Frigoverre Pitcher 2 Litre Review

Frigoverre Pitcher 2 Litre
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are great refrigerator pitchers for two main reasons:
1.) They are heavy duty glass, so unlike plastic they will not absorb flavors, odors and colors from what you put in them.
2.) They have a hermetic seal, so the flavor of your product stays in while other refrigerator odors stay out. Definitely a fresher taste for a longer duration. These are great for milk. (I can't stand those plastic jugs and the milk in glass jars at the grocery is just too expensive to buy every time.)
In response to one reviewer: Regarding the seal, there is actually a trick to sealing it properly. If you just place the lid on the container it will probably not seal. If you hold the outside of the lid and twist the middle handle in the proper direction (it is marked "CLOSE" on the lid) then you will end up with a perfectly tight seal. If you do not hold the outside while doing this, the entire lid may spin and will not seal, you need the outer edge of the lid to stay in place - so hold it there with your fingertips while you twist the top.
It is actually very easy once you understand the concept. Hold the outside, twist the top.Now for the minor down-side: These do measure in LITERS, not quarts or gallons as most Americans are used to so adjustments to recipes would have to be made and you may have to use more than one pitcher if transferring gallons & such. I have spent so much money searching for a worthy refrigerator pitcher and never did find one. I came across these Italian imports for only $4.99 and $7.99 each at the C*ntainer St*re and I am going to buy more for sure.
Also, one reviewer mentioned that it was difficult to grasp the handle. I have large hands for a female and I can still manage to hold it easily, but my fiance who is 6'4" and 240 lbs. complained about the handle as well. Just be careful while holding it, I think they are still the best ever!
I will definitely recommend these to my friends & family.

Camlite Decanter Half Liter Review

This was in the Amazon category called "Glass Pitchers and Carafes". I received the order immediately, however the carafe is not made of glass - it's plastic. I'm sure it will work fine, but I was expecting glass - not plastic.

Bormioli Rocco 3.87540/2M Glass Measuring Pitcher with Lid Review

Bormioli Rocco 3.87540/2M Glass Measuring Pitcher with Lid

This pitcher/measuring cup is quite useful; the handle is large and very comfortable, and the pouring spout is actually a spout, instead of a small depression in the edge - as most are, and so it pours without the liquid running down the front of it. The soft plastic lid seals tight enough to use it as a shaker. The only improvement it needs is to be a 4-cup, instead of a 3-cup pitcher. Otherwise, it is an excellent buy.

*****
I ordered 6 of these and so made the shipping problem described in another review not applicable. The vendor does charge a lot for shipping and handling, but if you order multiple items, it works out great, because most of the shipping is probably handling---in other words, if you ordered 6 pitchers, the shipping and handling is only $9.99! Also the pitchers are very sturdy and heavy, which I wanted.
These pitchers fit beautifully on the inside door of my refrigerator. They don't leach chemicals into my beverages, either. They take up very little space (they are squared not rounded so they fit well all lined up) and are attractive. If you are looking for a healthy option to plastic, this is it. They also have a nice snug lid to keep things fresh. The lid can be turned to an "open" position like many pitchers so that the lid doesn't have to be removed to pour.
The pitchers are attractive and not chinsy-looking like plastic pitchers. Buy more than one not only to save on shipping and handling, but because you'll want more for sure!

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid Review

Hi,
If you are looking for a medium sized pitcher with good looks and functionality, this is the pitcher for you. Continue reading below for my pros and cons regarding the Bormioli Chiller.
Pros:
*The chiller looks very nice. It's compact and easily fits in the second shelf in my fridge
*Hard glass; definitely made of quality glass--not the cheap ones that seem like they'll break with a slight tap of your nails.
*Ice Container is a very nice feature. Fill the plastic tube with as many ice cubes as will fit; your drinks will be cold w/out being watery
*Drinks pour our easily w/out spilling unto your floors or whereever else, just be careful not to pour too fast or naturally it'll spill
Cons:
*As advertised, the components are plastic, i.e the white lid cover, stirrer (I recall one reveiwer mentioning they never received it, well it was supplied with the pitcher)and plastic ice tube.
*unlike the good quality glass, i felt the plastic was cheap and flimsy; guess you can't have everything in one product
*Handle is short and I wish it was longer
Overall I gave this pitcher a 4 b/c of the cons and also b/c it appeared larger in the picture or maybe it was me. In any case, this is a great picher for a single person or very small family. I definitely recommend buying this and keeping your drinks cold this summer! Enjoy.

Ideal for icy cold lemonade, refreshing sweet tea, and more, this 72-3/4-ounce pitcher offers a stylish way to serve up perfectly chilled beverages with graceful ease. The unit's thick glass construction ensures durability and long-lasting beauty, while its ergonomic, integrated handle and built-in pour spout make it simple to carry and dispense. Transparent for quick identification and lovely display of its contents, the unique pitcher features an innovative vertical tube that prevents ice from diluting beverages. To use, simply fill the pitcher with liquid and the tube with cubed or crushed ice. Attach the tube to the lid, and insert the tube and lid into the pitcher to hold beverages at the optimal temperature for consumption--without the splashes, spills, and watered-down flavor caused by melting ice. Best of all, the pitcher and its corresponding plastic lid and stirring stick can be placed in the dishwasher (top rack recommended) for thorough cleaning between uses. Made in Italy, the chiller pitcher arrives packed in a gift-worthy box and measures approximately 6-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.

Very nice, heavy glass, keeps milk cold, but as stated the lid is cheesy plastic that dribbles, and in addition does not seal the contents in any way. All it does is cover most of the mouth. I had hoped for better.

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar Review

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These carafes are like artwork in the refrigerator. The acrylic jar is sturdy and easy to handle even when full.
Washing has not been a problem as long as the contents aren't allowed to dry (meaning rinse it out as soon as it becomes empty).
The worst part about this product is the lid. The flip-top lid does not stay open unless it's pushed all the way back. Then, when pouring, the contents splashes because there's no vent hole in the lid. Lastly, the shape of the lip on the lid causes a small, but very noticeable amount of liquid to remain on the lid, which unfortunately turns into a gross and crusty mess very quickly. I would recommend keeping a towel or rag near-by to wipe off the lid after each use.
Update - 3 months after purchase
I purchased several of these carafes and in just 3 months one has been discarded because it cracked on the bottom and began to leak, while all the others have developed cracks in the neck. I would strongly recommend against purchasing this product for refrigerated liquids.
It seems to be more well suited as a serving container that will be used for an event and then emptied before being stored.
