Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Mug, Set of 2
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.
Customer Review: Bueaatiful to look at, but too fragile to use.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two of these Bodum mugs because I was immediately struck by their beauty. They also seemed highly practcal and energy conserving. They were beautiful mugs, yet they would keep my coffee hot. It turns out that their beauty is only skin deep. They are *extremely* fragile, and we broke both of them within one month. They practically imploded. I wish they were as durable as they are attractive, but they are not. I would *not* recommend you buy these mugs. You will come to love them, and then you will accidently break them.Customer Review: great coffee cups but indeed a bit fragile
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm giving these cups a 4 star rating because of their fragility. Like the other two reviewers stated, they are indeed very fragile. I've had these two cups for a couple of months now and they're still intact but my wife and I have been babying these two glass mugs very gingerly. Indeed they can be easily broken. If you have young kids, do NOT buy these as they're bound to get broken easily.
If you're yuppies or DINKS who are very careful with your China and glassware and you want some coffee mugs which look very modern and unique, buy these. They definitely make your coffee visually very appealing. :)
Customer Review: Loved them, while they lasted!
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, these are great mugs, but they are just too fragile. They are stylish, light and keep your coffee warm for quite a while. They are also incredibly fragile, to the point they are basically disposable. The first pair I ordered were broken when I received them. The second set made it fine in shipping, but are too fragile to be used. After two weeks one of them broke while it was being hand washed. I wasn't even applying pressure, but none the less I heard a "ting!" and the interior had cracked into pieces. I have one remaining and it seems to have a hariline crack in the lip, so I know it's only a matter of days. I plan to enjoy it wile it lasts, but I won't be buying them again.
Bodum, if you are listening: You have a great product with a fatal flaw. If you can make the glass thick enough to stand up to use, I think these would be really popular.
Customer Review: impressive look , impractical to use
Summary: 2 Stars
i bought these mugs because i thought they were aesthetically pleasing as well as really a good idea. these statements are still both true, as i enjoyed using the glasses for the short time they lasted. unfortunately these glasses are extremely delicate. they are as delicate as expensive crystal. sadly, using these mugs to enjoy my morning coffee resulted in them lasting no more than a few days. all that it took to destroy a mug was the impact from a slight tilting onto the counter from a standing position on that same counter. the other mug shattered upon a light bump while being hand washed in the sink. it is a shame, because they are so beautiful and do really work as described. please bodum try again and make these a bit more robust?
