The End of my Affair with Bodum Double-Wall Mugs



It occurred last week when I noticed that one of them had leaked, such that coffee remained in the air space between the two layers of glass.

I guess I'm getting clumsier as I get older because my rate of cracking these beautiful, delicate mugs has increased from never to every few months in the past year or two.

As you can see in the bookofjoe Premiere Video©®™ up top, the mug that's leaking has a hole in the inner layer of thin glass just below the handle. 

When my one remaining intact mug gives up the ghost, that will do it for me.

I'm reverting to my venerable Snow Peak double-wall titanium mugs, now over 40 [sic] years old, veterans of trekking in the Himalayas and hiking in New Zealand that work as well as the day I bought them.
