Borosilicate Glass Pitcher with Lid & Spout - 2 L / 68 oz Water Jug

It was time to retire the giant glass jar we’ve made sun tea in each year. It’s too heavy for me to manage, filled with water and tea bags now. We bought the wonderful Poliviar hot tea kettle earlier this year and a friend sent me a trio of flavors to make iced tea with (Harney and Sons Tropical Iced Teas) where you start with 2 cups hot water poured over the large teabag, wait 15 minutes and then pour 6 cups cold water in, take the tea bag out and put in fridge…iced tea. So I knew that I needed a 64 oz jar. I also needed a jar that I could pour boiling water into and later add cold water to. I also wanted a sturdy handle and a form that would fit nicely on the top shelf of my fridge. This pitcher fit the bill perfectly. It’s 68 ozs. I heated my water to 212 degrees and slowly poured 2 cups over the tea bag into the jar. I let it sit 15 minutes with no lid on it. It was still pretty hot when time to add the cold water so I added it very slowly, one cup at a time so as to not shock the jar from hot to cold immediately. It worked great, the tea bag rose to the top, I squeezed the bag and threw it away, put the lid on and put the jar in the fridge because the cold water had adequately chilled the jar by then. The lid has an open pour section and a filtered pour section if you were to put fruit or herbs in it and wanted to filter that out when pouring. I turn the lid so that no section is open while being stored in the fridge. This is that special Borosilicate glass that can take up to 500 degrees F heat. And it may be made of that thin glass but because of the diamond pattern, it’s very solid and strong. The handle is also robust and easy to hold. Lastly, it’s a nice looking pitcher! Highly reccomend!

Really nice pitcher. It's sturdier than it looks. I have 2 for tea and juice.

I got the 2 liter in 2018. Just got the 3 liter. The large opening at top is big enough for my hand for easy cleaning, I wear men's xl gloves. My 2 liter shows little signs of wear, still looks like new with regular use. Pours great.

I bought this to make sun tea. (If you don't know what this is, you put water in a glass container, Lipton tea bags, and put it on your sunny deck for the afternoon.) Thanks to COVID-19 it took about a month to get here, which is fine. I was super excited when it arrived. Its diameter is smaller for how much it holds and the metal cap is great. It's very pretty and I was really happy with it. It almost feels like a hard plastic, but it's glass. It's great for making sun tea. I went to put the pitcher in the fridge and it wouldn't fit on ANY of my shelves and I have two different models of fridge. I ended up taking one of the door shelves and lowering the shelf to get it in there. The was the only spot that where the shelves could be moved far enough apart and my other fridge, the shelves couldn't be moved far enough apart. It never crossed my mind that this might not fit into the fridge. Since I can get it in the fridge, I love the pitcher again :) Basically, if you have the room, it's great. If you don't have room, a smaller one will be better.

This is a beautiful carafe that I use to store my cold brew coffee. It is taller than I imagined but luckily my refrigerator shelves can accommodate it. The diameter is nice for me to hold as I have small hands. This is not a carafe for mixing drinks if you are needing to shake something like a protein drink. The lid is not a tight seal. It sits on top and would not seal if you are trying to shake it. My only negative feedback is the shipping. It arrived loose in a large box and was just bouncing around in there. Being glass, could have easily broken.

I recommend this pitcher. It is a little pricey, but it is light and practical. It is made of glass, which I prefer over plastic, but it is neither bulky nor heavy. It should be handled with the regular care you would use for something made of glass. I didn't think it would hold a full 2 quarts when I opened it up and saw the size, but it does! It fits perfectly in the outer door of our LG refrigerator. I ended up getting a second one. It is easy to hold and pour from. The lid fits well. It doesn't leak, and it keeps unwanted things out, allowing you to store your beverages safely. (NOTE: We use this primarily for cold beverages. We have an induction stove, so I'm not familiar with heating it on a traditional stove. I have a tea kettle better suited for that purpose anyway.)

