Customer Review: Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Mug
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Coffee Glasses! I had read previous reviews that they were thin and it is not the case at all. They are glass and you have to take that into consideration but they are very high quality, sturdy and they do not sweat or get hot because of the double-walled glass insulation. I love to see the coffee through the glass!Customer Review: not durable

Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a glass that would not heat up in the microwave when I warm up coffee. I was a bit worried when I read the other reviews here, but I have found these glasses to be excellent. I put them in the dishwasher and have banged them a few times and they did not break. And they are double insulated so that coffee stays nice and hot. And, its fun to be able to see the liquid you are drinking. I find myself using only these cups for anything hot (or cold in the summmer) I am ordering some for my parents. Give them a try!Customer Review: Too Fragile
Summary: 2 Stars
I have never given a negative review until this one. These are beautiful, blown glass mugs which are quite light. They hold the heat very well and a Latt? (made with a highly recommended La Pavoni Europicola espresso machine La Pavoni EPC-8 Europiccola 8-Cup Lever Style Espresso Machine, Chrome) presents beautifully. They are, however, much too fragile for daily use. We got a set of two for Christmas and one was broken by New Years Eve. It is NOT RECOMMENDED if you have children or pets as the slightest ding will make them trash bin bound. If you are extremely careful, they are fantastic.
It is now mid January and the second mug is broken despite extreme care. Just a slight tink and the cup imploded. It appears that the vacuum the mug creates when it is cooled after manufacture puts too much stress on the glass. It is such a pity, because they really are beautiful and wonderful. I purchased a pair of replacements, but at the cost of replacement, they will be the last.
How about you five star people, do you still have all of yours?
Customer Review: Great Mugs
Summary: 5 Stars
This 10oz (Bistro) mug is lovely and fits perfectly in my Tassimo latte machine. The double glass walls have some interesting features. I love that there is no condensation on the glass, so I do not need a coaster. I do like the weight, they are very light. The glass is made from Borosilicate which is scratch resistant and washes beautifully in the dishwasher.
I have no idea why other reviewers complained about breakage. Mine arrived perfectly, although very aggressively packed in a box with multiple layers of bubble wrap secured with thick packing tape.
