Customer Reviews

Sturdier and improved!5
I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke
with someone else roughly loading it with a couple
of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just
love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and
didn't really know how I could do without so
I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I'd
read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile
these are and how precious to me etc...

Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and
sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside
while still holding up to having boiling water poured in
to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident
around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters
on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.
So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.
The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.

Beautiful and functional5
Yes, the glass is thin and you have to be careful with them, but I haven't broken any yet, and I use them pretty often. I've used them for hot and cold beverages and they're great for ice cream too. They've been both hand-washed and through the dishwasher - no problems so far. I'll probably get more.