**UPDATE 8/19/18**: So JCP Kitchen saw my review about the uneven bottom and THEY reached out to me. They apologized and explained that the item is hand blown and that sometimes these things happen. Understandable. They said they wanted to make it right and sent me another pitcher. I received the new pitcher and it’s perfect. No uneven bottom! What a great company! They took the time to reach out to me and make it right. That’s a rarity in this day and age. So I’m updating my stars from 3 to 5 because it really is a great pitcher and the customer service was awesome. I will definitely be buying other products from them knowing that I’m dealing with a reputable company with excellent customer service. **Original Review**: Bought this pitcher to make ice tea after looking at what I spend daily for it at certain coffee places. You know what I’m talking about! Pitcher arrived in one piece which is nice whenever ordering anything glass. I noticed what a lot of others have said about the thinness of the glass. Remind myself that it’s borosilicate and should still be strong. I have granite countertops so I remind myself to be careful when setting it down. I set it down and notice it’s a little wobbly. What the heck! I turn it over and there seems to be a bubble like imperfection in the bottom. Like the whole bottom wasn’t flattened fully. I can take my finger and barely pull back on the handle and it will rock backwards about 20 degrees before hitting the edge of the pitcher and then stop. It makes me nervous, wobbly glass pitcher, granite counter top, hot liquids!!! I start having the internal ‘should I send this back?’ conversation but I really hate sending stuff back, especially at this price point. So I decide to do a test run. I put the pitcher in the sink because I’m going to pour hot water in it to brew my tea and if it shatters well it’s contained at least. Pour in the hot water from the kettle and it holds, phew. I let it brew and then fill it the rest of the way with cold water. Let’s see if it’s still wobbly with the weight of the water in it? Yep, still a little wobbly but not as bad. So I decide to keep it because like I said, I hate returning things. I’ve had it for 3 weeks now and it hasn’t busted. However I dare not pour the water in it when it’s on the counter because of the wobble. I just can’t trust it. I have to be super conscious whenever I’m handling it. We’ll see how long I can keep it alive. PROS: Borosilicate glass, can pour hot liquids into it. It’s NOT plastic. The lid is snug and has a “screen” to catch tea leaves for when the odd teabag bursts. It looks very, very nice.**Updated** Excellent customer service! CONS: Imperfection in the base that makes it a bit wobbly. Wish the glass was a bit thicker. Would I buy another one, MAYBE, if I was certain that the base was flat. I really want to give this 5 stars because it does have a lot going for it but I’m going with 3 stars. **Updated** Giving it 5 stars since they sent me a new one without an imperfection and they reached out to me. It really is a great little pitcher.

I've been looking for quite some time for a 3 quart glass pitcher with a lid that wasn't in the style of a mason jar or a punch jug. This one almost, and I do mean ALMOST fit the bill. The pitcher has a very nice design and feels sturdy enough for what it is. The handle design is a bit awkwardly large given the size of the pitcher, but I don't personally mind that much. Now what is truly strange however is the lid. The lid is designed as per the description with both an "open" side as well as a "strained" side. I would imagine this is to prevent seeds or fruit from being poured along with beverages. Seems fine enough right? But wait for it. There's also a rubber gasket that ensures the lid makes a good seal with the glass. This is important for two reasons. 1. If you accidentally tip the pitcher a bit too much while picking up the pitcher or knock it over, nobody wants a mess on their hands. 2. You, ideally want to minimize the amount of air circulating from your refrigerator into the pitcher to avoid taste being effected. However, the lid is completely incapable of performing either function. In spite of the lid allowing strained, open, and what should be "closed" function; and in spite of the gasket indeed making a good seal with the pitcher, the lid is designed in such a manner that there is a gap between the lid and the pouring area on the pitcher. And not a small gap either. If for example you had lemonade in the pitcher and somebody doesn't like pulp and/or is worried about seeds, sure, you can turn the lid to the "strained" pouring setting, but it won't matter. Seeds are small enough to make it through the gap on the pitcher regardless. This of course also means that pulp will also easily make it into your glass as well. Since things of that size will easily make it through the gap, you can be certain that there isn't much air being kept from circulating into the pitcher either. As someone who was once studying to be an engineer of things, I cannot for the life of me figure out why the lid was designed the way it was. If the cap was extended a whole couple of millimeters downward into the pitcher or the pouring pathway cut into the glass simply started a couple of millimeters higher, the lid would seal off most of the air from entering/escaping the pitcher and allow the lid to function in the 3-way open/strain/closed manner that seems to have been intended. But... that's not what happened. Anywho, the pitcher will be more than fine for most. Design-wise it's a nice looking pitcher, awkward handle aside. But if you're expecting the lid to function like a lid... no dice. I might keep it since I'm pretty sure I can rig something to make the lid function like a lid, but we'll see.

