 Sturdier and improved!Mar 29, 2008
By KNSudha
I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke
with someone else roughly loading it with a couple
of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just
love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and
didn't really know how I could do without so
I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I'd
read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile
these are and how precious to me etc...
Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and
sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside
while still holding up to having boiling water poured in
to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident
around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters
on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.
So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.
The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.

 impressive look , impractical to useSep 26, 2007
By Lyn Marantz
"functional art fan"
i bought these mugs because i thought they were aesthetically pleasing as well as really a good idea. these statements are still both true, as i enjoyed using the glasses for the short time they lasted. unfortunately these glasses are extremely delicate. they are as delicate as expensive crystal. sadly, using these mugs to enjoy my morning coffee resulted in them lasting no more than a few days. all that it took to destroy a mug was the impact from a slight tilting onto the counter from a standing position on that same counter. the other mug shattered upon a light bump while being hand washed in the sink. it is a shame, because they are so beautiful and do really work as described. please bodum try again and make these a bit more robust?

Beautiful and functionalApr 26, 2008
By AN
Yes, the glass is thin and you have to be careful with them, but I haven't broken any yet, and I use them pretty often. I've used them for hot and cold beverages and they're great for ice cream too. They've been both hand-washed and through the dishwasher - no problems so far. I'll probably get more.

 Loved them, while they lasted!Dec 01, 2007
By Ethan Nagel
Yes, these are great mugs, but they are just too fragile. They are stylish, light and keep your coffee warm for quite a while. They are also incredibly fragile, to the point they are basically disposable. The first pair I ordered were broken when I received them. The second set made it fine in shipping, but are too fragile to be used. After two weeks one of them broke while it was being hand washed. I wasn't even applying pressure, but none the less I heard a "ting!" and the interior had cracked into pieces. I have one remaining and it seems to have a hariline crack in the lip, so I know it's only a matter of days. I plan to enjoy it wile it lasts, but I won't be buying them again.
Bodum, if you are listening: You have a great product with a fatal flaw. If you can make the glass thick enough to stand up to use, I think these would be really popular.

 great coffee cups but indeed a bit fragileDec 07, 2007
By Lance
I'm giving these cups a 4 star rating because of their fragility. Like the other two reviewers stated, they are indeed very fragile. I've had these two cups for a couple of months now and they're still intact but my wife and I have been babying these two glass mugs very gingerly. Indeed they can be easily broken. If you have young kids, do NOT buy these as they're bound to get broken easily.
If you're yuppies or DINKS who are very careful with your China and glassware and you want some coffee mugs which look very modern and unique, buy these. They definitely make your coffee visually very appealing. :)
