Review on πŸ₯€ Bormioli Rocco Glass Frigoverre Jug: Clear 1 Liter Pitcher with Airtight Lid - Perfect for Water, Juice, Iced Coffee & Iced Tea by Alan Massey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice product but one of the two has a broken seal.

I bought two of these to make coffee cold. After comparing different sizes and volumes, this choice seemed to me the best option. It fits perfectly in the fridge and holds as much as I needed. The only criticism is the lid. Having bought two, I can compare and contrast: one of my bottles has an almost airtight lid. It seals and creates a barrier to block air access. The second jar is not sealed. No matter what I try, the dial rotates but never prints. Both appear to be identical, so I'm not sure if the problem is with the lid itself or with the plastic gasket. I've tried alternating lids/jars to see if that helps, but this lid just doesn't cover either jar. Unfortunately, by the time I found out the problem (I thought for a long time it was user error) and how much I really WANT the jar to be able to make that airtight seal, I had already used it and thrown away all the packaging materials. The jars and lids are beautiful but I'm giving one star because of the seal. I wouldn't buy it again as I don't want to risk another lid not fitting. For all other options, I'd read the comments a little better to see if other users had the same problem. Now I know that it doesn't really matter how beautiful decanters are if they don't do what you expect them to do. (At first I thought "Ahh, it doesn't matter - I'll just use them as is" but it does matter. If they aren't sealed things will go bad quicker.) Thanks for reading. To be fair I didn't give the company a chance to get it right so this star rating has nothing to do with their customer service. This is a product overview. I'm sure they would have tried to get it right but I didn't have time to go through the return process. I hope it becomes clear in the review.

Pros
  • Carafes and jugs
Cons
