Review on PunPun Double Wall Insulated Glass Espresso Cups: Set Of 2 Demitasse And Iced Coffee Cups by Brandon Christianson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Keeps coffee hot for a long time. Nice looking, too!

I got these because I was tired of my coffee being luke warm before I finish it. I don't gulp it down, so it was always getting unpleasantly cool before I'd finish it. Vacuum mugs like the Contigo are effective, and great for use in the car, but I don't like the aesthetic. Moreover, coffee actually has a different, and better, taste when sipped from a glass or ceramic mug.These really do the job. Coffee stays hot to the last drop. Amazingly so. On the outside of the mug, you'd never guess the coffee is still hot, because it is cool to the touch. Nice big handles too, which I like.The glass is light weight and feels quite fragile, but I haven't had a problem in normal use. I didn't assume they would be unbreakable, and any of the mugs I was using would break if dropped. These have fared quite well in the dishwasher and microwave. After brewing a cup, I add a splash of cream and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to get it all good and hot. I was worried that the design of these wouldn't allow for that, but the listing said it would and I can vouch for that as well.An added benefit is being able to see the beautiful java in the cup (as well as being able to tell at a glance how much is left in the cup!). Happy with my purchase, and mindful that they need to be treated with a bit of care, as befits an elegant coffee cup!

Pros
  • The cups are resistant to scratches and cracks, ensuring they stay in great condition
Cons
  • The glass becomes slippery when wet
