| The Pavina highball glass is the winner of the European iF Design Award. The Pavina double wall glasses can be use the whole year round. You can use them for your cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter. They are made of a very strong but yet light weight glass (borosilicate glass). They can safely go in the dishwasher and microwave. No coaster needed.Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Some people may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to understand the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong. 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 dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it. Simply treat it as you would any glass product and it will stand up to every day use. Our insulated, double wall glass |

| I love these things just don't even consider them for a childs use. They are for adults only. Are they fragil? Yes but no different than good crystal and you wouldn't give that to a child either. My favorite thing is they don't sweat. No rings on your furniture in the summer and you can also put them in the microwave for a cup of tea and pick it right up. Can't feel heat or cold when you touch them. Just keep in mind.. be careful. |

| We have had no problem in the dishwasher, they still look brand new. We mainly use them for cold items and avoid all the sweating and need for coasters. We have truly enjoyed these glasses. |

I loved using these tumblers for the week they survived. Taking tea to my desk without burning my hand was a novelty. But both tumblers cracked after a little over a week of use. I told the company, and they said they would replace them, but I didn't bother when they told me that I shouldn't put the tumblers in the dishwasher. They also said to put ice in them after the beverage, rather than putting ice in first like I always do.
Bodum advertises all of their double-wall glasses as being made from medical grade glass that is used in science labs, and claims it's stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass. If the glass is so strong, why can't I clean it in the dishwasher or drop some ice cubes in it without it cracking in ten places?
Might want to think twice about these tumblers unless you want to handle your drinkware with kid fingers. |
