Editorial Review

With futuristic looks and high-tech construction, Bodum's Pavina drinkware makes an exciting departure from traditional glassmaking. The walls of each vessel are crafted from two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended inside. Softening the look, Pavina's shapes feature smooth, rounded silhouettes. The inner wall also curves slightly away from the outer wall for a touch of understated elegance.

This set of two double wall cooler/beer glasses serves generous helpings of cool ale or warm grog. Crafted of 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 12-ounce, scratch-resistant set also goes into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Pavina with the Assam and Canteen lines to stock the bar or dining table with 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.

I love these things just don't even consider them for a childs use. They are for adults only. Are they fragil? Yes but no different than good crystal and you wouldn't give that to a child either. My favorite thing is they don't sweat. No rings on your furniture in the summer and you can also put them in the microwave for a cup of tea and pick it right up. Can't feel heat or cold when you touch them. Just keep in mind.. be careful.

We have had no problem in the dishwasher, they still look brand new. We mainly use them for cold items and avoid all the sweating and need for coasters. We have truly enjoyed these glasses.

I loved using these tumblers for the week they survived. Taking tea to my desk without burning my hand was a novelty. But both tumblers cracked after a little over a week of use. I told the company, and they said they would replace them, but I didn't bother when they told me that I shouldn't put the tumblers in the dishwasher. They also said to put ice in them after the beverage, rather than putting ice in first like I always do.

Bodum advertises all of their double-wall glasses as being made from medical grade glass that is used in science labs, and claims it's stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass. If the glass is so strong, why can't I clean it in the dishwasher or drop some ice cubes in it without it cracking in ten places?

Might want to think twice about these tumblers unless you want to handle your drinkware with kid fingers.
