Double-walled glasses are available for coffee, tea, water, beer and other drinks. The two-layer glass construction can reduce heat transfer to your hand and limit condensation forming on the outside of cold drinks. However, thermal glasses vary considerably in capacity, care requirements, materials and manufacturing details.
If you decide based solely on design or a low price, you can easily overlook important features. Three common buying misconceptions are particularly relevant:
Many double-walled drinking glasses are made from borosilicate glass. This type of glass is designed for use with different temperatures and is often used for coffee and tea glasses. However, the material specification alone does not mean that a glass is suitable for every temperature.
Check the following before buying:
A product may be suitable for hot drinks without being approved for use on hobs or in conventional ovens. For example, the double-walled beer glasses from Secret de Gourmet are stated to have a temperature range of -20 °C to 150 °C. At the same time, avoiding extreme changes is recommended, such as moving the glasses directly from the freezer into boiling water.
The size should suit the way you actually drink. Common sizes for double-walled glasses include:
A 2-piece glass set is suitable for a household with occasional requirements or as a gift. A 6-piece glass set is more practical for families, regular hosts and everyday use. As well as capacity, consider the height and diameter to ensure the glasses fit in kitchen cupboards, under your bean-to-cup coffee machine and in the dishwasher.
Double-walled glasses have an insulating gap between the two layers of glass. The transition area on the base is therefore an important part of the construction. The double-walled beer glasses described above have a small sealing point there. This should not be scratched or damaged. If moisture enters the gap, the insulating effect may be impaired.
Also look out for:
For products with EU conformity information, references to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended to come into contact with food may be relevant. This information should relate to the individual product and should not automatically be applied to all glasses.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Even dishwasher-safe thermal glasses should not be treated carelessly. If specified, use a gentle programme and avoid harsh cleaning products. When washing by hand, a soft sponge and mild washing-up liquid are sufficient. Abrasive cleaners, wire wool and stiff brushes can scratch the glass surface.
Do not place double-walled glasses straight from the freezer into very hot water. Allow them to reach room temperature first. Damaged glasses with cracks, chips or noticeable changes in the gap between the walls should no longer be used.
Many models are designed for hot and cold drinks. However, the specific manufacturer’s information about the material and temperature range is what matters. Hot liquids should be poured in slowly. Direct and significant temperature changes should be avoided.
Some models, including certain Bodum PAVINA PARIS glasses, are described as dishwasher-safe. This information may be missing for other products. Always check the relevant product page and follow any instructions regarding a gentle dishwasher cycle.
Their service life depends on the material, construction, cleaning and handling. Borosilicate glass is designed to withstand temperature differences, but it remains susceptible to breakage from drops and hard impacts. Careful cleaning and avoiding extreme temperature changes can help extend its usable life.
