 Simply the best. March 11, 2007

A little pricy - but well worth it!
Keeps cold liquids - cold, and hot - hot.
It's always surprizing when I pick up the glass and it feels room temp but the drink inside is ice cold. No condensation, ever. I clean these in the dishwasher (being careful to keep them separated so they don't bang against each other) and haven't had any problems.
Drinks always look interesting suspended in the air. I've got 20 of them in various sizes. This is the only glassware I'll ever want.
 Two star delivery, five star function. Great glasses, but.... July 11, 2006

...the concerns about shipping and breakage are true. I've ordered two dozen Bodum glasses of this type through Amazon and have had 4 of them arrive either broken or defective (the defect is typically the hole in the bottom arrives unsealed, which allows water to enter between the layers of glass when they are washed) Amazon replaced them no problem, though I had no breakage/defects in shipping the replacements. They function superbly- there's no condensation and they insulate well for hot and cold beverages, but beware with hot drinks- there's almost no tactile feedback through holding the glass to indicate the temperature of the contained liquid. Also, I experimented with a defective glass and discovered they are not as fragile during use as some have suggested- I believe they are stronger than regular single walled glasses. I wash mine in the dishwasher without incident. I highly recommend them if you're willing to tolerate the possibility (or should I say probability?) of having to return broken glasses for replacement.

These glasses are very attractive, insulate beverages well, and I really like handling them. Unfortunately, they break often in shipping and are very easy to break by dropping an ice cube in from the top of the glass. I shudder to think what an ice machine would do to them. Definitely not for use by children!!!

While I love the idea of insulated glassware, these may be the most fragile glasses I have ever owned. Both broke in less than a week.
Try the Tropix or Tervis instead.
Drink With All Your Senses! The Functionally Perfect Glass. February 21, 2008

The Bodum Pavina glasses are beautiful. Each one is mouth-blown to form a clear one-piece glass chamber that holds your drink. Since it's clear, your drink appears to be floating in the glass. Cool point #1.
Cool point #2 especially for those of you living in hot places: It doesn't sweat. You know what I mean here? When you put really cold liquid in a glass and condensation runs down the outside and collects in a puddle at the bottom of the glass. That looks attractive on a Coke or Beer commercial, but not great for your desk or nice table!
Cool point #3: You can put hot drinks in the Bodum Pavina and the glass doesn't get hot. Because of the double-wall construction there's an insulated layer of air between the glass you touch and the glass that holds your coffee. Like a plastic thermal mug it stays warm a long time (also cold when you pour in something cold), but it's oh so beautiful.
Now to address some user complaints. Users have universally complemented the design and "cool" factor of the glasses, but some complained about them breaking. I've been using my other set of Bodum Pavina glasses all day, everyday for nearly two years. I finally broke one in May 2007, after 14 months. I start with cold water in the morning, followed by hot coffee. More water later. Some ice coffee or a Coke in the afternoon. All fine. It's thin, but tough glass. However, you've got to be sensible: just because the company says it CAN be washed in the dishwasher, doesn't mean you should. Throwing rock-hard ice into a glass and then stirring briskly with a tablespoon just isn't smart! How tough are these glasses? From readers' comments not as tough as a regular heavy drinking glass but with a little caution they are plenty strong enough.
The Bodum Pavina are the functionally perfect drinking glass that so beautifully shows off your drink. Now you can drink with all your senses!
