Product Description
Set of 2 Glass Espresso Cups / 3.5 Ounce Capacity each cup
Amazon.com Review
At last, a glass that won't burn or freeze your hand. Two walls of clear glass with an air layer in-between not only keep drinks cold--or hot--but prevent condensation from forming on the outside. So, an ice-cold shot of vodka or a steamy espresso feels just right, no matter the temperature. And coasters won't be needed, either. Winner of the prestigious European iF Design Award, the mouth-blown Pavina glass exhibits Bodum's flair for the modern. Each two-ounce glass curves beguilingly and fits the palm just right. Mouth-blown of borosilicate glass, which is quite a bit thinner yet much more durable than regular glass, the two Pavina glasses in this set are safe for both the microwave and dishwasher, resist temperature swings, and resist scratching and dulling. Care should be taken when placing ice cubes in an empty glass, and metal spoons for stirring are discouraged. --Ann Bieri Editor's Note: Because each glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. You should also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

 great for espresso January 28, 2006

These are awesome for espresso, though _one_ negative is that because they're so light, the vibrations from our pump-driven espresso machine make them shimmy around like those old football-player game tables: "VVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!"
So, I just hold them while the esprosso's pumping out. No sweat, and like I said, it's great espresso that's kept hot.
Remember that they have thin walls, so treat them very gently.
Gorgeous and stylish April 1, 2006

These are conversation makers and perfect for the cup of morning espresso. Light and excellent at keeping your espresso warm. Get 4!

These glasses demonstrate a high sense of style marked by simplicity. These glasses will work for most serving occasions. They are dishwasher safe and they keep my espresso warmer than if I used a regular demitasse! They are absolutely perfect. I got two orders, so I have a set of four. Note that the larger pavina glasses work great for cappuccinos or regular coffee.

I love these glasses. They work as advertised. My espresso's never tasted so good, now that they stay hot, longer. Additionally I havent burned my hand once since using these glasses.
As previous reviewer has mentioned, please be careful with these glasses if you attempt to wash these in the dish washer.
The glasses are so light, that jets of water coming from the dishwasher are likely to launch the glass out all over the place while the wash cycle is on.
All in all great purchase. Worth every penny. For espresso lovers a must!!!!!

It's been about a little over a month since I purchased a sizable quantity of these glass for home everyday use (assorted sizes, 24 count total), and two glasses have spontaneously cracked on us. Other than using them for everyday-use, we have been very careful with them - they've been washed with a soft sponge, we have a designated space in the cabinet to store them (not stacked), etc. These glasses are just not cut out for everyday use. We have been using the glasses to drink warm (hot chocolate) and cold drinks (iced beverage). Both broken glasses spontaneously cracked at the bottom while it was sitting on the desk holding a drink. At first, I thought someone had accidentally slammed it, but I actually witnessed the spontaneous cracking when the second glass broke.
I am very disappointed with the functionality of the product. I'm a sucker for good designs, but I expect a reasonable level of durability. These glasses have been incredibly sub standard - my cheap ikea glasses I bought for $5/dozen have fared better. Maybe these glasses are meant to be put away in some display case, only to be used for special occasions... but what's the point of buying glasses if you are not going to use them?
