Bodum Canteen 6-Ounce (0.18-Liter) Double Wall Glass Thermal Tea Infuser Set

Product Description

The Canteen Tea Cup Infuser Set by Bodum is made for design conscious tea aficionados - beautiful see-through simplicity coupled with great functionality! The double wall design of the Canteen glass creates an effective layer of insulation that keeps the tea hot for a longer period of time while the outside of the glass remains cool to the touch, keeping fingers from getting burnt. The Canteen Tea Cup Infuser Set is perfect for all types of loose leaf tea. Additionally, it allows you to view the tea while it brew and develops rich colors and taste. the filter containing tea leaves inside can be removed and used again to re-infuse the same quality loose leaf tea. All parts are made of ultra-light, temperature safe borosilicate glass. The filter ensures that leaves and kernels remain within the filter while brewing, allowing the aroma of the tea to fully evolve without the messy remains of tea leaves escaping into the cup. the lid retains the heat in the cup while the tea brews and also acts as a saucer when the filter is taken out. The glass has a capacity of 0.2l/6oz.

Good in theory, some flaws. However, great multitasking device, too.3
First off, this is beautiful. The glass is even more exquisite than it looks in the box. It's really a work of art. It ships well too, and is in a paper carton that's form fitting to the cup.

The idea is pretty nice - a cup with it's own filter for lose teas, that is reusable. I like reusable stuff. I dig recycling. So, I was down with this idea.

As per the picture, this is merely a glass without a handle. I'm fond of japanese and chinese cups which generally have no handles either, so I figured, no big deal here. Again, while you can see this in the picture, some people in my house did not and complained when I gave it to them to use. So, just throwing it out there. It is thermal, and did not get unpleasantly warm during use.

There was one flaw which was a downer for me. The vents on the insert for the filter as reviewers noted, indeed do let finer tea leaves seep into your tea. Again, having drunk it "old school", a few leaves is no bother to me. However... this prompted my examination of the insert, especially for the review.

This appears to be made out of very lightweight glass, like pyrex but far thinner. If you're used to nice hefty porecelain or stoneware, you'll be disappointed. It's almost feather-light - good for people with hand troubles though, I suppose.

At any rate, staring at the filter, I wondered to myself, how precisely did they cut those holes in the bottom? Rather than being formed, they were indeed incised into the bottom. Not generally a big deal, but there are minute cracks and marks around the opening. No, I don't think you'll get glass chips in your tea, but it seems...well, sloppy. Here's this elegant glass, and they incised holes and left cracks there, although minute...the craftsman in me sort of did a double take. Might just be my tea cup in particular, but I've done some crafting with molten glass, and I only ever see flaws like that from cutting it when it's too brittle. I sometimes wonder looking at it, if the filter was actually an afterthought, and it had a metal one instead.

It's really not a bad tea cup. It's cute, has a lid, and looks pretty. Keeps your tea warm, but it's not optimal overall. When most of us die hard tea fans already have other options for lose tea that are reusable, I can't say I'd go out of my way to buy anything like this for myself again, to be really honest with you. I might for a gift, buy one with some swank loose tea. Overall though, it's in practice not as practical as you might think.

Consider that one of the main reasons you get a thermal reusable cup for your tea or coffee is that you are moving around a lot, or even driving. This is glass - durable glass, but glass nonetheless. This won't be the thermal cup you yank for car trips.

As an aside, one thing it works *great* for are tinctures of herbs and making flavored oils. Since it can hold up to heat, I made a flavored garlic and rosemary infused oil for cooking. The lid is great for storing, and the strainer gets rid of large herb chunks perfectly. Perhaps Bodum should make a version for that too? It actually is sort of useful in lots of ways around the kitchen if you're a foodie. It's perfect to keep small amounts of gravy or sauce warm but off heat, as well, like a hollandaise. The cup is great for eating soup, too, and I found it more useful for that since my tea rarely sits long enough to cool dramatically before it's gone. So, don't just limit it to tea if you get this.

If you enjoy getting unique toys for your tea, then this won't be bad for the collection. It will stand out, and get nice comments when you have company. Chances are though if you're looking for practical specialty tea wares, there are better in general. It really depends on your own tea habits, and what you are looking for. I'd suggest using another filter with it though for fine loose teas, or a tea ball, rather than relying on the glass filter alone if tea leaves bug you.

3 stars for the double wall design minus 2 stars for filter slits3
The Bodum Canteen 6 ounce is nice in that it is glass and double walled so no metal to contaminate tea flavor and no burned fingers but the filtering mechanism consists of slits studded around the lower sides of the base of the inner cup that are large enough to allow some tea leaf particles to escape. Some reviewers didn't mention this so perhaps the clarity of the steeped tea depends on the type of loose tea leaves one buys. Also, it makes about one china teacup of tea - OK if you are a china teacup tea sipper but if you want a big mug of tea you will need to perform the steeping procedure twice. This would be nice for loose tea enthusiasts at work who wish to dispense with an extra mug/teacup as you can drink the tea from the outer double walled glass collector.

