Additional Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Shot/Espresso Glasses, Set of 2 Information
|
The Bodum Canteen double wall shot/espresso glass is 3 ounces in size and can be used for cold or warm beverages. Its unique design is appealing to the eye when filled with your favorite beverage. With its double layer of borosilicate glass it appears as though the liquid is 'floating' within the glass. They will not sweat when filled with a cold beverage, so you will not have to use a coaster. The double wall creates a thermal effect, helping to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for longer periods of time. These mouth blown glasses are an exciting product for any home, restaurant, and cafe and are a definite conversation piece. The double wall also makes for a nice votive candle holder, eliminating wax spills and the need for a coaster. Bodum’s insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass traditionally used to make scientific lab glass. Stronger than traditional “soda-lime” glass, borosilicate can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in everyday glassware. The boron oxide acts as the glue holding the silicate together. Due to small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger, lighter glass. Borosilicate glass doesn’t need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong due to the bonding capability boron oxide. 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 resistant to temperature swings, In addition to being dishwasher safe borosilicate will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 1,000 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it.

What Customers Say About Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Shot/Espresso Glasses, Set of 2:
|
|
I have had these glasses for almost a year and I love them. They are great for a double shot of espresso and they are not as fragile as some early reviews have said. They are like lab glass, so they're somewhat thin but I wash mine in the dishwasher no problem so far (knock on wood).
A double-shot of espresso takes up less than half of the available volume. I own some of the larger Bodum glasses and have been pleased with all of them. The outside of the glass itself is significantly more than twice the size of any other actual 3oz shot glass. However, these glasses are far too big to be practically used as espresso shot glasses. The review claims they are 3oz glasses, though they can actually fit 4.5 oz to the brim. The glass filled with espresso as shown on the box must be roughly 4oz of liquid.They are nicely designed and nothing is physically wrong with the glasses as long as your are gentle. They are perfect for espresso macchiato.
They are superb for espresso machines; however, they are a little too tall and catch under the spout. With a little practice, you'll get aroud this and never burn your fingers again.
I received an espresso maker for Christmas but no Espresso cups. After using regular mugs and ending up with cold Espresso rather quickly, we decided we needed some Espresso glasses. These are very affordable and do an excellent job at keeping the espresso hot while we eat breakfast. They are light-weight, easy to clean, and cool to look at.
as opposed to 2 oz.I drink triple shot espressos, Americanos, or macchiatos generally, so this size is perfect for me.You can also easily determine the quality of the shot based on the level of cascading crema produced.They shot stays hot longer, but your hand stays cool. I love these glasses. I considered the Pavina model, but preferred having 3 oz. Just be wary that you may not expect the liquid to be so hot and approach your beverage cautiously. :)
