Double-walled glasses combine a lightweight appearance with practical everyday use. The space between the two layers of glass helps prevent a drink from transferring heat or cold to the outside as quickly. This makes them suitable as coffee glasses, cappuccino glasses, tea glasses, cocktail glasses and dessert serving glasses.
However, not every model is designed for the same purpose. A small 80 ml glass is ideal for espresso, but not for a generous latte. And a glass described as dishwasher-safe on the product page can still be damaged by rough cleaning or sudden temperature changes. Keep these points in mind to avoid making the wrong purchase.
The floating effect of double-walled thermal glasses is attractive, but it tells you nothing about capacity, grip or care requirements. A smooth, straight-sided model may be less comfortable to hold than a glass with an ergonomic outer wall. So don’t just check the shape; look at the capacity and dimensions too.
For espresso and small desserts, 80 to 100 ml is often enough. Cappuccino, flat white and regular coffee usually fit better in a glass of around 190 to 270 ml. For lattes, iced coffee, smoothies or layered desserts, 350 ml may be more practical.
Borosilicate glasses are designed to withstand temperature differences better than many standard glasses. That does not mean they can cope with every sudden change. For example, do not pour a boiling-hot drink into an ice-cold glass, and do not place a hot glass straight onto a wet or cold surface. Also check whether the product specifications state that it is suitable for use in the microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher.
Many double-walled glasses are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Product information often describes this material as lightweight and resistant to temperature changes. Other models use toughened glass, such as the De’Longhi DLSC311. Toughened glasses may be suitable for hot drinks, but they do not automatically come with the same usage instructions as borosilicate glasses.
Look out for the following:
Some double-walled glasses have an opening in the base. According to Bodum’s own research, as explained in the product information, this system helps regulate the air pressure between the two glass layers. Treat this as a product feature described in the brand’s documentation, not as a guarantee that the glass can never crack.
The capacity determines how comfortable the glass is to use for different drinks:
A tall shape shows the layers in a drink to great effect, but may fit less easily beneath a low coffee machine. A wider glass is often more practical for cappuccino with milk foam or for serving desserts.
“Dishwasher-safe glasses” are convenient for everyday use, but load them in the dishwasher according to the instructions and prevent them from coming into contact with hard pans or cutlery. Do not use wire wool or abrasive cleaners. When using them in the oven, always check the maximum temperature. The Bodum models in this selection state that they can be used in the oven up to 176 °C or 180 °C, depending on the collection.
A silicone valve or ventilation grille is part of the construction. Do not try to remove it, and inspect the glass before use. Stop using a glass if you notice a crack, chip or damaged rim.
Why it suits this profile: A set of 2 with a capacity of 280 ml is a straightforward choice for a first purchase and is suitable for coffee, tea and other everyday drinks.
The capacity is clearly stated, so you won’t accidentally choose an espresso glass for a large speciality coffee.
280 ml, double-walled design and a compact set of 2, according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: These Bodum double-walled glasses are ideal for households looking for one versatile set for coffee, tea, cocktails and desserts.

Why it suits this profile: The tall glasses are designed for lattes, iced coffee, smoothies and drinks where visible layers are part of the presentation.
The 350 ml capacity gives milk, ice or toppings plenty of room, avoiding the limitations of a smaller coffee glass.
Tall shape, borosilicate glass and double-walled construction; according to the product description, the glasses are also dishwasher-safe.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Bodum offers several collections in different sizes. The PAVINA glasses with an 80 ml capacity are designed for smaller portions. The PAVINA PARIS models hold 270 ml and feature a twisted outer wall. They are available as coffee glass sets of 2 or 6, including transparent pink, white, red, green and grey.
For cappuccino, the De’Longhi DLSC311 cappuccino glasses are a targeted choice. The product information states that the set contains 2 glasses, made from toughened glass and suitable for the dishwasher. Do bear in mind the difference between the stated 270 ml capacity in the product name and 190 ml in the technical specifications. Always check the current product page before ordering.
That depends on the material and the product instructions. Heat-resistant borosilicate glasses are designed for hot drinks, but sudden temperature changes should be avoided. Allow boiling water to cool briefly if instructed by the manufacturer, and do not use damaged glasses.
Some models are dishwasher-safe. The Bodum CANTEEN, PAVINA and PAVINA PARIS state this in their product information. The De’Longhi DLSC311 is also described as dishwasher-safe, but not as suitable for use in the microwave or freezer. Always check the specifications for the exact version you have chosen.
Their lifespan depends on how they are used, cleaned and stored. Borosilicate glass and toughened glass are not a guarantee against breakage. Wash the glasses carefully, avoid hard knocks and do not use them if they have cracks or chipped rims. This helps prevent unnecessary replacement and keeps your glasses suitable for hot and cold drinks for longer.
