Amazon.com Product Description
Bring a unique and trend-forward look to the table with this set of four 10-ounce coffee/latte glasses. Crafted of lead-free glass, the vessels provide exceptionally durable, temperature-safe use that holds both hot and cold drinks at their optimal temperature for longer. The walls of each glass sport two layers of clear glass, creating a dramatic optical illusion of liquid suspended within. The two-layer design also resists heat and prevents condensation, leaving them comfortable to hold and safe for placement on any tabletop or counter. Even more, the handsome glasses feature a smooth, slightly flared design with a generously sized handle--perfect for sipping hot cider or tea in the winter, cold drinks in the summer, and everyday favorites in between. Safe for use in the dishwasher, the 10-ounce coffee/latte glasses measure approximately 3-1/2 by 5 by 4 inches each.

Customer Reviews

Not really impressed with them.
The product dimension is listed completely wrong. The glass is about 4 1/2 inches tall, bottom is about 2 1/2 inches wide and mouth is about 3 1/4 inches wide. It is taller and slimmer than pictured. I guess because it is so light it felt a little like a clear acrylic cup instead of glass. If you use this for a 2 cup coffee from a senseo machine, you coffee will overflow because it is smaller inside. Overall, I was expecting a more elegant looking glass than it actually is. They are not worth the price listed. But since I got such a great deal buying 4 sets for the price of 1 set, I'm going to keep them.

Don't buy this set if you want high quality latte glasses
This is my first time I have the motivation to write down product review since this product is totally disappointed and made by very poor quality. The first one is that the shape is terrible, not as described as the website pictures. When I saw these at first glance, I almost thought Amazon mails the wrong item. The second one is that these glass are pretty fragile so once you use hot water to clean these cups, they are broken easily. If you want to get high quality and stylish latte glasses, I will strong recommend Bodum. Do waste money on this set unless you can get over 80% discount.

Not pretty but Functional
Cons:
1. These are not pretty (at least to me). There is too much empty space along the base between the 2 glass walls. It looks weird. But I dont care, since I am more concerned about the functional aspects and the price.

Pros:
1. They dont break when using hot water (170F) or cold water. Some of the other reviewer comments had me really worried.
2a. They do what they say.. hot drink dont feel hot, yet stay hot for longer.
2b. Cold drinks dont mist up the outside glass wall and stay colder for longer.
3. Very light. I hate heavy stuff, that why I'm a Corelle fan.

Facts:
1. If you drop them.. they will break. They are fragile!!
With great features comes great responsibility, so please be very careful.
2. They hold 10ounces of fluid which is as much liquid as a regular mug.
