Any favorite 16 oz everyday glasses?

[PeterPan]

I have 12 oz and 16 oz glasses in my kitchen, very hodgepodge because things have broken over the years. I'd like to move over to all 16 oz (or slightly larger?), probably clear and stackable. Something everyday that fits well in the hand, good for drinking water, etc. Any recommendations? 

[Carol in Cal.]

We break glasses in this household.  So when our current set gets low, we head over to the local restaurant supply store and buy a down of the kind that have 6 or 8 facets around them. Those are less breakable than most and come in large as well as small sizes.  They are clear but not stackable.  I like them.

We have been happy with Duralex Picardie.  They are hard to break, but when they do it is in a million tiny pieces (like corelle).

[Bootsie]

IKEA is my go-to for inexxpensive, stackable glassware.  

[Pawz4me]

We use Tervis. I understand people not wanting plastic, but we live in a humid area and condensation drives me batty, plus arthritis makes my hands clumsy so I need unbreakable.

[YaelAldrich]

We also use IKEA glasses.

Tervis is my all-time favorite. I have these in clear and they last quite a long time before looking “roughed up.”  I only have one of the bigger, 24-ounce ones, but it’s nice too. I just prefer the 16-ounce as my everyday drinkware. 

eta: reasons I like them:

like @Pawz4me, I don’t like my glasses to sweat. Like, I *really* can’t stand it. These won’t. I also don’t want breakage (teen boys household and they take these cups everywhere. Everywhere lol. Also, I’m one of those people that can smell that weird “wet dog” smell in real glass cups sometimes. It literally never happens in a Tervis cup. I have no idea why or what this phenomenon is🤷🏻‍♀️There’s a thread on this a few weeks back if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

I have a multi-color set of Bentley tumblers (20 ounce though) that I bought on Amazon. I think someone here recommended them as the bottoms don't puddle water in the dishwasher.  I could see they might be problematic if someone had gripping issues because they are straight sides - and not slippery but not exactly grippy either.  I appreciate the variety of colors, and it helps everyone keep track of which glass is theirs. However, when it is just the two of us, we use Tervis tumblers - again I have a mix of patterns so no confusion about which is yours. I appreciate the fact the liquid stays cooler longer and there is no outside condensation.

LOL You're right I forgot about the restaurant supply!

Ooo, I was looking at them on amazon. It seems like Crate and Barrel, lots of places sell them. So you like how they feel in your hand? Ironically, we've slowed down on the glass breakage. We used to wash a lot by hand and (shhh) dd was sort of clutzy breaking stuff. So we're stable, just stable with a hodgepodge, lol.

I think my small 8oz glasses are from there. And you're right, they're perfectly fine. I'll go see what they have these days.

Ok, I need to think about this. I like the 16oz to make sure I get enough water during the day. When I use the 12 oz, the cumulative effect over the day leaves me short on water and a bit headachy/dehydrated. I'd probably actually do really well with a 24 oz, but like y'all predicted I probably don't want plastic. But I could think about that. I could replace my hodgepodge with all 16 oz and then have 2-3 special 24 oz cups for me. They just need to be able to go in the dishwasher because I'm lazy like that.

That's hilarious. I missed that thread, lol. I don't put ice in the cup so I'm not concerned with sweating. I walk up to the spot where I use it, drink 16-24 oz, then put it down. Repeat 4-6 times during the day. 

If you drink from the side of a tervis cup, is it awkward? I don't want to use a spout or a straw.

Ooo, googling this is getting me all kinds of ideas!

[mmasc]

No, drinking from the side isn’t awkward lol. I only like the one 24-ounce because I like tons of ice, so if you aren’t using ice at all, I prefer the 16-ounce. They’re just nice glasses, imo.

The Libbey 22 oz is 1.5 pounds!!!! I'm thinking your right that something in that 16-18 oz range is more sensible. I'm also realizing I need to make sure they fit on the top rack of our dw, whew.

[prairiewindmomma]

We only drink out of glass or stainless steel. We have IKEA glssses and insulated stainless steel tumblers and water bottles.

You will appreciate that I was realizing, as I looked at these glasses, that the *sensory* is part of the issue. My 12 oz glasses have these external ribs that bug me. It makes them stack, but they also bug me. I looked through the IKEA glasses and they seemed to all max out at 15 oz. 

I'm going to think about the sensory thing some more and hold various glasses. I'm not sure if it's the ribs or the way the glasses have aged. My glasses with no ribs are super super smooth on the outside, while the glasses with the ribs have gotten kind of murky. They're probably not dramatically different in age and they all get washed in the dw, so it's some kind of difference in the quality/material. I think my paws definitely prefer smooth. I just don't know if smooth with ribs work or if it has to be completely completely smooth.

I have bought some beer glasses at IKEA before that are smooth and hold at least 16oz.  They my be called a pint glass (they are not beer mugs with a handle) and they stack.

I think this is what we have. They are good but not unbreakable. One child here insists that one of them broke just taking it out of the dishwasher. I did not witness this, so I have no idea what the circumstances were, but we ended up with glass all over the inside of the dishwasher. Though it broke in a chunkier way, and not thousands of micro shards, so that was nice.

Ours are the IKEA 365, looks like they are 15 oz.

Our previous glasses arent sold anymore. They were the nicer beer pints.

Our Ikea glasses kept breaking (they were fairly cheap, to be fair) so I switched us to 16 oz mason jars. Love them. I also have 8 oz ones for smaller drinks for kids, etc. 

[AbcdeDooDah]

Widemouth mason or Kerr jars. Been using them since childhood.

I adore my Tervis tumblers for the kids and for me because they have lids and wash up in the dishwasher so nicely!

 

For glasses, we just buy a bunch of the basic $1 glasses from Dollar Tree every so often.

We have a version of these. Which are pretty much everything you did NOT ask for, lol, but... in case you want to expand your wish list:

These are heavy-duty glass, not stackable, but with a smooth rolled glass rim that resists chipping and cracking. We have a set of 6 of the 14-oz and 8 of the 21-oz. The 21-oz is pretty heavy when filled up, so I prefer the 14-oz size. We've had them for over 35 years, and have only had to replace 2 -- 1 because I microwaved water in it and it did not like that and cracked into 2 pieces. 🫣

We got them at the local Good Will store, so not very expensive at all.

I have used these since I got married 33 years ago. They are pretty sturdy and easily replaceable. They are made by Anchor Hocking and the style is called Central Park. Walmart also carries a knock off that is exactly the same.

They stack, and we've only broken one (when it fell from the top shelf while someone was trying to grab something next to it). They come in multiple sizes, but the linked is what I primarily use.

Haha, you crack me up! You're right, I forgot to look at Williams Sonoma. And maybe the things you like and what someone else didn't, hence the donation. I will go look, thanks. 🙂
