Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award
Editorial Review:
Great for iced tea and other beverages / 13 Oounce Capacity / Clear, double-wall glass / Set of 2
Combining modern materials and clever styling, Bodum's Assam drinkware brings a truly innovative look to the table. The walls of each vessel are actually two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended within. Highlighting the dramatic effect, the Assam shape features slightly concave sides that flare out as they reach the smooth, round rim.
This set of two double wall cooler/beer glasses serves frosty ales or hot toddies with equal ease. Crafted from borosilicate glass, which is also used to make scientific lab equipment, the pair is exceptionally strong, lightweight, and thermal. The two-layer construction also resists heat and prevents condensation, so no matter what temperature the beverage is, the glasses remain comfortable to hold and safe for any tabletop. Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award, this 13-ounce, scratch-resistant set goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave. Mix and match Assam with the Pavina and Canteen lines for a variety of fun shapes. --Kara Karll
Editor's Note: Because the glasses are mouth blown, each one may have slight variations in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. Do not use metal spoons or place the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

Too fragile:
These glasses are a great idea, a nice shape, and perfect for beer. They would get a five except they are both broken in two weeks time. They are ultra thin glass. One broke the first time it was used. Set it down on the granite counter a little too hard and it cracked. The second one broke when I dropped a really small ice cube into it. Just pop! Another one bites the dust.
Keep beer cold and surprisingly good-looking too:
I bought these for my husband. He's a draft beer lover and I got them for him to use with his beloved Heineken mini-kegs. My thinking was that their ability to keep the beer cold would be a big plus. Now that we are using them, I have to say that's only one of the pluses. They definitely keep liquids as cold as when they go in. Beer doesn't lose its head as fast as in other glasses and it tastes great to the last drop because it is so cold. But there's more we have found we like about these glasses. For one... more info
Great cups, excellent insulation:
These cups are amazing. You can put scalding hot or ice cold beverages in them and your hands will not feel a thing. They are well constructed. Each one is mouth blown, so minor differences between each might exist, but it gives each a unique character. The walls are thin, so they are prone to scratching and can be easily broken. However, the overall feel and great insulation more than make up for the negative aspects, and allow me to easily give these a 5 star rating anyways. They hold 12 oz., so a can of... more info
Bodum Assam Double-Wall Beer Glasses Review:
My husband is a beer drinker and this is by far his preferred glass. Our only problem is that they're a bit fragile, but they're well-worth the special handling. We do put them in the dishwasher.
