Water Pitcher, 100 Oz Glass Pitcher, Pitcher with Lid, Iced Tea Pitcher with 304 Stainless Steel Lid and Spout, Heat Resistant Jug for Sun Tea, Water Carafe for Cold or Hot Beverage Serveware Juice

After years of drinking soda I have switched to iced tea. This has brought about a journey to figure out how to inexpensively make tea at home. I started with a smaller glass container and used smaller tea bags. The previous pitcher I tried was a 68 ounce square container (which is 2 Liters equivalent). You'll see it in my reviews. It was a nice size and sturdy but there were some issues. One, the lid wasn't great and the seal stained. Two, it was very heavy. Three, I couldn't add hot water to it. Four, it had a big footprint in the fridge for a smaller size. 2 liters was not enough for a whole day of drinking tea. So I kept looking and found this Aofmee 81 oz glass pitcher.Details:- Pitcher is 81 oz. This is larger than 2 liters. But 60% the size of a gallon or 2.5 quarts. or 2.4 liters I don't know why they settled on 81 oz. for this container, I suspect they let the dimensions decide the size. Just calculate for 10 cups (10 x 8 oz)- Pitcher weights 5.1 pounds EMPTY. This is much lighter than my other one that was smaller. But keep in mind that 81 oz of water weighs over 5.2 pounds. So that means you're at 10 pounds when this is full. That is more than the weight of a full plastic gallon container. Pouring from 10 pounds can be wobbly so probably not good for those that have weak arm or hand strength.- That being said, this container was an improvement over the previous glass one for a few reasons. The glass seemed thinner but it was sturdy.- Handle feels very sturdy when pouring, does not feel like it will break in my hands- The lattice like texture is very nice. It feels nice and looks nice. I prefer it to the smooth alternatives.- It has a wide mouth that is easy to clean- It came with a free bottle scrubby for cleaning it- The lid is excellent. It has a straining opening or a nonstraining opening. It fits in there tight. The plastic gasket does not stain. It does not leak when pouring. It is easy to put on and take off.- Most Important: this glass is made from borosilicate glass. This means you can add hot water up to 300* to it! I couldn't do this with the other plastic pitcher I tried and I can't do it with the plastic pitcher I tried (safely).- It says it can be heated directly on the burner gas stove. I have not tried this. It does not fit into my microwave because of the height. But you can pour boiling (212*F) hot water directly in with no problem.Because of the weight of this pitcher and the fluid weight, I recommend always keeping one hand underneath to help support the weight when pouring. The seller does mention that in transport about 1% may break and so reach out to them if it arrives broken and they will send you a new one.The pitcher is 10.2 inches tall. I will post a picture of it next to my 1 gallon pitcher to show size.Because this pitcher was not 1 GALLON, I was wasting tea bags since I found the 1 gallon Lipton tea bags are great. If you use smaller tea bags, or use this for something else, there's no issue. I think this is the best large glass pitcher out there. It is lightweight but sturdy. Has a great lid. Easy to clean. Easy to pour. Looks beautiful. I still use this pitcher to brew my tea with my big tea bags, but then I transfer it to a gallon plastic pitcher and add water. I believe a 1 gallon glass pitcher is prohibitively heavy for most people so that is why I added in the plastic pitcher for my sweet tea journey.There are reviews of this cracking when hit on surfaces. It is glass, so that is to be expected. This is sturdy and strong and can handle boiling water but at the end of the day it is still made of GLASS. It isn't for kids or those that are rough with things. I am really pleased with it and would have been perfectly happy with it forever except that I needed a larger size for my tea bag brew since the large tea bag made 1 gallon. But if you use individual tea bags this would be perfect as long as you can handle the weight and caution that comes with glass.It is by far the prettiest of the pitchers I have. You could put it on the table with ice water or lemonade and it would be impressive.

I purchased two of these pitchers in April. They fit in my fridge door nicely, and hold a decent amount of tea or juice.The top fits well. Is it leak proof, no, but it keeps the contents in. If it gets caught on one of my refrigerator shelves, it does pop out and I then have to replace the lid. Not the end of the world, but can be annoying when you just want to get back to your dramedys.When I got these, and I see this question frequently, the handle felt light. It is not a sturdy handle, I work in the food industry and I know how a handle should feel. In fact, one handle has already cracked at the seam. I would like to enact the warranty, but can't find who to contact for that.If you do not use a pitcher frequently, and only use it for special occasions or company, this is the pitcher for you. If you use one everyday such as I do, I might recommend getting one with a stronger handle and sturdier jug portion.

I love my new ice tea pitcher!I get about 48 ounces of water simmering right on the stove,the. remove from heat & add 2 teabags (I put the teabag strings right through the lid to hold the bags in place),let sit for a while,add ice to top it off (up to the full 68 ounces), let cool (and remove the tea bags).Once it's cool enough, it can go in the refrigerator.

I got this because our ice-maker quit working and I needed beverages to be cold without having ice - either tea or water. However, the shelves in my refrigerator are very short. They won’t hold most pitchers. I got this and it’s perfect. Plus, it’s very pretty!

I was looking for a pitcher to make sun tea - something that wasn't too large or too small and this fit the bill. Very well made, the top fits snugly, and fits perfectly in our refrigerator. The lid has two options - one to pour through a filter (e.g., if you put ice in the pitcher but didn't want the ice to come out) and one with a hole.

In the reviews I read about this picture it went on and on about how heavy this was I don’t know if they were talking about a different size, but this one is really nice and not heavy at all. A good weight for a glass pitcher.

I love this pitcher! I could not be happier with it. You can make perfectly brewed ice tea by simply boiling your water in a kettle and pouring the boiling hot water directly into the pitcher over the tea bags and letting it steep. The pitcher is the perfect size and the handle is comfortable and easy to handle. I plan to buy a few of these for Christmas gifts.

It’s a pretty pitcher. 68oz is actually rather small. We get 3-4 tall glasses full from the pitcher. The option to pour and catch most of loose leaf tea is nice. I like it but wish it was bigger.

This is an excellent jug. I'm using it to brew and serve ice tea. Looks great and easy to clean.

I only managed to get 2 uses out of this jug to hold cold tap water. 2nd use, the bottom cracked and started leaking! Terrible and dangerous.

good size, very light, looks nice.

A well made and quite light glass product, worth every penny.

Very nice jug and great quality for the price!
