A glass for coffee, tea and soft drinks sounds convenient, but not every model is suitable for all three. Some drinking glasses are designed only for cold drinks. Others have two walls but a small capacity, making them less practical for everyday use. Claims about dishwasher safety and heat resistance are not always clearly stated either.
With this guide, you can compare double-walled glasses, thermal glasses and ordinary glasses based on verifiable features. This helps you avoid a disappointing purchase and choose a glass set that suits how you use it at home.
A glass can look modern or have a ‘floating’ appearance without the manufacturer providing clear information about the material or its suitability for hot drinks. Check whether it genuinely has a double wall and which type of glass has been used.
The product descriptions for several Bodum models state that they are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass. According to Bodum’s product information, the double-wall construction is designed to keep hot drinks hot for longer and cold drinks cold for longer. This is a product claim made by the brand, not a guarantee that a drink will remain at a fixed temperature.
A capacity of 450 or 480 ml is useful for water, soft drinks and cocktails, but may be too large for a small coffee or espresso. For coffee, tea and hot chocolate, capacities of around 80 to 270 ml are often more practical. Don’t just look at the appearance; also consider the capacity per glass.
Always check the care instructions. Some glasses can go in the dishwasher, while other models must be washed by hand. Double-walled glasses may also have a silicone valve or opening on the base. According to Bodum’s product information, this component helps regulate the air pressure between the walls, but it still requires careful handling.
Borosilicate glass is known as a heat-resistant type of glass and is used for several thermal glasses. This does not mean that every glass can withstand every temperature change. For example, do not pour a boiling-hot drink into an ice-cold glass, and always check the stated limits.
Ordinary glasses are often perfectly suitable for water, juice and cocktails, but are not automatically suitable for hot drinks. According to the product information, the Secret de Gourmet Gaspard glasses are recommended for cold drinks and drinks at room temperature. They are not suitable for hot or boiling liquids.
Consider the combination of capacity and size:
A straight tumbler is easy to stack and suitable for everyday use. A ribbed or twisted outer wall can provide extra grip, but may take up more space in a kitchen cupboard.
Look for clear information about:
According to Bodum’s own product information, several PAVINA, CANTEEN and SKÅL models are suitable for use in the dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer, with a stated upper limit of approximately 176 to 180 °C, depending on the model. Always check the product page for the specific version.
Why it suits this profile: A compact set for anyone who wants to start using double-walled drinking glasses without immediately buying six. The 270 ml capacity is suitable for coffee, tea, soft drinks and cocktails.
The product description states the material, double-wall construction and care instructions. This means you don’t have to rely on the design alone.

Why it suits this profile: Suitable for anyone who needs several small glasses for coffee, tea, cocoa, cocktails or cold desserts. The set of six is ideal for everyday use and entertaining.
The 200 ml capacity is clearly suited to smaller portions. The product description also explicitly mentions use with hot and cold drinks.

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.
A double wall can make the outside feel less cold. According to Bodum’s own product description, the construction helps to limit condensation. However, the result depends on the temperature of the drink, the surroundings and the specific model. Therefore, do not treat the term condensation-free glasses as a guarantee.
This varies from product to product. Bodum states that several PAVINA and CANTEEN models are dishwasher-safe. Also check the advice regarding the silicone valve and avoid hard knocks when loading the dishwasher. An ordinary glass model may only be suitable for hand washing.
Their lifespan depends mainly on careful handling, temperature changes and cleaning. According to the product information, borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, but no glass is unbreakable. Allow a glass to reach room temperature first, avoid sudden temperature changes and stop using any damaged glass. This reduces the risk of breakage and helps your glass set last longer.
