Product Description
Great for iced tea and other beverages / 13 Oounce Capacity / Clear, double-wall glass / Set of 2
Amazon.com Review
Combining modern materials and clever styling, Bodum's Assam drinkware brings a truly innovative look to the table. The walls of each vessel are actually two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended within. Highlighting the dramatic effect, the Assam shape features slightly concave sides that flare out as they reach the smooth, round rim. This set of two double wall cooler/beer glasses serves frosty ales or hot toddies with equal ease. Crafted from 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 13-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Assam with the Pavina and Canteen lines for 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.

 Very Cool (or Hot) Glasses May 3, 2008
Chez (Connecticut)
I originally bought these as a treat for myself because I really like my hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold. Both my teenagers pronounced them "sweet" and like using them so much that they will actually remove them from the dishwasher and wash them by hand if there isn't a clean one available. They do work well; your coffee/tea will stay nicely hot. And my son loves the fact that his milk stays cold to the last sip. No coasters necessary to prevent rings, either. They are very visually appealing, too. The only draw back might be that they are expensive and breakable, so you don't want to use them around small children or folks apt to drop things.
 Great product-almost... May 2, 2008
John K. Ceballos (Napa Valley,CA USA)
I purchased this product with much trepidation as to their sturdiness. From reading the other reviews I was sure that the glasses were too fragile for dishwashers and everyday usage. I still use and handle the glass very carefully, hand washing and being ever mindful as to how incredibly thin the "glass" walls are. They continue to hold up, but what a pain having to worry all of the time about shattering them. They've become more of a novelty item brought out for good beers than a glass you can use and then toss into the sink or dishwasher.
It"s easier (and much less classy) to use a stainless steel tumbler...
Great for hot chocolate March 19, 2008

I microwave hot chocolate in these glasses every morning. They are great for that. Only problem is that the bottom is narrow, so the glass gets filled & I have to use a taller tablespoon vs my usual teaspoon.
WOW- they actually work! February 24, 2008

YES- they actually work! They keep cold beer cold, and hot coffee hot! I am a tru believer now!!!
Fragile, but Wonderful February 22, 2008
kclaxdad (Kansas City, MO United States)
We really like the Bodum double-wall glasses and mugs for both cold and hot drinks. We now have several sets of al sizes and use them every day. Because the are so fragile (one in our last order was broken, but immediately replaced by Amazon), you must be careful handling them.
