Amazon.com Review
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.

 Excellent glasses, but not the ones shown September 2, 2008
Christopher DeCoro (Princeton, NJ)
I've enjoyed using these all-purposes glasses for tasks ranging from very hot (scalding coffee wont affect the outside surface temp at all) to very cold (they're great for ice cream, for example). Also the Assam design is a lot more elegant than their other lines. Unfortunatly, they break very easily; my roommate and I have gone through about 8 breaks in the past year, so keep that in mind.
More significant, the picture shown for this item is NOT the actual glasses; the real glasses are significantly taller than the ones shown here. I bought these thinking that they would be similar in height to the Bodum Pavina Beer glasses (another one of their lines) and in fact they are half again as tall. The pictures show the inflection point of the curve to be about a third of the way down; in reality they are about a fifth (the point of that is only to say that its not an image scaling issue, but that the glasses in the picture are incorrect)
Despite that, I've been very happy with them, so no complaints here (although I spent another $20 to buy the ones I thought I was getting!)

Glasses are as advertised and I use them for cold drinks because they don't sweat on good tables or wherever you may want to set them. They are however very thin and you have to be extra careful not to just drop an ice cube into an empty glass. I did and learned the first time. I do like the glasses enough to have ordered more.
Love them! July 22, 2008

It all started when my son had purchased them and in using them first hand, I really liked that you could put hot tea or coffee in them and it stayed warm as well as having a cold drink or beer and it would keep the beverage cool. I like the design as they are easy to hold (not too wide) and easy to store in the cupboard, (one up, one down etc.) and they look great! I absolutely love these! Best purchase in a long while!
lovely but lethal! July 10, 2008

i've had these less than 2 wks. just was hand-washing one and it slipped - huge sharp shards slice both of my hands - jagged and deep.
as a 27+-yr career research biochemist, i am used to pyrex lab glass - which i THOUGHT this was - waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too thin for in-home use!
do not buy.
Very Cool (or Hot) Glasses May 3, 2008
Chez (Connecticut)
I originally bought these as a treat for myself because I really like my hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold. Both my teenagers pronounced them "sweet" and like using them so much that they will actually remove them from the dishwasher and wash them by hand if there isn't a clean one available. They do work well; your coffee/tea will stay nicely hot. And my son loves the fact that his milk stays cold to the last sip. No coasters necessary to prevent rings, either. They are very visually appealing, too. The only draw back might be that they are expensive and breakable, so you don't want to use them around small children or folks apt to drop things.
