Quality pitcher for my iced coffee
I got this pitcher primary for iced coffee, which is my go to morning beverage. I've been making a single cup of iced coffee every night due in some part to space limitations in my refrigerator, so when I finally did a huge clean out I'd been putting off including re-arranging some things, I was able to make room for this 64 ounce pitcher. It's big (and very heavy when full) but not so big that it takes over my fridge. I'm loving having several days worth of coffee and the pitcher is perfect for my needs.The glass on this is thick and feels very well made. I don't want to kid myself into thinking this is unbreakable or anything, but it truly does feel sturdy and I love that it doesn't feel at all fragile as glass goes. While the lid is plastic, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this and how securely the lid/handle screws on to the jar. I was glad to find this with a black lid as it matches many of my kitchen accessories. That may not be important to most people, but it's a little thing that I appreciate since this is something I'm using basically every morning.This comes with an O-ring seal to make it leakproof (plus an extra ring, which was a nice bonus. It passed my test of (very carefully ; ) holding it upside down and shaking it while mostly filled, no drips or leaks.I always put one hand under this when I'm grabbing it from the fridge or putting it back just to be extra safe since we've had a few scary glass breakage situations in our household. But as long as I don't do something dumb like not thread the lid properly when I screw it on, I 'm confident that both the plastic lid and the glass bottle are strong and durable to hold up to even every day use with no issues.I didn't even realize this had measurement markings on the glass when I ordered it, but they've already come in handy for me while I was making my coffee. Sometimes I use ground instant cold brew coffee, but the great thing about this is that I can use it for the "bean bag" style of cold brewed coffee that I love as well since the mouth of the jar is large enough to accommodate the coffee bags that you soak overnight. I think it'd be great for plenty of other beverages as well and if just feels like a major upgrade over a pitcher made entirely of plastic.
