Product Description
Created by famous Italian designer and architect Matteo Thun, these double-walled glasses are designed to keep your beverages at the optimal temperature. Made from borosilicate glass, they’re constructed of multiple layers, creating added heat and cold retention Read More
Is the space between the walls empty? I saw some glasses with water between the walls so that we can freeze them before serving to keep the beverages cool.
My folks had some that appeared to be glass (felt like glass) that they could freeze. I'm sure they were not made out of glass, otherwise I would thought they would have frozen and broken, but they did have some. I just got rid of them a couple years ago, when I cleaned out Mother's condo. Check at Goodwills. That's what I did with hers, but now I wish I had them back.
I got the beer glasses as well as the coffee mugs from a separate drop. Absolutely in love. These are some of the best-looking glassware I've ever seen. I've had multiple (unsolicited!) compliments from guests on how nice these look. I just love how the liquid looks like it's floating. Its an amazing combination of form and function with perfect execution. Beer stays cold and coffee hot for noticeably longer than my old glasses and mugs.
I'm considering buying lots of shapes of these and just stocking my whole cabinet with this series. I'm a programmer who considers myself a design nerd---I love Don Norman!---and something about these glasses just resonates with me. They're really some of my favorite objects ever, and I want them around me for a very long time.
Borosilicate sometimes happens to be less fragile, but is not engineered to be any stronger than standard glassware.
Due to its increased thermal shock resistance, borosilicate glass is used for laboratory glass like beakers and test tubes as well as for cookware in your kitchen. It can withstand uneven heat from a Bunsen burner or be taken out of the oven and put on the stove top without breaking from thermal shock.
It is also used in perfume bottle applications due to its chemical durability. The phase separation of its microstructure allows for higher resistance to acidic degradation.
I have some coffee cups with a similar design. There is a vent on the bottom of the glass so the temperature change doesn't stress the glass to cracking due internal pressure. The vent is water resistance. Silicone maybe? I wash mine in the dishwasher. I haven't developed any condensation in two years but I did have one crack on the lip but I still use it. $35 on Amazon for two 10 oz mugs so I'm going to get in on this deal.
Can I get either 1 beer glass and 1 red wine glass or one each of the beer, red & white wine glasses? I live alone and have no more than 3 people at a time visiting?
