Review on 68 Ounce Glass Pitcher with Lid - Heat-Resistant Water Jug for Hot/Cold Water, Ice Tea, and Juice Beverages by Jorge Eckstein

We have been using the 270ml glass jug happily for almost four months now. I've put my review on hold to ensure this jug is reliable and truly heat resistant enough to withstand almost everyday use. When our last discount store double wall jug started warping from spilled boiling water I was apprehensive about buying it after reading some of the negative reviews. The good news is that this is the best large pitcher we've had for brewing large batches of herbal tea! My husband and I bring Kleen Kanteens Herbal Iced Tea to work every day. Most evenings I brew 5 tea bags with 64 ounces of boiling water in this pitcher that sits on a stand. I let it sit for 30-60 minutes before swiping it into the fridge to keep it warm the next morning. The pitcher takes this just as well as any Pyrex - no cracks, nicks or leaks. The spout pours without drips or streaks. The flat metal lid has a rubber seal that won't leak when the tea stand is underneath (common sense). The lid has two filling options: an open rectangle on one side and a strainer on the opposite side. Its mouth is wide enough to soak and take out tea bags and wash hands. We accidentally knocked the jug onto the granite countertop and into the sink. It's not damaged at all. There may be a percentage of wastage with this product, but we were lucky with the perfect pot. Some other aspects to consider: the jug is lightweight, yet ergonomic and stylish; Fill line for cap is 64 oz (not 68); The pitcher arrived in a plain white box with a UPC tag, packaged as a wholesale purchase rather than a retail purchase.
