These are my favorite glasses of all time. I have the beverage glasses, the latte cups, the coffee cups, the espresso cups.....!!  The outside of the glasses stay cool to the touch, no matter how hot the beverage.  They look beautiful and they feel wonderful in the hand.  I have also given them as gifts, and my family loved them.  I gave them to my mother as a gift, and then SHE bought some as a gift for a friend.  They are terrific.
