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.

Rating: - These are great for adults.
I really like these glasses and I'm ordering 2-at-a-time until I have a set of 12. These are great birthday and Christmas gift suggestions when family asks what I would like to have.
Granted, I do take very good care of the things that I own. I troubles me greatly to break something that I have purchased. Admittedly, I have not dropped ice cubes into these glasses, but I have scooped ice into them, gently; however, I did knock one into the sink from the counter-top and I held my breath.... it didn't break. *whew*
Buy them, enjoy them. They'll last you a long time ... Read More
Rating: - Bodum Pavina 15 oz double wall thermo
The item was received in good condition; however one of the glasses
broke at the base of the thermo wall and liquid leaked into the bottom.
Rating: - No more rings!
These glasses are wonderful for keeping drinks cold and there is no condensation problem, so no need for coasters. You need to be careful, because they are a bit fragile. I didn't give them 5 stars only because I've had problems with some of the ones I've ordered being defective, specifically, the bottoms of a couple of them were not flat. Also, they come with a white logo on the bottom which shows through the glass, but fortunately, it eventually washes off in the dishwasher.
Rating: - Best cups to drink coffee in!
Never used Amazon before. Very quick, got exactly what I wanted for less$ These glasses are the greatest. I never use coffee cups any more.
Rating: - Great!
I was a little uncertain about purchasing these glasses after reading negative reviews about their fragility - but I have to say our set of four has not given us any indication of cracking or failure. We do wash them by hand more than in the dishwasher, but that is more because of our fondness of using them than for their supposed fragile nature. I'd encourage anyone to buy these - they are beautiful and functional and much better than drinking from their plastic counterparts.
