Product Description
Great for iced tea and other beverages / 13 Oounce Capacity / Clear, double-wall glass / Set of 2
Amazon.com Review
Combining modern materials and clever styling, Bodum's Assam drinkware brings a truly innovative look to the table. The walls of each vessel are actually two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended within. Highlighting the dramatic effect, the Assam shape features slightly concave sides that flare out as they reach the smooth, round rim. This set of two double wall cooler/beer glasses serves frosty ales or hot toddies with equal ease. Crafted from 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 13-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Assam with the Pavina and Canteen lines for 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.

 Amazing Morning Coffee October 21, 2008

Luxury and delicious. Every morning a perfect and hot latte in a glass that feels and looks beautiful. I heat the milk in the microwave and pour the espresso over all. I have been doing so for many months now--with one loss as someone tried leaving one on the porch for a day or so. Otherwise, a little care and no worries. It is well worth the effort!

We love these glasses. They really keep beverages cooler. The seller delivered them when promised. In all, it was a great transaction.
These are amazing. September 29, 2008

I've been using these for a few months as a beer glass. Pretty much all I can say is that these are fantastic.
They keep my beer cold for a much longer period of time than a regular glass and not to mention they look pretty cool too. I've had family and friends over and they've all gotten a kick out of the glasses and a few of them have bought a set for themselves.
As for the fragility of the glasses. I have 6 of them and I haven't had one of them crack or leak or anything. After reading all of the reviews on them I've been very careful with them but I do put them in the dishwasher and they've all come out fine every time. Looking at the make of the glass I can see where it might be more fragile than other glasses but I haven't had a problem.

Other than the fact that it is necessary to take care that you're gentle with these glasses, they are an excellent buy. I've yet to try them with a hot drink, but my beer stays icy cold much longer than in the bottle.
Excellent glasses, but not the ones shown September 2, 2008

I've enjoyed using these all-purposes glasses for tasks ranging from very hot (scalding coffee wont affect the outside surface temp at all) to very cold (they're great for ice cream, for example). Also the Assam design is a lot more elegant than their other lines. Unfortunatly, they break very easily; my roommate and I have gone through about 8 breaks in the past year, so keep that in mind.
More significant, the picture shown for this item is NOT the actual glasses; the real glasses are significantly taller than the ones shown here. I bought these thinking that they would be similar in height to the Bodum Pavina Beer glasses (another one of their lines) and in fact they are half again as tall. The pictures show the inflection point of the curve to be about a third of the way down; in reality they are about a fifth (the point of that is only to say that its not an image scaling issue, but that the glasses in the picture are incorrect)
Despite that, I've been very happy with them, so no complaints here (although I spent another $20 to buy the ones I thought I was getting!)
