A year after we received 4 of these as a gift, we only have 1 left. We tried to be very careful with them, but 3 of them still broke. I'd pass on these unless you are capable of being EXTRA careful (handwashing, no spoons to stir inside, and be VERY careful with ice cubes). They do keep my coffee warmer a lot longer, and even when I reheat it in the microwave, the outside wall stays cool. That's a really nice feature. They also look cool. Still, I'd never buy a product like this again. Sorry Bodum, nice try.

Why is the ice sitting in the bottom of the liquid? What kind of liquid is that?

I used to own a coffee shop in the Chicago suburbs. I'm currently working for a contractor in Iraq. To say that I enjoy my espresso is an understatement. I have a small espresso setup in my office that I share with 3 other workers. I have had 4 of these bodum, 2oz shot glasses for over a year. They are fairly sturdy and have held up well. One was stolen, so I can't vouch that its still intact. The other three are still going strong. We make espresso around twice a day, using intelligensia beans.(Also on Amazon) Again. I have heard of problems with fragility with the larger glasses. Its simply not the case with these smaller shot glasses. We have used them very hard in a tough environment with no special care aside from hand washing. They look great and perform beautifully.
