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 shot/espresso glasses serves silver tequila or extra-strong coffee with equal ease. Crafted of 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 3-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.

 Wonderfull November 17, 2008
In this cups your coffee will look awesome (especially if you have good crema), you don't need to preheat them and they will keep your espresso at the right temperature for a while.
I love these Bodum Glass products! June 18, 2008
I love the whole line of double-wall glass products from bodum. They do as advertised- keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. They also have the cool effect of insulating your hand from whatever is inside the glass. This means that the heat of your hand isn't going to warm a drink, so you can even use these glasses for wines and cocktails. This also has the added benefit of eliminating condensation, making coasters almost entirely unnecessary.
The reaction I get from people when they see these is always a positive one. The look of liquid that appears to be floating inside the glass pretty much always impresses; as does the ethereal weightless feeling of the ultra-thin glass.
Despite being extremely thin and light these products are also impressively durable. I have dropped them on tile flooring more than once and, although they can bounce rather high, they've never broken. That is not to say I don't worry every time I drop one of them though, but they make it through my klutzyness and my dishwasher just fine.
Be sure to get the larger tumbler glasses too- they're great for beer and sodas. They're good enough at insulating that, if the drink is poured at a desirable temperature, you do not even need ice to keep it cold.
 Nice product January 12, 2008
I really liked these glasses and they are getting quite some use as my Limoncello glasses. The only negative is I wish they had a sharper lip on them since the round lip doesn't pour very well and with something as thick as cold limoncello it can drip over the edge after a sip.
Best Espresso Shot Glasses Ever December 9, 2007
These espresso shot glasses are excellent. The quality is good and they keep the espresso hot and your fingers cool. Every guest that I have served in these shot glasses comments how much they like them. They let you see the espresso as it comes out of the machine. If you are making quality espresso you might as well see it. They are well made and I highly recommend them.
it's worth it October 26, 2007
They're a little gimmicky, but if they add to the espresso experience, why not?. I like the look and functionality of these and for $12 I think it's worth it. I also like that you can pull a 2oz shot and still have room for a topping.
I only wish they weren't so fragile; and 1cm shorter would have fit better under the portafilter.
