Didn't I read somewhere these shatter and were recalled ?
Where are they "handmade by expert artisans" ?Before you post vague alarmist comments like this you should have a firm reference to the report!
Oh … here it is..Ozbargain node 122280 8th November - gosh I've got good recall !!!
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122280Touche DaveStan. Your negs retracted would be appreciated.
ah so not sure about hand made by expert artisans, but definitely need to be hand washed by users …
You do realise that there is more than one brand in the world? sigh
The bodum branded ones definately do explode, i have experienced that myself first hand.
These look similar, but never used this particular brand personally.
Discussed here:
Sooo… just from comments here on this single threat, we know that Avancer, Bodum and Kmart ones all explode.
I just called another friend who had a set of these, he confirmed they were Bodum brand. Two of the cups broke when he poured coffee into them but he didn't notice. Luckily his girlfriend noticed just before he started drinking some.
Do people really feel safe drinking out of them? I'm all up for doing risky stuff like skydiving and car racing, and I really hate all this nanny-state crap, but the idea of drinking broken glass fragments, or having a glass shatter in my mouth (which happened to me with two Avancer brand cups) is just something I'm not partial to.
the double-walled stainless steel ones with lids retail for $4 each in discount stores like go-lo.
Ok I bought about 30 of these in different sizes and the medium cups no handle 2 have explode washing them in hot water from this company.. You are not allowed to dishwasher them so doing by hand is a thrill indeed..
Gone back to solid glass and coasters.. Old school style lol..
I heard kmart sell the same quality ones if you to get a bargain to try them out..
I have the kmart ones and they are fine…..
I also have some of the avancer ones, and they too are fine.
Both do a good job, but the avancers feel more fragile.I had two Avancer cups shatter in my mouth! One cut my lip, the other cut my hand. I won't use these stupid things any more. FAR too fragile. I remember seeing them years ago and deliberately not buying them as they looked fragile, but experience at two different friends' houses proved it!
I've only used Avancer ones before, so I won't comment on any other brands.
EDIT: @andy19363 your Kmart ones might SEEM OK, but they've been recalled too!

Good find Op (+1) - but bad product (-1) so no vote from me.
Meanwhile I cop 3 negs for the public warning and DaveStan gets 3 pluses for her emotional reaction to my comment - Jeez.
Where's the love gone this xmas - I'm going to leave this GoodEarth unless I get some positive lovin'.
+1 for greenies crusade from me.

Have these ones.. dishwasher safe and no exploding in the 6 months I've been using them for.
Here we go round the round-a-bout ……
The images does not show the handle, that might be a good inclusion as the handle could make or break the overall appearance of the glass.
