Bodum's PAVINA Double Wall Tumbler Set

As part of their collection of double wall items, Bodum has manufactured the PAVINA Double Wall Tumbler Set (Item #: 4558-10), which can be especially useful for all of your hot beverages during the winter season.

Bodum's Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glasses

Bodum is the creator of an abundant amount of double wall glasses that enhance the function of an ordinary mug by keeping the liquid contents at their ideal temperature for a longer period of time, and their Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glasses (Item #: 4559-10) will do just that.

These Bodum glasses are made of extremely durable borosilicate glass, which is a strong material that is heat resistant, and actually weighs less than traditional type glass. Also, borosilicate glass is even stronger than ordinary soda-lime glass, and is used in products such as drinkware and cookware; borosilicate glass replaces the soda and lime with boron oxide, which acts as a glue that solids the silicate together. The particles of this glass are held together more tightly than most conventional glasses, which leaves you with a stronger and more durable glass that is rather thin. This set of Bodum glasses hold 12 ounces of liquid, are transparent in color, and are safe to put in both the dishwasher and microwave for easy cleaning and use.

The Bodum Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glasses (set of 2) retails on SmallAppliance for the reduced price of $19.95.