Have A "Cuppa"! Another Beautiful & Functional Product From Bodum5
The Bodum Canteen 6-Ounce (0.18-Liter) Double Wall Glass Thermal Tea Infuser Set is not only functional but beautiful as well. I own several Bodum pieces from the Assam, Ceylon and their Traditional line but this is the first piece that I have owned from the line known as "Canteen". Bodum has won many reddot design awards in the past and with this new line it's easy to see why. This mouth-blown glass double wall three piece set is just what the doctor ordered when you need a quick "cuppa" for yourself. The Canteen Tea Cup Infuser Set is perfect for all types of loose leaf tea and even coarse ground coffee. I have brewed loose leaf tea, herb tea and coffee in my Canteen and it has yet to leave any sediment in the bottom of my glass. You may pour boiling water over your tea/coffee or you may also microwave the water right in the glass itself. All the pieces in this set are microwave and dishwasher safe which makes for easy preparing and cleaning.

This tea infuser/cup features the cup itself, infuser/strainer and lid that converts into a saucer when the strainer is removed. All parts are made of beautiful, clear, mouth blown, ultra-light, temperature safe, borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in traditional glassware. This medical grade glass is the same kind of glass used to make scientific lab glass items, is super light in construction while being very strong, resists scratching and will maintain clarity much better than your average, traditional glassware. It really holds in the heat due to the double wall construction while the outside of the glass remains cool to the touch. After your cup of tea or coffee has been brewed, the glass filter can be removed and used again to re-infuse your loose leaf tea or coffee grounds.

All in all, another SUPER product and beautiful design from BODUM Inc.

Fantastic product5
The mugs are great but are quite fragile. The biggest issue is having them arrive safely. I ordered 2 sets of 2 mugs and 3 of the 4 mugs were NOT broken. Unfortunately, both mugs in the replacement box were damaged. I'm on my third attempt to receive at least one more unbroken mug before I send back two boxes of broken mugs. I will be buying these at a local retailer if the third attempt fails.

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

Product Description

The Bodum Canteen double wall shot/espresso glass is 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. 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. 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
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 any small beverage from Turkish coffee to tequila. 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 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.

fantastic!5
I was in NYC earlier this year on business, and I was served an espresso in one of these glasses. It stayed hot for at least 5 times longer than a normal glass and I immediately bought 4 when I returned home. I use these every day; they are utilitarian and beautiful - perfect design in other words.

Make it a double-shot, please5
These are great little glasses for espresso. They are about 3 oz., so I use them when pulling double shots. The extra ounce allows some room for drips or for pulling the double long. No heat comes through to the outer surface of the glass so you don't burn your fingers and the shot stays hot longer. I love using a transparent glass to show off the crema - it looks like a mini pint of Guiness!

Clever4
These are rather plain glasses, however I chose this variety for two concerns, and have not been disapponted. First, the other bodum double wall products are rife with reviews from people who have broken their glasses. I felt that while the Pavina style was more aesthetically appealing, it also looked as though it might slip from a soapy hand more easily. While that is strictly fancy on my part, I can attest that the Canteen glasses can be handled without undue fear of butterfingers. Somewhere someone mentioned that they wouldn't put this type of glass in a dishwasher, and this is true. It is very light, and I expect it would get blown around like tupperware is wont to do.

The second reason I chose this style was that it was in a 3 oz. capacity, and I intended to use it for tea as well as espresso, and I just couldn't vizualize sipping tea out of a 2 oz. glass.

The insulative properties, while present, are probably not as significant as the hype would suggest. The exterior glass definitely stays cooler; you won't burn your fingers. The beverage temperature, however, does cool noticeably. I would guess these glasses to be about as effective as or slightly less than expanded polystyrene. Definitely nicer to look at than styrofoam glasses, but don't expect performance like an insulated thermos.

Overall, I was pleased enough that I purchased a couple sets of the larger glasses as well.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bodum Pavina 12-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Glasses (Cooler/Beer), Set of 2

Amazon.com Review
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 cooler/beer glasses serves generous helpings of cool ale or warm grog. 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 12-ounce, scratch-resistant set also 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.

Customer Reviews

excellent product, surprisingly sturdy
I purchased these after seeing them on the Bodum.com website. I admit the cool factor lured me in.

The cups maintain the temperature of a cappuccino for as long as it takes me to get to the bottom of the cup. Additionally it is nice not to need coasters (especially if you have men or children in the home).

The 9 oz cup is less than 4 inches tall, making it fit perfectly under the fill spout of my super-automatic Saeco espresso machine (which I also love).

My husband and I have had 4 of these cups for more than 6 months and not one of them has broken. I mention this because the 9 oz cups seem to be much more sturdy than the 21 oz Pavina ice tea glasses. We broke one of the 21 oz cups with the first ice cube that went into the cup. We broke 2 others in the first two weeks.

Bottom line, I cannot recommend the 21 oz Pavina. However, the 9 oz Pavina cups are very tough, having survived 6 months of daily use with less than dainty owners. I think you will be very pleased with your purchase of the 9 oz Pavina cups.

UPDATE: JULY 18, 2006
All 4 of the 9 ounce Pavina mugs are still intact even with frequent use. I continue to recommend this product.

Because a one that isn't cold is scarcely a one at all.
No picture can really do these glasses justice. They have nothing aesthetic in common with any other double-walled cup I've ever seen--elegant, minimalist, super clear and light as a feather. They really keep stuff cold (or hot, as the case may be). They're even dishwasher safe. However, they are remarkably fragile. I accidentally rapped a spoon on the lip of one and within half an hour, the little crack had spread and the glass was in fragments. But if you're careful with them and keep them away from kids, animals, and, apparently, me, they will serve you well.
