Bodum 5oz Bistro Double Wall Espresso Mug, High-Heat Borosilicate Glass, Set of 2, Clear

Incredible Latte Cups!
I originally had purchased some cheap latte stoneware cups at Target thinking that a cup is just a cup and it didn’t really matter much. Boy… was I wrong! After spending significant time making cafe lattes in the morning, I kept noticing that my lattes would get cold very quickly. It was incredibly frustrating. I soon realized my cheap Target cups were just radiating heat. You could feel all the heat loss on the outside of the cup. So, I did some research online and saw that these Bodum cups were highly rated by many users. And although they were significantly more expensive than my cheap cups, I gave them a try. All I can say is… Wow! These are a total game changer! Night and day. My lattes stay hot for an incredibly long time. Even when I’m close to finishing the drink, with very little coffee at the bottom of the cup, it’s still hot. And the telltale sign is that you don’t feel heat radiation on the outside of these cups. The double wall keeps the liquid hot for a very long time.The manufacturing quality of these cups is very good. They are made from borosilicate glass which is much more durable glass. It is the same glass used in medical grade flasks and beakers. Apparently even Pyrex used to make their measuring cups out of this more durable glass until they decided to cut costs and go with a cheaper glass (borosilicate glass is more expensive). But, these cups are definitely worth the extra cost!… In this case you get what you pay for.However, as with any glass cup, I’m sure they can break if you get too rough with them or put them in the dishwasher next to/touching other glasses. For that reason I always hand wash mine. Also, Bodum recommends that you don’t use metal spoons with them (prevents them from cracking/breaking). So, I picked up a box of plastic spoons at Costco to use with them. You can also find small wooden spoons on Amazon that I’m sure would work well too. Again, these are after all made of glass (even if it is a much stronger glass) and glass can break. But as long as you don’t get too rough with them and don’t stack them on other dishes in the dishwasher, they should last a very long time. Excellent cups!!

Well made
I have had these mugs for over a year. After receiving I put them in the dishwasher. They held up fine. From that point I wash them by hand. The handle and lip are comfortable. I did break one, totally my fault. I use them everyday. They do keep my beverages hotter. I have not put them in the microwave, nor do I plan to. Great mugs!

The best double wall mug — but inspection required
For years I’ve used a set of the smaller sizes of the Bodum Bistro line to use for espresso and love them for their lightness, cool factor, and insulating effect, keeping my coffee hotter longer than a single wall cup. With working from home now I drink more coffee here and my regular 8oz mugs just didn’t cut it, having to get up for another cup or being too busy to go without. Bistro 14oz mug to the rescue.These mugs are no shrinking violets. They have presence. If you have small hands using the the handle alon will be awkward when the mug is full. You’ll want to two hand it for sure. As you drink down, back to the handle-only. Like the other Bistro line glasses these are light for their size. And insulate well. I estimate my coffee stays warmer for at least 10-15 min longer than a single wall mug. While they look fragile they feel sturdy, just like my smaller ones.A word of caution though. I don’t know if the mugs I recieved were just a bad batch, or the 14oz is harder to make, or what, but 2 of the 4 I ordered came scuffed or scratched on the outside. Amazon exchanged them but then the replacements were defective too. One had a long scratch inside the double wall (I could see it but not feel it). The other mug had air bubbles in the lip. Thankfully, 3rd time was a charm and that set was perfect. I was a bit shocked at the poor quality control on these since Bodum is a premium brand, and these are mouth-blown. But happy it worked out.Even with these troubles I have no regrets sticking with the Bodum brand. I know I’ll enjoy these for years. They are a great “have” for any coffee fan — though they are great for any kind of hot drink.

Superb mugs!
Beautiful, well-made mugs. Have washed many times in the dishwasher and by hand. No leakage through silicone seal on the bottom that lets air, but not water, in to equalize the pressure between the two layers of glass. Keeps drinks cold or hot at least 3x times longer. Very attractive. Of course, they are more fragile than some mugs because they are glass. That being said, I’ve accidentally hit them against the side of a metal sink and no breakage resulted. Very pleased!

Looks gorgeous, filled or emptied. Feels secure in hand and easy to hold which is important. Easy on the lips. Love the video where Jessara says “…nice handle, for you traditionalists who need to keep a grip on your coffee.”, then smiles. Completely swayed us upon assessing these, and we completely love them now!

Love these glass cups for my jasmine tea, a pleasure to look at end to drink out of
