Bodum Assam Double-Wall Shot/Espresso Glasses, Set of 2

Product Description

The Bodum Double Wall Assam Shot/Espresso Glasses are 3 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. This size also works nicely for sake and green tea. 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. The double wall also makes for a nice votive candle holder, eliminating wax spills and the need for a coaster. 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
Combining modern materials and clever styling, Bodum's Assam drinkware brings a truly innovative look to the table. The walls of each vessel are actually two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended within. Highlighting the dramatic effect, the Assam shape features slightly concave sides that flare out as they reach the smooth, round rim.

This set of two double wall shot/espresso glasses serves silver tequila or extra-strong coffee with equal 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 3-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Assam with the Pavina and Canteen lines for 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.

Customer Reviews

I bought 4 sets5
I was going to get the Pavlina kind, but what drew me to these is the 3oz size (vs 2oz on the others) - so a 2oz espresso with a huge head of crema fits nicely, or you have space for a dash of cream, foam or whatever you temper your coffee with.

The design is very conventional and pleasant to hold. It kind of reminds me of a shape-holding balloon, no sharp edges and fits perfectly in the hand, like you were pressing on it (even if you aren't)

There's a kind of satisfaction that's hard to quantify. I love to hold these, I love the layers of espresso, crema and occasional cream visible from the side. They even feel nice when being washed, maybe the lack of sharp edges and corners. I always prefer function over form, though in this case it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, and they don't trade off against each other.

The only problem I have is that my son wants to drink milk from these, and it takes him four fill-ups to get through his normal glass of milk.

Nearly perfect4
The only real issues with these cups are that they are a little fragile.

I used a pair of the 3 oz. Assam version of Bodum's espresso cups as my main shot cups for months. Fantastic heat retention, no need to preheat like with some demitasse cups.

They are safe to use in dishwashers but with the light weight tend to bounce around so I'd recommend just hand washing.

The only real questions you have with these Bodum espresso cups is whether 2 or 3 oz. is a better size for you (I lean toward 3 oz. for general use. Holds a double easily and a little foamed milk if you like) and what shape you prefer.

Be careful with them and you'll love 'em. they break very, very easily.

Other than that, they're wonderful.

Gorgeous but....4
The glasses are gorgeous, very light and almost don't get warm to the touch so you don't burn your hands with an extremely hot espresso, but... they have a small hole on the bottom. I am not an expert in glass blowing techniques but I would suppose the small hole is the result of the technique in order to make the double wall. Well, the problem is that one of my glasses has gotten water inside and I am unable to dry it out. I have left it several days over my Rancilio Silvia which has a warming tray on the top, hoping that the heat will evaporate the water inside but no result. Next step is to place it over a higher heat source, I'll try also to microwave it unsure of the results. Be careful when washing them by hand and I would advise they are not dishwasher safe.

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.

handle while you are awake!4
The glass beaker does its job well, and stands up to the dishwasher great. What it doesn't tolerate is any kind of accidental "crash" by knocking it against a sink or faucet. Before you can blink an eye, it's broken. Anytime it is in your hands, BE CAREFUL!!

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.

This set of two double old fashioned/tumbler glasses serves anything from mai tais to eggnog. 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 7-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Canteen with the Pavina and Assam 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.

Customer Reviews

Lives up its promise, but..4
I purchased the 6oz. 'Canteen' model, to try out with straight liquor on ice. I am more a sipper than a gulper, and with normal glasses, the ice always melts before I finish, diluting my drink. Overall, I have been very pleased with these Bodum insulated glasses. My ice lasts much longer, my drink stays cold, etc.

That said, there are always tradeoffs. The glasses have a lightweight, almost plastic feel to them. They lack the substantial feel of thick-bottomed Old-Fashioned glasses. I suspect that perception is exaggerated by the appearance of the Bodum glasses. At casual glance, the airspace between the two layers tends to looklike it is thick bottomed also - which it is not. When you pick one up, your are always mildly surprised at how little they weigh.

Another aesthetic tradeoff of the double-wall construction is the thick, rounded rim. It is quite unlike the hard, crystalline thin walls of a good-quality drink glass. My wife found this particular feature troubling enough to not use the Bodum glasses.

However, I do continue to use them. Despite all the compromises, they actually do fulfill their mission. They do keep your drink fresher, longer. I can hold the drink in my hand comfortably, and am not always looking for a coaster to put it down. I plan to buy a set of the larger size for my summer beer drinking.

All but perfect5
Best possible bourbon glass for your first 3 drinks, after that you'll need to put it away or you could break it. It's glass is thin, but it's well worth the risk.