Jarra de vidrio con un bonito patrón de rombos. Es alta y estrecha, se coge bien a pesar de no tener asa. Entra perfectamente en la nevera. El sistema del tapón es curioso y funciona muy bien. No se cae y tampoco se derrama el agua. Yo la meto en el lavavajillas sin la tapa, ya que es de silicona y creo que con la temperatura alta se deformaría. La usamos para el agua fría, así que no sé cómo reacciona con bebidas calientes. Muy contenta con la jarra y a mis hijos les encanta el tapón.

Après de longues recherches j'ai opté pour ce modèle. Je ne suis pas déçue. Il est très élégant et s'accorde parfaitement avec ma salle à manger. J'ai longtemps hésité avec des modèles plus design et plus moderne qui n'ont pas de hanse mais elle facilite quand même grandement les choses. Vide il est très léger c'est exactement ce que je recherchais ayant une ancienne carafe très lourde en verre épais. Le bouchon est simple d'utilisation et ne possède pas de filtre qu'il faut changer sans arrêt. Pour la solidité on verra avec le temps...

Sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto di questa caraffa. L'ho scelta per la sua eleganza e per le promesse sul materiale, e devo dire che le ha mantenute tutte. PRO: Leggerezza e Maneggevolezza: Nonostante la sua capienza, la caraffa è incredibilmente leggera. Questo la rende facile da maneggiare anche quando è piena, un aspetto fondamentale per me. Vetro Borosilicato Super-Resistente: È il suo vero punto di forza. Il vetro borosilicato è noto per la sua resistenza agli sbalzi termici (perfetta per bevande calde o fredde!) e, soprattutto, alla rottura. Si percepisce che è un materiale durevole, pur essendo sottile e raffinato. Trasparenza Immutabile (Post-Lavastoviglie): Questo è un enorme vantaggio. Ho lavato la caraffa in lavastoviglie diverse volte e la sua trasparenza è rimasta inalterata. Nessun alone, nessuna opacizzazione o patina biancastra, a differenza di altri vetri. È brillante come il primo giorno. Design Elegante: La sua linea semplice e cristallina esalta qualsiasi bevanda, rendendola ideale per servire l'acqua, tè freddo o centrifugati con frutta e aromi, trasformando un semplice servizio in un momento di stile. Se cercate una caraffa da utilizzare quotidianamente e che non richieda cure particolari (grazie alla sua resistenza e alla compatibilità con la lavastoviglie), questo modello in vetro borosilicato è la scelta perfetta. È un ottimo mix di funzionalità, durata ed estetica.

Purchased this jug purely for keeping cold water in the fridge. It’s a good size, the handle makes for easy pouring, and the lid closes off, so the water doesn’t absorb tastes or odours from the fridge. Very happy.

I have this jug for two years now and I love it. Use it daily and it didn't break yet either. Also I put it in the dishwasher without any issues (i do remove the rubber from the lid)
