Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Pavina 8.5-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Tumber/DOF Glass, Set of 2
Customer Review: Just My Cup of Tea
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually, I should say "my cup of coffee," because that's what I pourinto these luminescent, doubled walls cups, but that expression has not found its way into the lexicon. Besides, these glasses/cups don't have the "coffee feeling" of the Bodum mugs (for example, the Bodum latte cups) which also feature a handle.
BREAKAGE--Not Yet a Problem.
However, because of numerous (and vociferous) complaints about how easily Bodum coffee glasses break, I chose these. My housemate here (i.e., spouse) has used these for well over a year, with nary a crack or unsightly buildup through the tiny hole at the bottom of these blown-glass Bodums. (HInt: Dry them after washing, and you should probably avoid the following: Dropping ice into them, using a metal spoon, washing in the dishwasher. Bodum makes all or most of these suggestions in a tiny pamphlet inside the box.) You may also wish to purchase these locally (sorry Amazon), rather than having them shipped. Then again, it may be that the 9-ounce Pavinas have a stronger, more fracture-resistant design than other Bodums. My spouse also reports that these glasses have been microwaved safely. (I've only had mine a few days, so have been unable to verify this independently, but I trust her.)
INSULATION. This is where Bodum meets and beats expectations. Hot coffee and tea don't lose their heat when they hit the glass, and they maintain their heat exceptionally well. There's just no comparison to ceramic-ware. You'll be very pleasantly surprised by the superior insulation of both hot and cold drinks. Bodum recommends heating the glass with hot water for optimal performance, but sometimes I don't want to go to the trouble, and it doesn't seem necessary.
APPEARANCE AND PRACTICALITY. The glass hss a beautiful, almost crystal like look, is lightweight without feeling like it's about to fly out of your hand, rests evenly on flat surfaces, and handwashes easily. The double glass wall impart that nifty look of suspended liquid.
There's no handle--that may be a downside to some. The curved, untextured exterior may increase the liklihood of dropping and slippage, but perhaps not ore than any other curved glass or cup. Other than that, it fits well in the hand. The Pavina only holds 9 ounces, so those wanting long, satisfying gulps of coffee may prefer the larger coffee cups (with the disadvantages noted below). The somewhat smaller size makes storage more convenient.
SUMMARY. While individual experiences will differ, I hope these comments and suggestions will balance out some of the negative reviews. These are simply the most convenient, safest (compared to coffee hot plates), and perhaps prettiest vessels for maintaining temperature. They also seem a better value than some of the other Bodum glassware. I'm enjoying my coffee much more now (one cup is at home, one at work), actually drink less of it (because I don't keep pouring "warm-ups"), and enjoy the looks and convenience. I toast these particular cups with a hearty and hot "Bodum's up!" (Bad puns should not temper your evaluation of the product).
Description of Bodum Pavina 8.5-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Tumber/DOF Glass, Set of 2
The Bodum 8.5 ounce Pavina double wall glass 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, or cafe and they 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.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 old fashioned/tumbler glasses serves anything from minty mojitos to hot cocoa. 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 9-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.
