Question 1

Is there a glass mug on the planet that doesn't have horrible reviews regarding lack of durability of the glass?

Accepted Answer

I purchased these Bodum coffee mugs back in 2008/2009 and they are still going strong in 2021.  I have broken two, the first one I dropped on my granite counter top and the second one I accidentally dropped my mental sugar spoon in, and it punctured the first wall sending the coffee into the empty space between the two.  Both were my fault.  For some reason way back when I purchased mine, I recall reading that you should only wash these in the dishwasher as you are more likely to crack one while washing it by hand - not sure if that still holds true but I have not had any trouble with cleaning them in the dishwasher.  I also have the regular double wall beverage glasses in three different sizes and have never had any trouble with those either.  Those are a bit older as I purchased them prior to my mugs.  All this being said, here is what I do not know... sometimes companies come out with a fantastic design and then after the sale of their product is successful they will start cutting corners to continue to make a profit.  Couple examples, Dyson vacuum cleaners used to be phenomenal and now they are crap, the T3 hair dryers would be another, the first one I purchased lasted 10 years, and the second one I purchased at a similar price point barely lasted 2 years.  Not sure if this is the case here since I have never had to replace any of my Bodum glasses yet.

Question 2

Are the 10oz mugs compatible with an Aeropress?

Accepted Answer

I've been using Bodum's 10 oz coffee mugs with my Aeropress for a decade now, it's a perfect fit for pressing. While I've broken many a Bodum mug, it's never been from the Aeropress press and at 6'3" 250 lb, I press hard. No worries whatsoever.

Question 3

"Bodum" and patent information is painted on the bottom of the mug; does the white paint have lead?  Tamara Rubin cautions the shopper about this.

Accepted Answer

I have no idea, It’s on the outside of the mug and doesn’t come into contact with the liquid in the mug.

Question 4

Do these cups dribble coffee after each sip?

Accepted Answer

I don’t know. I received the cups broken. Too thin and not a good cup for microwave.
