Bormioli Rocco Hermetic Seal Pitcher With Lid and Spout [68 Ounce] for Homemade Juice & Iced Tea or for Glass Milk Bottles, Clear

This pitcher is well-made, with a tight seal and solid glass construction that's impossible to knock over. However, it is not impossible to drop. If you’re clumsy like me, it will eventually happen and when it does, be prepared to fix the floor. I dropped mine today and it dented my porcelain tile. Fortunately, we are planning to replace the floor anyway. The half-gallon size works well for making sun tea, and it fits nicely in the fridge. It is substantial without being heavy. I do have to remove the lid completely to pour.

I like the Frigoverre 2L glass pitcher because it is glass, not plastic, it's large opening makes cleaning easy, and it fits in the fridge. I like that the glass is EU/Italian quality. It easily holds an half-gallon (1.89L) I do not have a problem with the cap. The cap can be disasembled for cleaning then snapped together again. THis is the second one I have purchased. Amazon's delivery photo proved it was delivered to the wrong address and Amazon was not helpful in resolving this problem. I had to hunt it down to another address. As I sought the package I found another package, delieverd to another wrong address, that was for the address I found my order at and left it at their (correct) door. I have pictures and video as evidence.

I bought two of these pitchers 6 years ago and I use them every day. I love the size and the square shape of the pitcher, and they are very well-made. Unfortunately, the lids have been a big disappointment. I have had no problem getting a tight seal, but they are made entirely of plastic, are hard to clean thoroughly, and I can't find replacements for them. They seem to be an odd size (3.25" inside diameter, 4.25" outside,) or I don't know how to measure properly - not sure which, and my research has not enlightened me. I requested help from Bermiolli Rocco a few years ago and their response actually made me sad - that is how much I love these pitchers. I asked BR for replacement lids, citing the design flaws and that there seemed to be no way to get new gaskets. They responded by asking me for proof of purchase. That may not seem like a big deal, I could have proved my purchase and probably should have just done so, but it put me off. First of all, I contacted them via the link provided with my Amazon purchase. Secondly, the company must've realized these lids have issues, I knew I couldn't be the first to notice. (Judging by other reviews here, I'm not.) Finally, I would've paid for new lids if necessary, and said so! ...and why would I go to the trouble of scamming someone for *pitcher lids*, anyway?? I mean. At some point, I discovered the lids do come apart for cleaning, which was helpful. However, there is a deep crease in the center that is impossible to get completely clean, and I still don't like that they are entirely made of plastic - BPA free or not - and that there are no replacements available, not even gaskets. I will continue to use the pitchers, which are wonderful, but will have to recycle/repurpose the lids and use stopgap measures until I can come up with a better solution. It's a shame that I couldn't give these wonderful pitchers a glowing, 5-star rave, but the problematic lids and lack of solutions offered by the company have taken a star off this review. Considering the price, I'd have taken off another half star, if it were an option. Such a shame.

Very sturdy glass pitcher. The design is nice and fits perfectly in the refrigerator. It's a great value and it is leak resistant if you follow the directions on how to properly close the lid. I'm very happy with the quality of it.

I had been looking for a glass milk pitcher for a little while - as glass is better to sanitize for our raw milk vs the plastic I had been using. Seals well and won't spill. Holds just over a 1/2 gallon (as stated). Have to pour a bit slow/cautious due to spout size/configuration - you'll discover this with the first use. It's a stout & short little container and still fits on refrigerator door. I don't have any issues with the smaller handle, but I do have small hands. I don't recall seeing this in the directions, but the lid comes completely apart for cleaning (gasket, plus 3 plastic pieces) - which I didn't discover until using it for about a month (had always removed the gasket ring, but didn't disassemble the others). To do this, the rectangular piece on top will pry/pop off and then you unscrew the 2 threaded pieces. Nice pitcher has been perfect for my filtered raw goat milk. Stays fresh and can keep the container clean. The seal also keeps out any 'refrigerator' taste (or any other items that have a stronger smell that you store in your frig - like broccoli or hard boiled eggs). Wish I had found and purchased this sooner.

The lid is a bit tricky at first to figure out how to get it to seal. The spout is failry small and narrow so you have to pour slow to avoid liquid running down the sides. It does seem fairly well made aside from what I consider those small design flaws. The glass is thick and heavy adding some durability. I've run it through the dishwasher a few times with no problems.

Easy clean and compact size makes it a good tea pitcher.

I was going to return it because of the spout, but then I realized it only spilled if I tried to overfill the pitcher. Which, although it holds a lot, if I fill it to the top it’s heavy and awkward for my old lady wrists. I love the fact that it is glass and I love the way the lid fits. It’s supposed to be airtight but I haven’t tried that out. I just know it seals well enough that no food odors seep into the pitcher when it’s on the fridge. I’m happy with this and will keep it. If they make other similar items with slightly different shape or spout, I’d definitely buy that too. Sorry I was critical at first. Part design but more user error on my account.
