Aofmee Glass Pitcher with Lid and Handle, Glass Water Pitchers, 2 Liter

After years of drinking soda I have switched to iced tea. This has brought about a journey to figure out how to inexpensively make tea at home. I started with a smaller glass container and used smaller tea bags. The previous pitcher I tried was a 68 ounce square container (which is 2 Liters equivalent). You'll see it in my reviews. It was a nice size and sturdy but there were some issues. One, the lid wasn't great and the seal stained. Two, it was very heavy. Three, I couldn't add hot water to it. Four, it had a big footprint in the fridge for a smaller size. 2 liters was not enough for a whole day of drinking tea. So I kept looking and found this Aofmee 81 oz glass pitcher. Details: - Pitcher is 81 oz. This is larger than 2 liters. But 60% the size of a gallon or 2.5 quarts. or 2.4 liters I don't know why they settled on 81 oz. for this container, I suspect they let the dimensions decide the size. Just calculate for 10 cups (10 x 8 oz) - Pitcher weights 5.1 pounds EMPTY. This is much lighter than my other one that was smaller. But keep in mind that 81 oz of water weighs over 5.2 pounds. So that means you're at 10 pounds when this is full. That is more than the weight of a full plastic gallon container. Pouring from 10 pounds can be wobbly so probably not good for those that have weak arm or hand strength. - That being said, this container was an improvement over the previous glass one for a few reasons. The glass seemed thinner but it was sturdy. - Handle feels very sturdy when pouring, does not feel like it will break in my hands - The lattice like texture is very nice. It feels nice and looks nice. I prefer it to the smooth alternatives. - It has a wide mouth that is easy to clean - It came with a free bottle scrubby for cleaning it - The lid is excellent. It has a straining opening or a nonstraining opening. It fits in there tight. The plastic gasket does not stain. It does not leak when pouring. It is easy to put on and take off. - Most Important: this glass is made from borosilicate glass. This means you can add hot water up to 300* to it! I couldn't do this with the other plastic pitcher I tried and I can't do it with the plastic pitcher I tried (safely). - It says it can be heated directly on the burner gas stove. I have not tried this. It does not fit into my microwave because of the height. But you can pour boiling (212*F) hot water directly in with no problem. Because of the weight of this pitcher and the fluid weight, I recommend always keeping one hand underneath to help support the weight when pouring. The seller does mention that in transport about 1% may break and so reach out to them if it arrives broken and they will send you a new one. The pitcher is 10.2 inches tall. I will post a picture of it next to my 1 gallon pitcher to show size. Because this pitcher was not 1 GALLON, I was wasting tea bags since I found the 1 gallon Lipton tea bags are great. If you use smaller tea bags, or use this for something else, there's no issue. I think this is the best large glass pitcher out there. It is lightweight but sturdy. Has a great lid. Easy to clean. Easy to pour. Looks beautiful. I still use this pitcher to brew my tea with my big tea bags, but then I transfer it to a gallon plastic pitcher and add water. I believe a 1 gallon glass pitcher is prohibitively heavy for most people so that is why I added in the plastic pitcher for my sweet tea journey. There are reviews of this cracking when hit on surfaces. It is glass, so that is to be expected. This is sturdy and strong and can handle boiling water but at the end of the day it is still made of GLASS. It isn't for kids or those that are rough with things. I am really pleased with it and would have been perfectly happy with it forever except that I needed a larger size for my tea bag brew since the large tea bag made 1 gallon. But if you use individual tea bags this would be perfect as long as you can handle the weight and caution that comes with glass. It is by far the prettiest of the pitchers I have. You could put it on the table with ice water or lemonade and it would be impressive.

I bought two at different times. Overall very happy with this product. Fits great in my kitchen cabinets. The 60 ounce capacity is more than enough I need. The lid fits securely and cleans up nicely with the sponge brush provided. Love the color handle, adds a nice touch. Pretty sturdy and well made.

Love the glass pitcher, provides a lot of refreshment for lots of people, sturdy and beautiful with a great lid for catching seeds from lemons, ice cubes etc !!!

Love this glass pitcher. I’ve been switching everything from plastic containers to glass since continuous warnings of plastic being so bad. The size is perfect so that you don’t go through it so quick and have to keep on refilling it right away. There are measurement markings on the side as well, and it still looks very aesthetic and nice. I like to make extra large chunks of ice to put into it and the wide opening definitely allows for that. The top is fine - not super tight but definitely works. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is due to the handle - it works and is fine, but in my mind when the pitcher is full, it seems extremely heavy, almost like the handle might not be enough or thick enough to hold the pitcher . It would be perfect if it was just a big thicker to grasp when grabbing a full container.

The size and appearance is great and it is glass The only thing I don’t like is the handle it is thin not thick thinking it is not strong enough when you lift it full of the liquid

I have been looking for a glass gallon pitcher and this one is perfect. It fits nicely in the refrigerator and we use it for iced tea, water, or lemonade. Versatile and the lid is great with two different pour openings. The glass is thick and stable. Great pitcher.

This had me a little nervous as the thickness of the glass. It isnt very thick. But so far, it has help up to the weight of the liquid. It looks very nice and is a good quality, despite first impression.

The glass is fragile

La caraffa è davvero molto bella. Oltre al fatto che si può far scaldare direttamente sul piano cottura, è esteticamente bella e fa bene il suo lavoro. Il tappo ha due uscite per il liquido: una normale ed una filtrante che ho provato con il tè in foglie e che ha filtrato tutto! È molto capiente, 2 litri; sono segnati i "ml" per misurare la quantità di liquido e l'accessorio per pulire risulta utile. Oltretutto il prezzo è contenuto per una caraffa così capiente. Il pacco è arrivato integro, molto ben confezionato e protetto.

I like it

Es una jarra genial, no esta fabricada con un cristal muy grueso pero no te da la sensación de que vaya a romperse en la mano ni nada de eso. La tapadera tiene una abertura para que salga el agua de forma normal, y una parte perforada que sirve de filtro cuando sirves té o cualquier infusión o zumo que tiene hojas, pulpa o lo que sea. Muy fácil de limpiar (viene con su esponjita y todo) y muy chula. Supercontento.

Très jolie carafe en verre au design très chic qui nous sert pour l'eau avec un bec verseur très utile et le couvercle hermétique en inox possédant deux ouvertures dont une normale et l'autre filtrante pour contrôler le débit et si on fait de la sangria ou du thé.

Only feels fragile
