Bought the largest size, 0.45 and they are great.We really wanted these as they look so cool but also the functionality of them keeping my hot drinks a lot hotter for longer was also very appealing.A lot of people seem to have complained about them breaking, being brittle and not being stable on a surface due to the rubber pressure valve at the bottom. Mine are fine standing up and don't find them being brittle at all. Don't get me wrong, they do feel a little different to how you would expect but that is because they are made of borosilicate glass opposed to normal glass meaning they are lighter so gives the sensation of brittleness but I have found the strong and when my wife drops them in the sink and they don't break,

These are high quality mouth blown glasses that provide excellent insulation to your hot or cold beverage, they are very light weight and certainly show a sense of craftsmanship in this industrial age. In this sense I think they provide value for what they are worth. The patented silicone valve works perfectly at managing changes in pressure and reduces chance of condensation building up internally.This is a delicate glass product which can inevitably break, especially if you have hard tiled floors or granite work tops. However they are dishwasher safe, I've noticed no weakening or clouding as a result of dishwashing. They are stronger than you think at times,

Well, I've seen a few reviews complaining these mugs are "fragile" so I had to chip in, as it were. And I guess if you want to buy a mug in your teenage years and still be sipping from it in your dotage, then perhaps these are not for you. I've bought 3 pairs over the years, got 4 mugs left, guess that means I cracked 2 over the last several years. Not a bad result. They are blown glass and you shouldn't lob them carelessly in the general direction of the dishwasher and hope for the best. However they are not fragile crystal, they withstand daily use, and as a good-sized mug that will keep your tea piping hot, they can't be beat. These mugs are our daily go-to, my Earl Grey stays hot to the very last sip.

These are great glasses, I bought them over two years ago and don't write reviews until I know how good or bad something is. I use the glasses at least twice daily for coffee. I bought them mainly because my coffee would go cold in a normal mug over the time I took to drink it which I didn't like. Using these glasses the coffee stays hot until I've finished which is perfect for me. It's a bonus that you can see the coffee through the glass and I don't know why some other reviewers said the glasses were very fragile, I have not broken mine and I stir the coffee with a metal spoon and have lightly bumped the glass whilst washing them against the sink and tap and they have been fine.

I like this product. I use to buy them from the actual Bodium site but they've been "out of stock" for these 0.3L mugs for over a month now. Did a search on Amazon and found it's not only in stock, but also £7 cheaper! My only criticism of this product is like others have mentioned: they break easily. I think I've been through six in 2 years. I keep buying them because I have sensitive hands and as an avid tea drinker it's worth the cost for me. If they could find a way to make the glass unbreakable that would be amazing. Even if they charged double the price it would be worth it as I wouldn't need to replace them once per year.

The capacity when filled to the brim is actually 18 fluid ounces and not 15 fluid ounces.It's very good, therefore, for hot chocolate, but probably too big for tea, and possibly coffee, I rarely manage to finish a whole coffee before some has gone cold.The insulation & general quality is very good, however it is made of glass and will break if you drop it or smack it into things but it's fine in the dishwasher.Keeps cold things cold & hot things hot...I have a hot cup of tea and a choc ice in mine right now ;-)

Lovely mugs. Visually stunning. They were very well packed and arrived very quickly. I've been using them for a couple of months now, no scratches, cracks or condensation between the walls. I love the size.My only tiny niggle is that the liquid doesn't stay warm for very long. Maybe 45 mins? Of course that depends on ambient temperature. I usually fill the cup with hot water before I brew, to try and maximise the lasting warmth.If they broke, I would replace them, and I don't often say that.

I love these glasses. They are huge and can hold 330ml cans of soda with ease, without condensation forming on the outside of the glass. This makes them very desirable to me as my partner seems allergic to using coasters. I would love to leave seller feedback but this feature doesn't seem to be available for this item. As the picture suggests, they are large enough to hold a decent amount of soup

The actual insulation function works really well but the opening "lid" surface is still a little big. This means that although little heat is lost through the walls of the mug a large percentage does dissapate quickly through contact with cold air. Ideally this mug would be a little thinner and narrower to help reduce this problem. Otherwise a not unreasonable buy

just as expected, keeps hot drinks hot alrigh, but warning it takes time to get use to this product if not had one before, your hand tells your brain when you pick it up it is cool enought to drink, only its hotter than you think due to the two wall system dont forget... the first order was smashed but teh replacement came very quickly, bery happy with them.

Bigger than I thought they'd be.They do exactly as they say, keeping drinks warm for ages. Just remember the outside remains deceivingly cool, so don't throw that not coffee back too quick!They do feel quite fragile though, extremely light. I don't know how fragile they are though as they're not broke!

Good quality large cups, only gripe is that the two I recieved were clearly returned from another customer before as the box was tampered with and sellotaped shut. I wouldn't mind usually but there was clearly usage of the cups AND they were slightly different cups to one another in the box!!!

I bought these because they were an almost exact match for someon's that I broke. Would have preferred to be able to buy singly but the price was not bad value for Bodum.They are pleasant to use although I have no idea how much of a difference the air valve makes.

Lovely 150ml double walled cup which nicely fits a Nespresso Lungo (110ml).Fits perfectly in a Krupa Nespresso Essenza Mini machine with the cup holder in place.Keeps coffee hot much longer than a similar single walled cup. Highly recommended.

Lovely looking cups. Very light in weight I wont be putting them in the dishwasher they feel to delicate Great size for a decent coffee. I think a little pricey for 2 cups that's why I've given 4 star rating.
