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. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in traditional glassware. The boron oxide acts as a glue holding the silicate together and due to the small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger glass. Some customers may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to explain 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. | | | Features: | |

 fantastic!Nov 10, 2006
By R. Leslie
I was in NYC earlier this year on business, and I was served an espresso in one of these glasses. It stayed hot for at least 5 times longer than a normal glass and I immediately bought 4 when I returned home. I use these every day; they are utilitarian and beautiful - perfect design in other words.

Make it a double-shot, pleaseOct 24, 2008
By Michael Lee
These are great little glasses for espresso. They are about 3 oz., so I use them when pulling double shots. The extra ounce allows some room for drips or for pulling the double long. No heat comes through to the outer surface of the glass so you don't burn your fingers and the shot stays hot longer. I love using a transparent glass to show off the crema - it looks like a mini pint of Guiness!

 Nice design, misleading sizeApr 22, 2009
By N. Haw
I own some of the larger Bodum glasses and have been pleased with all of them. However, these glasses are far too big to be practically used as espresso shot glasses. The review claims they are 3oz glasses, though they can actually fit 4.5 oz to the brim. A double-shot of espresso takes up less than half of the available volume. The outside of the glass itself is significantly more than twice the size of any other actual 3oz shot glass. The glass filled with espresso as shown on the box must be roughly 4oz of liquid.
They are nicely designed and nothing is physically wrong with the glasses as long as your are gentle. They are perfect for espresso macchiato.

CleverJan 31, 2007
By Juan Endiez
These are rather plain glasses, however I chose this variety for two concerns, and have not been disapponted. First, the other bodum double wall products are rife with reviews from people who have broken their glasses. I felt that while the Pavina style was more aesthetically appealing, it also looked as though it might slip from a soapy hand more easily. While that is strictly fancy on my part, I can attest that the Canteen glasses can be handled without undue fear of butterfingers. Somewhere someone mentioned that they wouldn't put this type of glass in a dishwasher, and this is true. It is very light, and I expect it would get blown around like tupperware is wont to do.
The second reason I chose this style was that it was in a 3 oz. capacity, and I intended to use it for tea as well as espresso, and I just couldn't vizualize sipping tea out of a 2 oz. glass.
The insulative properties, while present, are probably not as significant as the hype would suggest. The exterior glass definitely stays cooler; you won't burn your fingers. The beverage temperature, however, does cool noticeably. I would guess these glasses to be about as effective as or slightly less than expanded polystyrene. Definitely nicer to look at than styrofoam glasses, but don't expect performance like an insulated thermos.
Overall, I was pleased enough that I purchased a couple sets of the larger glasses as well.

The way espresso was meant to be drunkFeb 11, 2009
By Kook
I love these glasses. I considered the Pavina model, but preferred having 3 oz. as opposed to 2 oz.
I drink triple shot espressos, Americanos, or macchiatos generally, so this size is perfect for me.
You can also easily determine the quality of the shot based on the level of cascading crema produced.
They shot stays hot longer, but your hand stays cool. Just be wary that you may not expect the liquid to be so hot and approach your beverage cautiously! :)
