Bodum double-wall glasses, 0.2L

Where it shines

For a small hot drink or a chilled pour at home, these Bodum Assam double-wall glasses offer a different feel from a standard single-wall tumbler. The set contains two glasses, each listed in a 0.2L format.

Their double-wall construction is designed to help keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. That makes them worth considering for serving tea, coffee or a cold drink when you want the glass itself to feel less like a plain, single layer of glass.

If you prioritise a compact serve with an insulated design, this set has a clear purpose, if you prefer a larger mug for a generous coffee, the listed capacity may feel restrictive. It suits you if you tend to pour smaller drinks and want a matching pair for the table.

Key points

The glasses are made from mouth-blown, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. That construction is the main point of difference here, rather than a handle, lid or extra serving feature: none is listed. The two-piece format is handy if you want a pair for everyday drinks or to serve two people, but it is not a larger multi-glass set.

A practical moment to picture: making tea and carrying the glass from the kitchen to the table, or pouring a cold drink for a guest. The double wall gives the glass its distinctive insulated design, while the modest 0.2L size keeps the serve on the smaller side. The listing does not specify dimensions or how long a drink stays at its original temperature, so those details should not be assumed.

The product details describe the glasses as dishwasher, microwave and oven safe, with oven use listed up to 350ºF/176ºC. That adds flexibility for serving and reheating, but the stated oven limit matters if you plan to use them that way. No separate care instructions are provided beyond those use claims.

Care and maintenance

The stated dishwasher-safe feature makes routine washing straightforward, and microwave and oven use are also listed. The oven limit is 350ºF/176ºC, stick to that stated maximum rather than treating the heat-resistant material as permission for higher temperatures. The description does not give guidance on sudden temperature changes or handling, so avoid assuming the glasses are immune to every form of thermal shock.

Because they are glass, they also call for more careful handling than a robust everyday mug. That is a useful trade-off to weigh if your priority is a distinctive double-wall serving glass rather than a hard-wearing cup for a busy household. No lid or protective sleeve is listed, either.

To wrap up

The Bodum Assam set is a considered fit for smaller hot or cold serves where the double-wall look and borosilicate construction are part of the appeal. The dishwasher, microwave and oven-safe claims make it more versatile than a glass intended only for serving, though the oven temperature limit still applies. No te compensa si you want a large-capacity mug, a handle, or details about dimensions before buying. Based on the product details, the decision comes down to whether two compact glasses suit your usual pour better than a roomier, simpler cup.