Bodum Double Wall Glasses5
These glasses are the best glasses I have ever owned. I will never use another type of glass. They can be used for both hot and cold beverages, you can not feel either cold or hot on the outside of the glass, and they don't sweat so you don't need to use coasters.

Customer Reviews

Breakage3
I am happy with the product itself...however,
out of the 12 glasses that were ordered, 4 glasses were shattered all over the box. I salvaged 8 glasses and didn't pursue the damages with the company. Very poorly packed...only separated by the cardboard dividers...no extra packing paper was added...I was surprised that the delivery person would even deliver a package that was rattling with broken glass because there was so much of it and it was so obvious.

Excellent Quality, Excellent Buy: But Why is Amazon the Only Retailer to Stock Soda Fountain Malt Glasses?5
Perhaps you too have noticed the proliferation of martini glasses and other forms of retro-is-back stemware offered by bed, bath & kitchen retailers. Nevertheless there are a few things that are nearly impossible to find through traditional retail channels. These old fashioned soda fountain malt/sundae glasses certainly qualify. Why they have all but disappeared from retail shelves ---- even the stock-everything-under-the-sun Walmart ---- beats me. Sure they harken back to the 1950s (and even earlier). But does it ever go out of fashion to serve your ice cream and soda deserts in style? Not in my book. These are stylish and classy. Glass tumblers and ceramic cereal/soup bowls doubling as ice cream and soda fountain servingware are not.

These are heavy, commercial quality glasses. I am thankful that Amazon offers them, and at a great price too. Unfortunately, the second item that nobody stocks offline anymore is a necessary accompaniment when serving a thick malt: Iced Tea Spoons. These Anchor Hocking Soda Fountainware glasses, which stand seven inches tall, are a perfect match for iced tea spoons with their elongated handles. Bed, Bath & Beyond doesn't stock them. Macys doesn't offer them. And ironically enough, the flatware market king, Oneida, doesn't even appear to manufacture them. Again, Amazon to the rescue. Buy 'em both while you still can and you too can host your own ice cream social. Retro has never been so cool!

Not pretty but Functional4
Cons:
1. These are not pretty (at least to me). There is too much empty space along the base between the 2 glass walls. It looks weird. But I dont care, since I am more concerned about the functional aspects and the price.

Pros:
1. They dont break when using hot water (170F) or cold water. Some of the other reviewer comments had me really worried.
2a. They do what they say.. hot drink dont feel hot, yet stay hot for longer.
2b. Cold drinks dont mist up the outside glass wall and stay colder for longer.
3. Very light. I hate heavy stuff, that why I'm a Corelle fan.

Facts:
1. If you drop them.. they will break. They are fragile!!
With great features comes great responsibility, so please be very careful.
2. They hold 10ounces of fluid which is as much liquid as a regular mug.

Customer Reviews

3" tall, check before you buy4
This is a nice shot glass, and the 1oz mark is extremely useful, especially if your espresso machine does not automatically stop brewing. However, the glass is 3" tall, and therefore does not fit properly with a DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker. You will have to move the glass aside and remove the metal grate in order to take your shot glass out from under the portafilter.

Great product, shipping was an issue4
Amazon customer service is great but there shipping on occassion is less than perfect.

After three attempts to deliver , by the third time my order for three ( un damaged ) glasses were fufilled.

Nice product when it is in one peice

Great, Stylish product5
These shot glasses are handsome and sturdy. Great value. They are taller than some shot glasses, so check to see if they will fit under your portafilter before you buy. I bought these instead of the insulated bodum shot glasses because I can't afford to use such a fragile product. These have a great weight to them and are so thick that they won't burn your fingers.

Customer Reviews

Great simple glasses5
We purchased 6 of these about 2 years ago and liked them so much we finally completed our set of 12. They are especially good for us because we host large family gatherings often and inevitably one of the kids accidentally knocks over a glass - because these have no stems, not a single one of them has ever broken. I highly recommend these glasses.

QualityReidel a bargain 5
I've been looking for these glasses for several months at stores near home but no one seemed to carry the white wine glasses, only the reds. When I saw them online and at a great price I ordered them, but fully expected that at least one would be broken when they were delivered. I was delighted to be wrong! They arrived in perfect shape and with surprisingly little packaging. These are fantastic glasses and they've even withstood our lively house. Three months and still 8 glasses!

Riedel4
It took us awhile to warm up to this style of glass, but after trying them they're quite nice at the dinner table and our guests like them. They are fragile near the top and you'll want to be careful washing/drying them.
