to settle back with my old favorite, (Can I name brands here?), Glenfiddich, when I discovered the availability of specialized tasting glasses while searching online.

I never thought the shape of a glass could make so much difference! These specialized glasses have opened new doors, or should I say new bottles, to the single malt scotch world for me. Is it the curve of the rim? I don't know. I can't say that I am smelling and tasting all of what the 'experts' claim is there, but they do make a difference. If you have any interest in exploring single malt scotches these specialized glasses are a must have.

And I may be bordering on sacrilege, but I've tried a little rum in them and they seem to work for that spirit also.

Great addition to your bar!5
My wife and I love these glasses. We have a large selection of Riedel products and these Single Malt glasses are of the same quality. I briefly considered the 'Sommelier' edition of the same glasses and while I'm sure they are fantastic I do not find that the Vinum series is lacking anything.

As long as your buying scotch at $50+/bottle why not drink it out of a nice glass?

Great glasses5
One of my 2 favorite single malt glasses. Always a hard decision between using the Ridel or the Johnson wisky tots. Great merchant eith rapid delivery.

These glasses are easy to hold. They are stackable, so they save space in the cupboard. The design is pleasant and traditional. They seem very sturdy and useful.

Stackable beverage glasses - very nice!4
They do stack and are attractive. Seem smaller than you would expect, but they do hold the amounts they describe. None of mine were broken on arrival, but I was surprised as the "packing" was minimal. I like them and am glad I bought them. I have not broken one so I can't comment on them being tempered (thankfully) yet.

Very nice large glass jar5
I was searching for large glass jars to store bath salts when I discovered this Anchor Hocking 2-gallon container. It has proven to be perfect for the application. I highly recommend it for jobs that don't require a hermetic seal. The glass is totally clear, and the jars are made of what feels like heavy Pyrex...old world quality!

My two examples arrived in 2-days, very well packed. The service through Amazon was outstanding. The price was great too, the best I found on the web.

The Best !5
These are the best for storage. I use them for potpourri and
just about everything.
I was disappointed, I ordered 4 and 2 arrived broken. No reflection
on the product. They were not packed with any bubblewrap.
Just in a box.
However this can be dangerous, and I did cut my hand on trying
to re wrap it for returning.

Love this jar!5
Huge glass jar! Fits all my flour and leaves plenty of space for a cool scoop!

Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Cooler/Beer Glasses, Set of 2


Product Description

The Bodum double wall Canteen Cooler glasses are 13 ounces in size and can be used for cold or warm beverages. Its unique design is appealing to the eye when filled with your favorite beverage. With its double layer of borosilicate glass it appears as though the liquid is 'floating' within the glass. They will not sweat when filled with a cold beverage, so you will not have to use a coaster. The double wall creates a thermal effect, helping to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for longer periods of time. These mouth blown glasses are an exciting product for any home, restaurant, and cafe and are a definite conversation piece. Bodum’s insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass traditionally used to make scientific lab glass. Stronger than traditional “soda-lime” glass, borosilicate can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in everyday glassware. The boron oxide acts as the glue holding the silicate together. Due to small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger, lighter glass. Borosilicate glass doesn’t need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong due to the bonding capability boron oxide. Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching. Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is resistant to temperature swings, In addition to being dishwasher safe borosilicate will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 1,000 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it.

Amazon.com Review
Drawing on modern technology and innovative design, Bodum's Canteen collection puts a new twist on everyday drinkware. The walls of each vessel are hand blown with two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended inside. Cut in slightly tapered, clean lines, they have an almost futuristic appeal that emphasizes the relationship of form and function.


Customer Reviews

great glasses bad customer service4
The insulated glassed are great. The first shipment was poorly packed and two of the four glasses were broken. I returned the broken glassed and immediately received new unbroken glasses. Now a month later Amazon says I didn't return the glasses and there are going to double bill me.

very nice5
been shopping for replacements for some nice big bowl Schotts which had fallen by the wayside (generally with a crash) over the years and spotted these

they're (xxl Burgundy)even bigger (taller and more capacity) than those punchbowls, but the balance is excellent and given the thinness of the bowl seem durable (already whacked one soundly against the faucet while washing and no worries)

recommended

glass5
Very nice set. Looks expensive. Easy to hold, use. Easy to wash. Right size.

Great glasses5
I ordered two sets of these becuase I wanted some good quality highball glasses. I had some Riedel H2O Longdrink glasses, but several shattered very easily. These, on the other hand, are substantial enough that they withstand normal use as well as washing. The glasses have a nice weight and are more than worth the price.

They work5
I was actually surprised to find that wine *did* taste better from these glasses than what I'd used before. (Hmmm -- not necessarily better; bad wines taste worse, an unanticipated consequence.) In addition, the glasses are simple but pretty without being so expensive that I'm afraid to use them. I'm even willing to put them in the dishwasher, an important consideration for a self-indulgent bachelor. (I did manage to break one, though -- my own fault.) All in all, could hardly have been better.

sturdy basics5
if you're like me, and suddenly need glassware, this is a great choice.

let's say i got a little sauced at a bar with friends, was feeling a bit grand, and decided to invite twelve growling, tattooed, punk hooligans who'd never touched a decent stem over to my house for a somewhat formal dinner. obviously a problematic situation.

would i want something that wouldn't send me into a fit once someone decided to hurl one on the floor as an proclamation? absolutely. would i want to make sure that my smelly, ill-mannered punker friends had a good glass of wine in their calloused paws, and are treated as royalty at least once in their lives? without a doubt.

this is a good, hearty line of glasses for those with both price and quality in mind. rock on.

Good, solid, cheap glasses5
Generic and solidly made glasses, not the thin cheap stuff, just the sort of glass you get your water in at restaurants.

Juice Glasses, small but nice!4

None of mine were broken on arrival, but I was surprised as the "packing" was minimal. I like them and am glad I bought them. I have not broken one so I can't comment on them being tempered (thankfully) yet.

Great little glasses5

Amazon.com Review
Ideal for stylish entertaining, this set of 16 matching glasses equips a bar to serve many cold drinks, from Scotch on the rocks to mint juleps. The set consists of eight tall, 18-ounce cooler glasses and eight short, 13-ounce double old-fashioned glasses in Libbey's contemporary Imperial pattern. Made of medium-thick glass, the glasses have slender, raised flutings that rise from the four corners of the bases. The 6-3/4-inch cooler glasses measure 2-7/8 inches in diameter at the tops, flare in the middle, and taper slightly to 2-1/8 inches square at the bottoms. The 2-5/8-inch double old-fashioned glasses measure 3-1/2 inches in diameter at the tops, also flare in the middle, and taper slightly to 2-3/4 inches square at the bottoms. The glasses are durable and dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack



Customer Reviews


Too fragile5
I bought this beverage set through Amazon's Gold Box. My original review was premature. After getting the glasses, I thought they were nice. But a couple years later, we have maybe two or three of the original set still standing. A couple we broke due to clumsiness, but the rest broke too easily, in the dishwasher or on minor contact. The glasses are thick at the bottom but thin enough at the top that they'll break easily. I must disqualify my original review. The review edit feature isn't letting me change the star rating, but I'd drop it to two stars if it would let me.
