I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke

with someone else roughly loading it with a couple

of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just

love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and

didn’t really know how I could do without so

I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I’d

read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile

these are and how precious to me etc…

Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and

sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside

while still holding up to having boiling water poured in

to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident

around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters

on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.

So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.

The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.

i bought these mugs because i thought they were aesthetically pleasing as well as really a good idea. these statements are still both true, as i enjoyed using the glasses for the short time they lasted. unfortunately these glasses are extremely delicate. they are as delicate as expensive crystal. sadly, using these mugs to enjoy my morning coffee resulted in them lasting no more than a few days. all that it took to destroy a mug was the impact from a slight tilting onto the counter from a standing position on that same counter. the other mug shattered upon a light bump while being hand washed in the sink. it is a shame, because they are so beautiful and do really work as described. please bodum try again and make these a bit more robust?

Yes, the glass is thin and you have to be careful with them, but I haven’t broken any yet, and I use them pretty often. I’ve used them for hot and cold beverages and they’re great for ice cream too. They’ve been both hand-washed and through the dishwasher – no problems so far. I’ll probably get more.

Yes, these are great mugs, but they are just too fragile. They are stylish, light and keep your coffee warm for quite a while. They are also incredibly fragile, to the point they are basically disposable. The first pair I ordered were broken when I received them. The second set made it fine in shipping, but are too fragile to be used. After two weeks one of them broke while it was being hand washed. I wasn’t even applying pressure, but none the less I heard a “ting!” and the interior had cracked into pieces. I have one remaining and it seems to have a hariline crack in the lip, so I know it’s only a matter of days. I plan to enjoy it wile it lasts, but I won’t be buying them again.

Bodum, if you are listening: You have a great product with a fatal flaw. If you can make the glass thick enough to stand up to use, I think these would be really popular.

I bought several sets of different Bodum Bistro mugs (latte, espresso, etc.) from Amazon.

One set arrived shattered… so contacting Amazon to exchange.

2 sets seem to have quality issue…. I understand the mugs are mouth blown so there are endpoints (for mouth blowing I assume) at the bottom of the mugs.

However, these endpoints are scratchy and sticking out of the bottom of the mugs…. They make the mugs not stable when set on table. Furthermore, it

scratches my $3000 Jura coffee machine!!!!

Then there is one cup seem to be a bit asymmetric where the drinking top a bit up and down like ocean wave……. I know mouth blowing might not be perfect, but

seem like this is a clear quality control issue.

I see the boxes say “Made in China”…. & confirmed with Bodum that all their Bistro mugs are made in China
