Amazon.com Review
At last, a glass that won't burn or freeze your hand. Two walls of clear glass with an air layer in-between not only keep drinks cold--or hot--but prevent condensation from forming on the outside. So, an ice-cold shot of vodka or a steamy espresso feels just right, no matter the temperature. And coasters won't be needed, either.

Winner of the prestigious European iF Design Award, the mouth-blown Pavina glass exhibits Bodum's flair for the modern. Each two-ounce glass curves beguilingly and fits the palm just right. Mouth-blown of borosilicate glass, which is quite a bit thinner yet much more durable than regular glass, the two Pavina glasses in this set are safe for both the microwave and dishwasher, resist temperature swings, and resist scratching and dulling. Care should be taken when placing ice cubes in an empty glass, and metal spoons for stirring are discouraged. --Ann Bieri

Editor's Note: Because each glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. You should also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

Customer Reviews

good for espresso
I use these for espresso coffee. They are adorable, keep the espresso hot & don't need a saucer.

Elegant and practical
These beautiful glasses helped me with my espresso habit. Espresso is brewed at low temperatures (circa 190 F) and the small amount involved makes preheating the cup mandatory, what is an unwelcome extra step. The thin inner glass wall of the Pavina takes practically no heat from the liquid making preheating unnecessary. Additionally, the double wall keeps the coffee warm for a good while. Excellent! But be careful, they are very fragile: even dropping a spoon in it could break the glass. I know, it happened to me.

Totally COOL!! I mean, hot!
Awesome nifty little glass for that piping hot espresso shot. how do they do it??? Be careful, the outside of the cup stays so cool you'll forget that inside is a hot cup of java. Very cool! I mean hot. I mean.... you know what i mean!! And for the price... oh so cheap.
