Almost perfect
After spending way too much time reading reviews of glass pitchers, I concluded they were all either too small or too fragile. Then I got to thinking: if only I could turn these strong-but-cheap-and-easily-replaceable-if-I-break-them two quart mason jars that I had into pitchers somehow... and here we are.I've taken to drinking a ridiculous amount of this cold-brew tea: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ATZOAQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01 (you'll either love it or hate it if you try it, but it brews in cold water in the fridge which is very convenient). Anyway, I keep three two-quart mason jars in the refrigerator brewing this stuff at any given time. One has this flip cap thing on it. When its empty, I transfer this handle thingy onto the next one in line. Other than the minor cons listed below, this thing is perfect for my purposes. I'm glad it exists.Pros: very strong and very well made. Seals well around the jar if you tighten it even a little bit. It never leaks and I have no fear that it will unscrew by accident or that the handle will crack. The flip cap part opens easily enough, and it seals well when closed, but I wouldn't try turning it upside down (well ok, now I kinda want to try, but I expect it would just pop open if you did). UPDATE 2020-09-07: It does not pop open if you turn it upside down!Cons: the handle is hollow/open on the outside. That in itself is not an issue, but I wish they had curved the plastic in even a couple of millimeters around the hollow part, or made it touch thicker just so the edge around the hollow part could curve a bit more. That would make it more comfortable to hold when it's attached to a full 2-quart jar. Overall it's fine and easy enough to hold anyway, so this isn't worth docking it a star for, but it'd be a good improvement for the next iteration of this thing.Neutrals: if you tighten it too much, it's pretty hard to unscrew because it has a very good seal. I predict you will make this mistake once even though I warned you. When that happens, just hold the handle still with one hand, wrap your other arm around the jar, and twist the jar. Also, if you are using a square-ish mason jar, the handle will not line up perfectly with a flat side, which may look a bit awkward but it doesn't have any utilitarian consequences so I don't really care. Consider that a con if that sort of thing bugs you.I almost listed price as a con, but I realized my pricing expectations have been distorted by plastic just that gets spewed out of Chinese factories, costs almost nothing, and breaks easily. This thing seems really strong, and after a month of using it a lot (seriously, I've been drinking about 3 quarts of that tea a day for some reason even I don't understand) I don't think it's overpriced at all. I'm about to buy a second one so I have a backup just in case I do break it some day and then find out it's disappeared from the market or that the next generation of these things turn out to be poorly made.UPDATE 2020-09-07: So I managed to destroy one of these things. It died heroically. I fumbled a full 2-quart jar with this handle on it in the kitchen. It was one of those slow-motion moments where I watched it plummet towards the floor but couldn't catch it in time, and I knew I was about to spend the next 20 minutes cleaning up tea and a million shards of glass. But it landed upside-down, right on top edge of the plastic, which acted as a shock absorber. A 2-inch piece of the plastic broke off the side, but somehow the glass jar did not break and the cap stayed sealed enough that nothing even spilled out! Not bad considering how heavy the full jar was. The cap would not stay on tightly anymore though, so I had to throw it away (except for the silicone seal which I kept as a spare). I replaced it with three new ones, which if I'm careful should be a lifetime supply.

Perfect Glass Pitcher – Sturdy, Easy to Use, and Easy to Clean! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
love this glass mason jar pitcher! The 8-quart size is perfect, and I really like the plastic screw-on lid with the handle and flip top—it makes pouring super easy. Cleaning is simple too since the opening is wide enough to fit your hand in and scrub. Because it’s glass, I don’t have to worry about chemicals like with plastic pitchers.I mostly use mine for mixing 2 cups of sugar with 8 cups of water (4:1 ratio)—it fits the recipe exactly, which makes it so convenient. This has been the longest-lasting glass pitcher I’ve owned, and I highly recommend it!

So perfect for cold brew coffee, I'm buying another!
I prefer to make my cold brew coffee in a larger jar, then transfer it to smaller, easier to work with bottles/jars that have a tighter seal to keep it fresh. I've been looking for a simple pitcher like this for *months*. I needed more of a seal than a simple metal or plastic lid could offer, but didn't need anything that could preserve it for months at a time (coffee would never last that long in my house anyway!). I bought just one of these, honestly expecting to be disappointed and need to continue my search, but y'all it works *so* well.I was worried that the plastic handle would be flimsy and break if I ever filled the jar past halfway - it's not at all. It's very sturdy and I don't notice any "give" at all, when pouring.I was worried that the flip-top opening would be nothing more than a plastic cover, that it would function more to keep stuff from falling in than to keep anything inside from leaking out. Wrong again; it is plastic, but something about the design of it almost feels like it's sealing it off. I can turn it completely upside-down and have no leaks.It's easy to clean because it's just a wide-mouth jar and a simple lid.It's even the perfect size; my brewing jar is a full gallon, which is awkward and cumbersome. But with this, I only need 2 jars per batch. It's just small enough to easily pour my coffee and fit in the fridge anywhere, but big enough that I don't have 10 million little jars to fill and clean every time I make another batch. Seriously - best purchase I've made in a long time!

Great option
I bought this blindly, having no idea what I really needed or was looking for other than a pourable lid with handle. Now that I have this product and have used it for a few months, I know that it isn't perfect, but I am happy with it. My lid is being used on a half gallon glass Mason jar. I use it for my cold brew coffee. When I pick the jar up out of the fridge I feel I cant trust the handle on this lid. Between the weight of the mason jar and the coffee/liquid inside, I don't trust that the plastic handle will hold up long term. So I pull it out of the fridge and support the bottome with one hand while holding the handle with the other. Once at the counter to pour my coffee, I do just use the handle and don't necessarily support the whole jar. So far so good, it's held up longer than I expected (six months or so) without breaking so I guess I can stop worrying it will break under the weight? Maybe?But the lid is easy to screw on and off, it doesn't leak and is easy to clean. I only hand wash mine, so I can't say if it holds up well in a dish washer.My only complaint is that when the pop top is open and I pour, I need to hold the pop part open otherwise it will close on the liquid I'm trying to pour out. It would be nice if the pop top could stay open without having to hold it open while pouring. But that is a minor inconvenience at most.
