Product Information

Full details

The Bodum Bistro Espresso Cup Set is designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of aesthetic elegance and thermal functionality in their drinkware. These 150ml double-walled glasses are ideal for maintaining the temperature of your espresso or small specialty beverages while providing a comfortable grip that remains cool to the touch. Please note that because these cups are individually mouth-blown, slight variations in dimensions and weight are normal, and the delicate borosilicate glass requires careful handling to prevent damage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these cups safe for the dishwasher?

Yes, they are dishwasher safe, but we recommend avoiding crowded loads to prevent breakage.

Can I put these in the microwave?

Yes, the borosilicate glass is microwave safe.

Will my hands get burned if the coffee is hot?

No, the double-wall design ensures the outer layer remains at a comfortable temperature.

Why does the weight vary between my two cups?

Because each piece is individually mouth-blown by artisans, slight variations in weight and thickness are normal.

Can I use metal spoons?

We strongly advise against it as metal can damage the thin interior glass wall.

Are these glasses suitable for freezer use?

Yes, they are freezer safe, provided you handle them with care to avoid impact.

Troubleshooting

Inner glass layer fractured

Ensure you are adding liquid before ice. Avoid dropping heavy items into the cup.

Interior scratched or chipped

Avoid using metal spoons for stirring; switch to silicone or plastic utensils to preserve the surface.

Water trapped between walls

Ensure the silicone vent at the base (if present) is intact; if the glass is compromised, it may no longer be dishwasher safe and should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention for both hot and cold beverages
  • Cool-to-the-touch exterior prevents burns
  • Versatile use across kitchen appliances including ovens and freezers
  • Transparent glass design showcases beverage layers
  • Elegant aesthetic suitable for both formal and casual settings

Cons

  • Mouth-blown nature leads to slight manufacturing variations
  • Borosilicate glass can be fragile if impacted by hard objects
  • Not intended for use with metal spoons which may chip the interior
  • Larger footprint in the dishwasher than standard ceramic cups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required for the Bodum Bistro set. To maintain the integrity of the glassware, always follow these care guidelines: When adding ice, pour your liquid into the glass first to cushion the base and prevent the ice from fracturing the bottom layer. While the set is dishwasher safe, we suggest placing them in the top rack of a non-crowded dishwasher to prevent collisions with other heavy dishware. The cups are oven-safe, allowing for creative dessert presentations, but avoid exposing them to sudden extreme thermal shocks.
