According to the Internet; Polycarbonate is more heat resistant than acrylic and I wanted to move away from glass carafes. I love flowering teas, but I keep breaking pots. The coffee carafes were cheaper and I break them too. I chose this jug because it has a nice look and although it's bigger than I wanted I figured that would only make it more versatile. I've used it half a dozen times and my only complaint is that it tips over easily. If you try to transport it on a tray, or in my case a walker, it wants to fall over so there isn't much in the way of the base. I wish I could look for something shorter and stockier. This isn't a deal breaker though, I just found a basket and kitchen towel combo to hold it together. However, I deduct a star. Another reviewer mentioned that you can't make ice cream in a cylinder but I don't know why, I have it in my freezer right now. I wouldn't overfill it and had to stand in a coffee cup to keep it from tipping over. I am happy with my purchase. Arrived the next day in nice packaging. It is light and makes a robust impression. I would recommend it to a friend.
