These are very nice for the price. They are a larger mug and being double walled you can grab the actual cup and not just the handle even when the beverage is at its hottest temp. Holds heat well. You would expect a much thicker cup/mug for how insulated they are. Read more

I originally had purchased some cheap latte stoneware cups at Target thinking that a cup is just a cup and it didn't really matter much. Boy... was I wrong! After spending significant time making cafe lattes in the morning, I kept noticing that my lattes would get cold very quickly. It was incredibly frustrating. I soon realized my cheap Target cups were just radiating heat. You could feel all the heat loss on the outside of the cup. So, I did some research online and saw that these Bodum cups were highly rated by many users. And although they were significantly more expensive than my cheap cups, I gave them a try. All I can say is... Wow! These are a total game changer! Night and day. My lattes stay hot for an incredibly long time. Even when I'm close to finishing the drink, with very little coffee at the bottom of the cup, it's still hot. And the telltale sign is that you don't feel heat radiation on the outside of these cups. The double wall keeps the liquid hot for a very long time. The manufacturing quality of these cups is very good. They are made from borosilicate glass which is much more durable glass. It is the same glass used in medical grade flasks and beakers. Apparently even Pyrex used to make their measuring cups out of this more durable glass until they decided to cut costs and go with a cheaper glass (borosilicate glass is more expensive). But, these cups are definitely worth the extra cost!... In this case you get what you pay for. However, as with any glass cup, I'm sure they can break if you get too rough with them or put them in the dishwasher next to/touching other glasses. For that reason I always hand wash mine. Also, Bodum recommends that you don't use metal spoons with them (prevents them from cracking/breaking). So, I picked up a box of plastic spoons at Costco to use with them. You can also find small wooden spoons on Amazon that I'm sure would work well too. Again, these are after all made of glass (even if it is a much stronger glass) and glass can break. But as long as you don't get too rough with them and don't stack them on other dishes in the dishwasher, they should last a very long time. Excellent cups!! Read more

The moment I poured my first doppio into these 5 oz Bodum Bistro double‑wall mugs, I knew my home espresso routine had graduated to coffee‑shop status. The high‑heat borosilicate glass shows off that rich caramel crema while the insulating air layer keeps the shot piping hot and my fingers perfectly cool—no need for saucers or awkward sleeve grips. Even after lingering over a latte art attempt, the outer wall stays warm at most, so there’s zero risk of scalding when you go in for that last sip. Beyond temperature control, the feather‑light feel is pure magic; each mug looks delicate but feels durable enough to clink without fear, and the crystal‑clear walls rinse spotless in the dishwasher with no cloudy film. I’ve started using them for affogatos and mini chia puddings too—the double‑wall design prevents condensation rings, so they pull double duty as elegant dessert glasses. After weeks of daily use, there’s not a scratch or heat stain in sight, and the shape still nestles perfectly under my espresso machine spouts without splashing. If you want barista‑level presentation and practical, stay‑hot performance in one sleek package, this Bodum set is an easy five‑star upgrade for any coffee lover’s shelf. Read more

For years I've used a set of the smaller sizes of the Bodum Bistro line to use for espresso and love them for their lightness, cool factor, and insulating effect, keeping my coffee hotter longer than a single wall cup. With working from home now I drink more coffee here and my regular 8oz mugs just didn't cut it, having to get up for another cup or being too busy to go without. Bistro 14oz mug to the rescue. These mugs are no shrinking violets. They have presence. If you have small hands using the the handle alon will be awkward when the mug is full. You'll want to two hand it for sure. As you drink down, back to the handle-only. Like the other Bistro line glasses these are light for their size. And insulate well. I estimate my coffee stays warmer for at least 10-15 min longer than a single wall mug. While they look fragile they feel sturdy, just like my smaller ones. A word of caution though. I don't know if the mugs I recieved were just a bad batch, or the 14oz is harder to make, or what, but 2 of the 4 I ordered came scuffed or scratched on the outside. Amazon exchanged them but then the replacements were defective too. One had a long scratch inside the double wall (I could see it but not feel it). The other mug had air bubbles in the lip. Thankfully, 3rd time was a charm and that set was perfect. I was a bit shocked at the poor quality control on these since Bodum is a premium brand, and these are mouth-blown. But happy it worked out. Even with these troubles I have no regrets sticking with the Bodum brand. I know I'll enjoy these for years. They are a great "have" for any coffee fan -- though they are great for any kind of hot drink. Read more

Beautiful insulated mug that fits my large hand comfortably. No issue with seal leaking. Really appreciate the heat retention and clarity of the glass. We prefer to wash it by hand. Only time one broke was after I dropped it in the sink but that was after four years. Purchased several for gifts to friends and they raved about them. Read more

These used to last for years. Not anymore. The only aesthetically-pleasing double-walled mugs, but my last order of 2 lasted only a few days each; no matter how carefully handled, one morning you just notice the crack in the brim of the mug... Read more
