I often use them for coffee rather than a large mug. I have a couple of dozen of these glasses and use them for both hot and cold beverages. Let the kids use the jelly glasses though. They are great for iced tea but, again, put the ice cubes in after the beverage and don't use chipped ice as it may freeze together and expand. I have broken 2 or 3 over the years but only when I should have known and been more careful. Care for them as you would for similarly priced wine glasses.
Ha. Anyhow, the glasses are beautiful and I washed half of them in the upper level of the dishwasher, half by hand, and all came out fine.
especially good idea is putting the liquid in before adding some ice cubes. I WILL, however, take heed to those who have had these break.
If I had read the reviews prior to purchase I might not have bought these glasses. Bad habit).
I love nice glassware and so it's worth it to me to have a non-dripper that looks as good as these glasses do. But now I have 8.
(I tend to buy all the colors of "whatever" also.
really holds about 11.5 but what a relief to not have to panic everytime you use a double wall glass.Cheers. I read all of the review warnings and my Bodum glasses also suffered the same demise-which is a good thing really, because treating them like priceless heirlooms was making me mental.I then found glasses called Strong Double Wall Thermo glasses on Amazon that were cheaper and stronger than the Bodum's.They are heavier and may sweat just a bit more than the Bodum glasses and the 14 oz.
I wash them on the top shelf of the dishwasher with no problem. Reading what others said about ice I have had no problems putting in a 1/2 glass of liquid and then adding ice and the rest of the liquid. We love them so much I just ordered more. I have had the Ice Tea glasses for a few months now and love them. Living in a high humidity area and disliking plastic glasses these have been the perfect answer.
I bought these for my mother's birthday because she has always liked double walled cups; unfortunately they weren't out of the box 5 minutes before one was broke and what a shame considering the cost.
