Product Description
Winner of the European iF Design Award, the Canteen double wall glasses can be use the whole year round. You can use them for your cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter. They are made of a very strong but yet light weight glass (borosilicate glass). They can safely go in the dishwasher and microwave. No coaster needed. Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Some people may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to understand the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong. Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching. Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it. Simply treat it as you would any glass product and it will stand up to every day use. Dishwasher & microwave safe.Bodum insulated, double wall glass i
Amazon.com Review
Drawing on modern technology and innovative design, Bodum's Canteen collection puts a new twist on everyday drinkware. The walls of each vessel are hand blown with two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended inside. Cut in slightly tapered, clean lines, they have an almost futuristic appeal that emphasizes the relationship of form and function. This set of two double wall cooler/beer glasses serves anything from chilled lagers to hot cider. 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 7-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Canteen with the Pavina and Assam 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.

Summary: Mine don't have holes in bottom 2008-10-04
Comment: My wife and I have been using various Bodum glasses for a couple of years. We've been using the "Canteen" 13oz glasses predominantly for hot beverages - daily. More rarely, we do use one for cold beer. Personally, I love drinking hot tea and coffee out of these glasses because it adds an extra sensory delight to the experience, namely, a visual enjoyment of the beverage through the clear glass. And yes, they are microwave and dishwasher safe. But, as far as washing these glasses go, I have to point out that there's NOT SUPPOSED to be a (open) hole in the bottom outer wall of the glass. One can see that there WAS a hole during the manufacturing of the product, but it's SUPPOSED to be SEALED - like mine have always been.
These glasses are basically made out of the same kind of glass used for laboratory test tubes. They don't expand or contract much from exposure to heat or cold and they ARE quite tough. However, they ARE glass, eh? My wife broke one about a year ago, and I broke another when the ceramic lid of a new teapot I was trying out fell out onto the glass as I was pouring tea. Well, that was a defect in the design of the teapot, and I stopped using that crappy teapot right away. Also, I ordered 8 Bodum glasses suitable for wine, and 2 of the 8 arrived broken! (But amazon did credit me.) It's because of this slight "nuisance" problem that I only gave them 4 stars. I still think they are worth it and am planning to order a couple more Canteen glasses today (as "spares" for if/when we break the ones we use everyday). But, again, if yours have an open hole in the bottom - they are defective and should be returned. Mine never have had.

Summary: 27 days after receiving the order one glass is in the garbage 2008-09-23
Comment: Yikes. I had no idea these glasses wouldn't even last one month before chips and cracks began to appear. I've already had to throw one glass away. They work for the purpose I bought them for: to keep my drink ice cold. Unfortunately it appears these glasses are not built for every day use/ all day use. If you want a nice glass to use for only certain occasions this glass will work well. If you want a glass to use every day and all day long, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Summary: great glasses 2008-06-11
Comment: I have owned 2 sizes (12 glasses total) for a year and a half and my first break was 2 days ago through my own inattention. I wasn't looking and hit the side of the stainless steel sink. If I had been paying attention this never would have happened. I wash them usually in the dishwasher but also by hand. I've NEVER had water get in between the 2 layers.
The glasses look good, dress up "every day" uses and I definitely will keep them among my glasses.

Summary: Love them! 2008-02-28
Comment: These are great glasses for hot or cold and we love that you don't need a coaster. No fifth star because they are very breakable and some glasses have a tiny hole from the glass blowing which can allow liquid in, impossible to get out. Hand wash and be gentle when using ice cubes!

Summary: The Perfect Glass For Those of Us Who Want Our Drinks to Stay COLD! 2008-01-13
Comment: I like a cold drink. I also like drinks with ICE. You will be amazed at how long ice will last in these glassed before melting. So not only will these glasses keep drinks cold (without ice) like for beer but they seem to last forever for drinks (with ice) - like for soda or water. There is also zero condensation so no need for coasters to protect you tables (this alone can make these worth it). The outside of the glass remains dry and your hands remain dry so the glass remains clean.
They are expensive and they are extremely FRAGILE (like other reviewers have said) and they will break. But if you are like me, it's a trade-off you are willing to live with.
