    The PALAKS glassware is a borosilicate process like PYREX & DURALEX. IMO ..... the best quality glassware.

    Re: Palaks glasses

    So my find of my Palaks glasses in a thrift shop was not so unique after all
    I still like them very much as they feel good in the hand and easy to drink from

    At least I now know they are tempered glass

    Ill have to see if I can get some larger ones to go with my existing set.

    Re: Palaks glasses

    I got a set from Woolworths a year or so back.
    They are tempered, I found out when one hit the floor, "BANG" then all you have left is a s@#t load of small pieces

    They are good though

    Like little cubes of glass. Millions of them.
    Good to know.
    They are tempered then.
    The best thing about when they break is that the little pieces are less likely to cut you.

    Duralex glasses are notorious for that as well- especially when collected out of a warm dishwasher..Kaboom!

    My daughter just chipped one of my glasses and I looked at the bottom of it... Palaks. They havent exploded on me yet. Mine are just the right size for lattes & long blacks. I like them, just cant remember where I got them from.

    So it sounds like we will get a bit of bang for our bucks with the Palaks! Just on appearance they looked to me like they were intended for hot drinks as they are fairly thick and look strong. The shot is not all that hot and the milk is even less so - probably OK for coffee even if not Pyrex-strong. What are others thoughts?

    We have Palaks glasses for water/softdrink etc.- they were $10 for 10 at Bilo and we are on our second box. I know nothing about hardening, but I do know that when they break, they pretty much explode and shatter into a bazillion pieces. Ive never seen anything like it. :-/

    Re: Palaks glasses

    From what I have gathered from here, http://www.patricktaylor.com, Palaks is made by Pasabahce in Turkey, well known for glassware and ceramics.
    Also, Duralex is now largely owned by Turkish businessman and wholesaler, Sinan Solmaz. I cant determine if he has any connection with Pasabahce.

    Re: Palaks glasses

    This is interesting. When I bought my machine about 6mths ago I wanted some glasses for Mocchas & Lattes so I just bought a set of 4 from Woolworths for about $5. It didnt say anything on the pack about coffee or heat resistent but they looked right. I have just had another look at them and they have "Palaks" & "27" on the bottom. They are 105mm tall & hold 225ml - fine for Lattes.
    I just Googled Palaks and it threw up a couple of references for Duralex Picardy.
    So...what is the story on Palaks?

    Re: Palaks glasses

    I have 4 double shot sized Palaks I got with a Turkish stovetop I bought a while back.
    They look like yours KK only smaller.

    They also included 2 similar looking "Vetravir" made in Italy.
