Double-walled glasses are just as appealing for their stylish look as for their ability to reduce condensation. However, not all models are equally suitable for every use. A model designed for espresso may not be the best choice for a generous cocktail, while an attractive set can quickly become a chore if its care requirements do not fit your routine.
Before choosing thermal glasses for coffee, cocktails or table service, it is worth keeping three common pitfalls in mind.
Borosilicate glasses generally withstand temperature changes better than ordinary glass. That does not make them unbreakable, however. Pouring a boiling-hot drink into an ice-cold glass, placing a hot container on a wet surface or moving it straight from the freezer to the dishwasher can cause thermal shock.
The term ‘heat resistant’ therefore describes the properties of the material. It does not mean that the glass can be placed on a hob, over a flame or in the oven. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
A 80 ml size is suitable for espresso, tasting or small servings. For a long coffee, tea or cocktail, a capacity of 250 to 270 ml will be considerably more versatile. Larger 350 to 450 ml sizes are better suited to generous drinks, desserts or soups.
A complete set may seem appealing, but six large glasses can quickly take up a lot of cupboard space. Conversely, a two-piece set may show its limitations as soon as you have guests.
The ‘floating drink’ effect is what makes transparent double-walled glasses so charming. It is not the only feature worth considering, though. Also look at the shape, the stability of the base, the weight, whether there is a silicone valve and the care instructions.
Even when a model is advertised as dishwasher-safe, use it in accordance with its product details. To keep the glass crystal clear and minimise micro-scratches, washing it by hand with a soft sponge is often preferable.
Borosilicate glass is valued for its light weight, transparency and improved resistance to temperature fluctuations. In a double-walled glass, the layer of air between the two walls limits heat transfer to your hand and reduces condensation on the table.
This does not remove the need for the usual precautions. Inspect each glass before use and set aside any piece with a crack, chip or distortion.
Here is a simple guide to choosing the right capacity for both hot and cold drinks:
Double walls offer little benefit for traditional wine glasses. For white wine, rosé or a cocktail served in the classic way, a 32 to 36 cl stemmed glass will often be more suitable.
Before placing your order, check:
Double-walled glasses are naturally fragile. For professional use, plan a stock that matches the number of place settings and allow for replacing any pieces that may become damaged.
Why this choice suits this profile : this set of two 250 ml glasses lets you discover the benefits of double-walled glassware without investing in a complete set straight away. Their size is suitable for coffee, tea, cocktails and cold drinks.
Its mid-range capacity avoids leaving you with a highly specialised size that is difficult to reuse.

We have brought together a complete, real-time updated selection of products that meet these demanding criteria as well as European safety standards.
Some models are advertised as dishwasher-safe, including several Bodum glasses featured here. Always check the product details and use the top rack when recommended by the manufacturer. Gentle hand washing will also help preserve the glass’s transparency and finish.
It is best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid sudden temperature changes. Even a heat-resistant borosilicate glass can crack if moved straight from extreme cold to a boiling liquid. Allow it to return to a moderate temperature and check its condition before each use.
For an espresso, 80 ml is sufficient. Models from 250 to 270 ml are suitable for everyday coffees, teas and cold drinks. For a latte, hot chocolate, smoothie or dessert, 350 to 450 ml glasses offer more room. If you are also looking for wine glasses, opt instead for a 32 or 36 cl stemmed model, such as those designed for serving wine.
