Editorial Review:Product Description:Bodum has come up with a way to sandwich air between two layers of Pyrexlike glass, yielding pleasant-to-hold glasses that keep espresso hot and sake cold. Bodum Canteen Double Wall Espresso / Shot Glasses come in a Set of 2. The thermal insulation makes these great espresso cups or bar shot glasses. The Canteen series is styled with straight walls for a classic look. Bodum double wall glasses have been honored with prestigious design awards. capacity: 3 oz size: dia dia 2.75 in / h 3 in More info... Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional 'soda-lime' glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in traditional glassware. The boron oxide acts as a glue holding the silicate together and due to the small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger glass. Some customers may perceive the glass to be 'thin' as they hold it. It is important to explain the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong. Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching. Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it. Simply treat it as you would any glass product and it will stand up to every day use. Dishwasher & microwave safe.
Amazon.com Review:Drawing on modern technology and innovative design, Bodum's Canteen collection puts a new twist on everyday drinkware. The walls of each vessel are hand blown with two layers of clear glass, creating an optical illusion that the liquid is suspended inside. Cut in slightly tapered, clean lines, they have an almost futuristic appeal that emphasizes the relationship of form and function.
This set of two double old fashioned/tumbler glasses serves any small beverage from Turkish coffee to tequila. 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 Canteen with the Pavina and Assam lines to stock the bar or dining table with 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.

Make it a double-shot, please
These are great little glasses for espresso. They are about 3 oz., so I use them when pulling double shots. The extra ounce allows some room for drips or for pulling the double long. No heat comes through to the outer surface of the glass so you don't burn your fingers and the shot stays hot longer. I love using a transparent glass to show off the crema - it looks like a mini pint of Guiness!

bodum shot glasses
A bit more resilient than their larger counter parts, these shot glasses are perfect for any cold shot.

hot's hot; cold's cold
These little glasses work great. Keeps the espresso hot and the vodka cold. I don't dump them in with other dishes to wash them, they appear too fragile, but a little wash and wipe and they're back on the espresso maker.

Bodum espresso glasses
These glasses are excellent, and elegant, choices for espresso. The double-walled construction keeps your brew warm, and the view of the "crema" through the glass adds a nice visual touch.

ok but very large for a shot glass
these are great but I was surprised at how they are much larger than standard shot glasses. I should have noticed that it says 6.4 ounces! They are more like a small juice cup, much too big for espresso.
