Lukewarm coffee in five minutes, condensation rings on the table, a glass too hot to hold… We all know these minor daily frustrations. The Bodum double-walled glass was invented to put an end to them, brilliantly combining design and functionality.
But with so many different ranges, sizes, and shapes, it can be hard to know where to start. This guide is here to shed some light and help you find the perfect insulated glass for your habits and preferences.
How to Choose the Right Bodum Double-Walled Glass??
Before diving into our selection, let's review the key criteria for finding the model that will fit seamlessly into your daily life.
1. Capacity: The Right Size for Every Drink
Capacity is arguably the first criterion to consider. Bodum offers a wide range of sizes, each designed for a specific use?:
- For Espresso: An 80?ml espresso glass is ideal. Its small size concentrates the aromas and maintains the temperature of your short coffee.
- For Lungos and Cappuccinos: The 250?ml models are an excellent balance for your morning coffee or afternoon break.
- For Teas, Infusions, and Large Drinks: Glasses from 350 to 450?ml are perfect for teas, hot chocolates, latte macchiatos, or even smoothies and beers.
2. Design and Material: With or Without a Handle??
Design is a matter of taste, but also of comfort.
- The Bodum Pavina Range: This line is known for its clean, handle-free silhouette. The levitating effect of the drink inside is spectacular. You hold it directly by the outer wall, which always remains at room temperature.
- The Bistro Range: For those who swear by a traditional grip, the double-walled mug with a handle from the Bistro collection is a much-loved option.
- Borosilicate Glass: All these glasses are made from borosilicate glass. This mouth-blown material is renowned for its lightness, clarity, and excellent resistance to thermal shock, ensuring durability.
3. Quantity: For Daily Use or for Entertaining??
Finally, think about how you will use them. Buying a set of 2, 4, or 6 double-walled glasses is often more economical and practical. A six-piece set is ideal for equipping your home for daily use and for welcoming guests with a service that is as harmonious as it is elegant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Bodum Double-Walled Glasses
Are Bodum double-walled glasses dishwasher-safe??
Yes, most Bodum double-walled glasses are dishwasher-safe. However, to preserve their shine and longevity, the manufacturer often recommends handwashing with a non-abrasive sponge. Over time, the thermal shocks and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can indeed tarnish the glass or damage the silicone seal.
What is the purpose of the silicone plug on the bottom of the glass??
This small silicone plug on the bottom of the glass is actually a patented hydrophobic valve. This technical innovation allows the pressure of the air trapped between the two walls to equalise with the atmospheric pressure. This prevents the risk of breakage due to temperature changes and stops condensation from forming inside, all while ensuring a perfect seal.
What is the difference between the Pavina and Bistro models??
The difference is purely a matter of design and grip. The Bodum Pavina range is distinguished by its curved, clean, and handle-free shape for a resolutely minimalist style. The Bistro range, in contrast, incorporates a handle for a more traditional grip, similar to that of a mug. The choice between the two is therefore primarily a matter of personal taste and comfort.
