Funky gorgeous! Jan 22, 2011
By hwoarang-goatman
Never mind their heat/cold resistance or whether your hand is spared thermal discomfort. The real draw? These glasses are so groovy they belong in a space lounge, where everybody wears shiny, supa-tight spandex and wrap-around sunglasses and orders drinks with a chic hand flourish.
Some cups contain way too much glass or ceramic (resource hogs--boo, hiss), but not the CURVAs--they're surprisingly lightweight.
A word or twelve of caution, however: You'll likely spend more time gawking at your drinks than ever before. "The liiight in my liiibation! Eeet's so prettteee, my preciousss!"
Cheers, fellow space chimps! I raise my glass to you.

Stylish, solid, and practical Nov 20, 2010
By angelinaesque
When it comes to glasses there aren't really much to them. You pour the beverage in them and you drink. But it's a little different with these. I find myself using less ice. Or not worried about wrapping a towel around one of my huge mugs to keep my hands from getting burned from the hot drinks. The insulation on these glasses is amazing, plus it makes the drink cool to look at.
Been in my kitchen for a couple days and I find myself reaching for one of these each and every time. Other glasses just no longer cut it. 8oz is a perfect amount in my opinion. The glasses feel solid but all glass is fragile in its own respect so I'd still be very careful with them especially in a dishwasher environment. I love these beautiful glasses.

 Beautiful and strong, but not dishwasher safe Jan 27, 2012
By Booklover
"wrytermom"
These glasses are unique and beautiful. They do a good job keeping a drink cold. I haven't tried hot beverages in them because I use bone china mugs for that. But I did put one in the dishwasher. When I took it out, the glass had water inside the wall. Examining the glass closely, I saw that there was a tiny hole in the center of the bottom of the glass. The bottom is also slightly concave, so that water pooled there during the washing process and then drained into the inside of the tumbler. I will never get it out, so the glass is ruined.
So no more dishwasher for these glasses. I'm glad I bought several sets so that I still have enough, but I will probably try contacting the company for a replacement.

Great glassware! Aug 13, 2011
By Craig A. Kroger
"articulate"
I am very impressed with these glasses. Most insulated glassware are either taller "tumblers" and/or made out of plastic. These are actually made out of a super tough glass. Very nice and you can be assured your guests will be impressed as well when you serve up a cocktail in one of these. Highly recommend!

Functional and Fabulous Jul 28, 2011
By C. Tierney
I have been using my curva artisan series glasses for a while now and could not be happier with the purchase.
The glass seems very solid. I have some experience with double walled glasses and they often times feel very flimsy and break very easily. These glasses have stood up to the rigors of frequent usage with minimal scratching and absolutely no cracking. I use metal cocktail picks and large unusually shaped ice frequently, and where other glasses have shattered these glasses have so far been very durable. The structure of these glasses functions perfectly when it comes to hot and cold drinks. They insulate perfectly so the external layer can remain room temperature while the middle remains the temperature of the drink. This makes cold beverages warm up much more slowly and hot beverages not burn your hands.
Aesthetically these glasses leave nothing to be desired. The four different patterns offer enough diversity to keep things interesting but share a common theme which makes them truly feel like a set. I am a fledgling mixologist and the presentation some of my fancier concoctions have greatly benefited from the usage of these glasses. Layered drinks look truly stunning in these glasses. They are also the perfect size for 2 inch spherical ice cubes which can add some unique flair to any iced beverage. Additionally the unusual shapes can make molecular mixology drinks involving spherification really stand out. The different shapes and sizes help to contrast the created spheres for some truly unique cocktails.
For the cost I highly recommend these glasses.
