Product Description
Bodum Pavina glasses provide superb insulation for both hot and cold drinks due to their unique double-wall feature. Air trapped between the two walls allow you to hold onto a piping hot glass of espresso without burning your fingers, or prevent condensation from forming on the outer wall while holding a cold beverage. Made of strong yet lightweight borosilicate glass, these glasses can safely go in the diswasher and microwave.
Amazon.com Review
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 wall thermo-glasses keeps any beverage from icy lemonade to hot cocoa at an ideal temperature. Crafted of borosilicate glass, which is also used to make scientific lab equipment, the 15-ounce pair is also exceptionally strong, lightweight, and durable. The two-layer construction resists heat and prevents condensation, so the outside remains comfortable to hold and safe for any tabletop. Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award, this scratch-resistant set 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.

 doubled walled trouble November 9, 2006

While the design is beautiful and sufficiently insulated, the glass walled structure is too weak to withstand normal use. Even when I avoided placing ice cubes, spoons, etc. in the glass, my Bodum Double Wall glasses lasted only a week. I don't recall ever having a problem with other Bodum products, so I am concluding from this experience that this is a very flawed glassware design from this company. In terms of quality control, one of the glasses actually had a pin hole leak at the base of the glass which caused water to seep between the walls. In a cautionary note, you need to return this item if you find any small holes in the glass, because the water trapped between the walls of glass will eventually cause the glass to explode.

These glasses are a prime example of design over function (and a woeful example of the state of quality control these days).
They are elegant but one of mine broke the first time I dropped an ice cube into it. Who wants a glass that can't withstand an ice cube?
If you must own one I recommend using it only for hot drinks, for which they are ideal, but then you still must be careful while washing it, while putting it away, while taking it out, while setting it down, etc.
In my opinion they are simply too fragile for use, and too expensive to be considered disposable.
beautiful glass but seriously high maintenance January 24, 2007

We purchased 4 glasses at Christmas. They keep liquids cold and hot. They are nice to look at, and we still have one left a month later that isn't chipped or cracked. After the first glass cracked we made insane efforts to be as delicate as possible with the remaining 3. I would wash them carefully by hand making sure not to bang them into anything and let them air dry. The next time we would go to use the glass it would have a crack in it. We are still scratching are heads as to why the cracks happened and what we could have possibly done differently to prevent it. These are just way too fragile, and that is just about over $70 straight to the recycling bin.
 Aesthetically pleasing and great to use. September 16, 2005

I have been searching for the right coffee mug/glass for a few years and these are everything I wanted. They keep 16oz. of coffee hot for 20min. or so, which is just long enough for me. They don't have a handle to cramp my hands and they stay cool enough to keep a good grip on them. They are easy to hold and the rim feels good on the lips. The glass is only about as thick as a nice wine glass so I hope they are as durable as they are supposed to be. The first set I ordered wasn't packaged properly and arrived broken. That's the only negative I can see, but the replacements were shipped out very quickly and were packaged much better.
Manufacturing Defects March 26, 2006

Great design -- when they work, that is. These glasses have an evacuated chamber, like a thermos. When they manufacture them, they suck out all the air through a small hole in the bottom. Then the're supposed to seal the hole. Problem is, the hole doesn't stay sealed, and when you wash them -- by machine or by hand -- water seeps into the chamber. Looks like hell. Total pain in the a**. We registered for these, and our failure rate was one in four. Which is total nonsense.
So, I'd say don't buy them until they get their act together, manufacturing-wise. Who cares if it's great design, but rotten execution?
