Glassware is popular for its transparency, versatility and ability to fit seamlessly into a French kitchen. However, an elegant appearance does not necessarily guarantee a product that is suitable for everyday use. From glasses that are too fragile and poorly sized containers to impractical lids, false economies can quickly become expensive.
Here are the main criteria to consider before choosing water glasses, mugs, a glass carafe, food storage containers or accessories for entertaining.
Very thin glass is often pleasing to look at, but it may feel less reassuring to hold and can sometimes cope less well with the minor knocks of everyday use. Conversely, a thicker model or one with a weighted base will take up more space in a cupboard.
Strength also depends on the material and design. Borosilicate glass handles changes in temperature better than ordinary glass, although it is not unbreakable. Sudden temperature changes should therefore still be avoided.
A 250 ml mug is suitable for a cappuccino, café au lait or a standard cup of tea. For a more generous drink, it is better to choose a 350 ml size. Similarly, a one-litre carafe is enough for a small family meal, but you may need several when entertaining.
For food storage containers, having several sizes is often more useful than one large container. Capacities ranging from 150 ml to over one litre make it possible to separate portions, sauces, leftovers and meals prepared for taking away.
The statement ‘dishwasher safe’ should apply to the entire product, especially when it includes a lid, silicone seal or wooden component. An acacia lid requires different care from the glass container itself.
Also check the usage limits: oven, freezer, microwave, boiling drinks or sparkling water maker. The presence of glass does not automatically mean that an item is suitable for all these uses.
For hot drinks, prioritise products that clearly state their material. Double-wall glass mugs made from borosilicate glass trap an insulating layer of air between their two walls. This keeps the outer surface more comfortable to touch, although hot drinks should always be handled with care.
For food, look for information about food contact, the lid and the seal. Statements such as ‘BPA-free’ generally refer to plastic components and do not replace the need to consult the manufacturer’s instructions.
Measure the available space in your cupboards, fridge and dishwasher. A rectangular container is generally easier to store than a round model, while stackable glasses help save space.
Some useful guidelines:
Even when an item is advertised as dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive products and metal scourers. Regularly inspect the rims, walls and lids. Any component with a crack, chip or damaged seal should be removed from use for all food-related purposes.
For a shaker or cocktail glasses, also check the specific restrictions. A glass shaker designed for cold drinks should not be filled with boiling liquid or placed in the microwave.

We have brought together a comprehensive, real-time selection of products that meet these demanding criteria as well as European safety standards.
Depending on your needs, several product categories can complement this selection:
With every purchase, compare the capacity, dimensions, type of lid, washing instructions and temperature limits. An attractive photo is not enough to assess a product.
It is designed to withstand changes in temperature better than standard glass. However, avoid suddenly pouring a very hot liquid into a cold container, and do not place a hot glass on a damp surface. The manufacturer’s instructions should always take priority.
No. Some glasses and containers can be washed in the dishwasher, but wooden lids, removable seals and certain shakers may need to be cleaned by hand. Always check the product details and separate the different components before washing them.
A size between 30 and 40 cl is generally suitable for water, juice and cold drinks. For a table used by children, older people or in a professional setting, also choose a stable glass that is easy to grip and light enough to handle.
