Bodum Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The glasses are beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold. There is no problem with condensation, even in the humid southern heat.

Complaints about their fragility are a bit confusing. I would never dream of dropping ice cubes directly into nice crystal, and I would not drop ice cubes directly into these glasses either; they are not Wal-Mart tumblers, and should not be treated as such. That said, mine regularly go through the normal cycle in the dishwasher with no problems. I purchased them (8 in all) several months ago, have not lost even one due to breakage, and take great pleasure in using them.

Other people who have reviewed Bodum glassware elsewhere in Amazon have complained that ice cubes cause these glasses to break. These double-wall glasses are made of borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to sudden changes in temperature. But the glass walls are as thin as a lightbulb maybe even thinner so they must be treated with a LOT of care. Dropping ice cubes into an empty Bodum glass from any height at all will give you the same result as dropping a rock into it. My guess is that the breakage suffered by other users is probably due to manufacturing defects when the two layers of hand-blown glass are being annealed together.

I ordered mine through Sur la Table, and they arrived VERY well protected. I find that hot beverages don't stay hot any longer in these double-wall glasses than in any other glass or mug, so I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. But these glasses DO have a unique appearance and makes the liquid inside look like it's floating in mid-air. The walls are so thin that when I first unwrapped them I thought they were made of Lexan polycarbonate or some other nonglass material because they don't feel or sound like glass.

I read all the reviews and had to put my two cents in. These glasses are quite sturdy, don't feel like a Christmas ornament like someone said, and are very beautiful. They are somewhat costly and need to be handled with care, so I wouldn't recommend dropping ice in them while dry. However, if the inner glass broke you would definitely notice. All you would need to do is look at the tumbler to see that the inner glass is broken and the liquid has spilled into the outer glass. There is no way you would be in danger of swallowing glass. I give them four stars only because I did notice a very slight condensation when the glass was full of icy liquid, and for 10 dollars a piece I don't think there should be any.

Honest reviews on Bodum Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2

I had read all the warnings about dropping ice cubes into these

glasses prior to purchase. I still purchased and made sure not to use any ice or place anything solid inside. After the third

day the score is one down one to go. Despite extraordinary caution I still notice the inner glass lining broken. There was very little liklyhood of ingesting the glass , but at 10 buck apiece you expect to use them more than twice.

The double wall keeps cold drinks coller and hot drinks hot longer. They look great, are confortable to hold and have been reasonable priced . . . at least up to now when the dramatic increase in their popularity has driven the prices up and made it difficult to find them in stock.
