Bodum Assam Double Wall Tumbler/DOF Glass, Set of 2

These work nicely with coffee, hot tea or even wine. They wash well in the dishwasher but you need to be careful how they are placed because they break easier than other glasses. I have purchased several different types of the bodum double wall glassware and none of them have broken in the dishwasher. The ones I broke happened by being dropped or knocked over. This style is shorter and so less likely to break. I haven't broken any of these....yet. The groove fits nicely in your hand. This is probably the most versatile design of all that I've purchased.

Because of the design and with granite countertops, one must be careful. In spite of that I love to give this as a gift. They are beautiful glasses, very elegant and the liquid can be very hot and you won’t burn yourself because of the double wall. Great product and feels good in your hand.

I got a pair of these along with my new espresso machine. They are great. The double insulation works great, the outside never gets hot and drinks stay warm for a long time. I use these for everything now, coffee, espresso, tea, beer, wine. They are high quality, work great, and look awesome. The new coffee mug.

Many people focus on the looks of these shot glasses as a priority, and to each their own. Although I do like the looks of these glasses, I would prefer a straighter profile, but these are quite nice already. Unlike many of other users writing reviews, the backwards writing and such don't bother me, since I don't use these for serving. These sit on top of the machines to pull shots only and only hold the shots for no more than 30-45 seconds at a time. Shots go directly into a shaker or serving cup right away and into the sink for washing. Then repeat step one. I can attest to their durability. These usually go from machine to sink. Once they were in the sink while I was cleaning my portafilter. Everyone knows how solid portafilters are and as I was cleaning, I slammed the filter right into the glass. I gasped but the glass didn't even blink. They suffered no damage at all. They are still helping to pull wonderful shots. Size-wise however, make sure you measure your equipment. For personal use, I have a Gaggia Classic and an old Gaggia Espresso; practically the same machines. With the portafilter locked in the group head, these glasses fit perfectly under the Gaggia Classic with a few millimeters to spare. Under the Gaggia Espresso, the glasses need to be tipped about 30 degrees to slip under the spouts. I resorted to removing part of the catch tray to comfortably place and remove the glasses from the machine. I haven't measured these glasses to share any dimensions, but I'd rather be pulling and serving shots than measuring a glass. :)

These glasses are better than I ever expected. My espresso is cold before the outer glass ever becomes too hot to hold (though you might want to avoid holding it right beneath the rim), and that was my only concern before purchasing them. They're also surprisingly durable. One accidentally rolled off my counter just days after getting them and I remember thinking to myself as I watched it fall, "Wow I was stupid for getting these. 15 bucks down the drain: one down, one to go." It hit the ground, bounced an inch with a solid thunk, came back down and rolled to my toes perfectly fine. My only complaint(s) would be that it is laser etched with the manufacturer info etc. on the bottom, but I get that companies need to let people know who made the product in their hand. I never notice it, though, unless I'm holding it upside down while cleaning it. It also has a small rubbery dot on the bottom. It doesn't upset it's seat on the counter, but I don't know if it is supposed to cover the contact point of the glass during its manufacturing so I leave it on. I figure it can only offer more resistance to slipping again in the future, anyways.

These are amazing glasses for espresso. They look great and keep your drink insulated from your hands.

This is the third set of Assam glasses I have purchased. I bought the second set because we were using them so frequently that they were always in the dishwasher when we wanted them. I bought the third set because, after almost ten years of use, we finally broke one from the first set. [word of caution: these shatter fantastically when broken, so best to store them away from small children] These glasses are the perfect size for coffee. They are just a little too small for tea (I prefer Bodum's 12-ounce Pavina glasses for tea). We've also used them for milk and cookies, cocktails, even ice cream. They elevate whatever drink or food we put in them. I do think that the design has changed just a little bit over the years (the bottom of these glasses look different than the ones I bought almost a decade ago). But unless a guest is looking very closely, I don't think s/he would notice that the glasses didn't match.

Part of the description is incorrect. The capacity is 0.1l not 0.4l. Cannot rate the product since I haven't used it. The one star rating is to be ignored, a rating is required in order to submit a ''review'' so this is not a review of the product, but only to bring to your attention the incorrect description of the capacity.

Producto de calidad excelente aunque de elevado precio. Ideal para usar tanto con líquidos calientes como fríos. Una buena compra.

great quality at a reasonable price.

このタイプのグラスを何種類か集めて利用しているのですが、こちらのタイプは日本茶を飲む時に使用しています。お茶の色がよく見えて、保温もよく美味しいです。

les plus : - épaisseur surprenante, accueille de l'eau bouillante sans problème pour une tenue à pleine main. aucune hanse nécessaire. - le design est sympa les moins : - pour boire mon café j'aurai aimé une moins grosse épaisseur du verre au niveau de la bouche...ça fait un peu "jouet en plastique"...un peu de finesse que diable ! - la capacité n'est pas si importante qu'on le croit, par exemple, mes capsules tassimo "petit déjeuner" arrivent au ras du bord de la tasse devenue impossible à porter. Il faut que j'arrête la machine un peu avant du coup, rien de grave. Donc je ne pense pas que la capacité de cette tasse soit un standard, 1 petit centimètre de plus aurait suffit. - attention, surtout pas au lave-vaisselle...c'est inadapté. Heureusement ma femme contrôle mes bourdes...maintenant j'ai pris l'habitude de les laver à la main :D
