Customer Reviews
No sweat! (2010-09-02)
I like my drinks very cold so I use a lot of ice. These cups keep liquids cold without sweating on the outside, even when the weather gets really sticky. I have had mine for 10 months and they have stood up well to everyday use and the dishwasher. They are rather large, but that is necessary to accommodate the double-wall design. I highly recommend them.
Bodum Canteen Porcelain Cup (2010-05-17)
These cups are really convenient. They are easy to grasp onto without having to look for a cup holder to put a finger through - this has saved me a lot of spills. You can grab the cup without looking.
The double wall keeps the outside cool while keeping the coffee hot, and the non-slip grip makes sure it will not slip out of your hand. The design should be useful for individuals that may have problems grasping; though they are heavier then the average cup or mug.
The only flaw (if you want to call it that) I can find is that at least one of the non-slip covering has loosen slightly. I don't see any danger of it slipping or peeling off, but it is an annoyance when I use that particular cup.
Nice (2010-03-15)
Bigger than you would think, but holds about the same amount as a regular coffee cup. Way more durable than the glass version, planning on buying more.
Terrific all-around glass/tumbler; great gift (2010-03-09)
I have only received and used mine for a few days now (keep that in mind). I really like them so far - they have a nice sturdy feel, they are not too big to grip even for smaller adult hands, and the silicone grip on them really fit the hand well and gives you an extra secure feel for keeping this tumbler steady (it is heavier than typical to begin with, and especially after filling with your drink).
I think most anyone would like drinking out of this cup, so I think they'd make great presents for friends (most mens could probably handle the neutral colors).
I can't tell, so far, whether the double wall porcelain really helps to keep drinks hot/cold for longer. I have used the 6 oz. version of this cup with hot tea, and it doesn't *seem* to keep the tea warm for an especially long time. However, they do seem to reduce/prevent condensation on the outside, if your drink is icy cold. This could benefit office worker types who work with lots of paper, etc. The colors can also add a little "flair" to someone's desk-bound workaday life.
I got these Bodum cups mainly because of their silicone/rubber grip. I couldn't find any other glass/porcelain cups with rubber/silicone grips.
I took off one star for their price - they are pricey. But if they hold up well and continue to function down the line as they do right now, then they might warrant 5 stars. I can understand that truly high quality, well-designed, long-lasting consumer products are worth paying 2-5x the price of the competing off-brand/no-brand models. But it seems that a lot of times, "high quality", "precision engineering", "European designed", etc. is just a lot of marketing BS to make a subpar "Made in China" product seem swanky (I've read this about the Sigg "Swiss engineered" Chinese-made water bottles). So, I hope that these Bodum cups continue to please me and have me feeling certain that they're worth their price like 5 years from now.
elegant and functional (2010-03-05)
I got these because I wanted a porcelain mug for coffee that would retain heat. This cup is double-walled and does a good job of keeping the heat in. The grip surface is handy. And the design is lovely. I am thinking about buying a bunch more, though I usually don't spend this much for cups....
