The Dairy Shoppe 2 Qt Heavy Glass Milk Bottle with Handle & Cap, 64 Oz, 1/2 Gal.

Great Product. I've had one of these Milk bottle for years. Unfortunately, I dropped it and it broke. Just bought this one to replace it. Very pleased with this product. I use it for Iced Tea. The pop on lid stays on tight.

I bought this to replace a much loved, recycled, glass bottle that I had been using to make sun tea for years. The nice thing about this glass bottle is that it has a grip spot on it for your hand and a plastic lid. I like the plastic lid, because metal lids always seem to rust after some time. It also has this plastic handle that sticks out. I do not recommend using the handle for carrying, but it does have it's purposes!! I tie Lipton tea bags to the handle, so that they don't end up at the bottom of the jug. This is also beneficial, because I don't want to put the plastic lid out in the hot sun and have it warp. I put aluminum foil over the top of the bottle when I am making sun tea and then, I put the lid on the bottle when I bring it inside and put it in the fridge. Honestly, I am so happy with this whole system. I almost think I should buy another one before they stop making them. Overall, a heavy duty glass bottle with a well fitting lid. Love it!

4/15/2018 Update - Still crazy for these bottles but the caps can be a little bit of a challenge for anyone with arthritis. The caps close perfectly tight but to take off the cap after refrigeration I needed to use a table knife to give it a little help. Over time the caps could warp and need replacement - So be sure to buy additional caps. I couldn't be more pleased with these half-gallon glass bottles. I bought 2 to decant a gallon of milk. They are the perfect size for the fridge, good and heavy glass with the plastic handle being a major plus. The plastic caps just pop on and off and I could see them wearing out a little over time so I also bought 12 replacement caps. Because they are glass, they can be put in the dishwasher. There is nothing like an ice cold glass of milk and storing the milk in glass bottles is the perfect method to keep the milk nicely chilled. Fairly priced and delivery was immediate.

I love to keep milk ice cold in glass bottles. A friend had found some at Michaels with the cow on it, but it was only a 1 qt bottle. After doing some research, I found that the ones my friend bought with the metal screw on lids would grow black mold due to moisture in the lids. GROSS. We usually drink at least 3 gallons of milk each week, so I purchased 6 of these milk bottles from The Dairy Shoppe, I also purchased a 6pk of replacement lids. To clean I put a little Dawn in, add hot water, turn my bottle brush upside down, put a thin cloth around the end of handle, stick all the way down and clean the bottoms. I've also just rinsed and put in dishwasher with the lid too, in order to sterilize, and the bottles come out squeaky clean! We needed 6 of these, and use them daily multiple times!! I have two with the handles, and 4 without. I prefer the ones without a handle. As a cool side note; I have two very very old milk bottles from the olden days. Both had cardboard tops. The replacement lids from The Dairy Shoppe fit on one of my antique milk bottles, it reads Meadow Gold Milk in red on both sides of the bottle. It is a 1 qt. so when we get low, I pour the antique bottle full and use a new lid, looks so cute in our frig!! Everyone compliments us on how cool our glass milk jugs look. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! Just like the good ole days....when life was so much simpler.

I like these jars for storing milk so I came back and bought a second one. It arrived today and clearly has been used and does not appear to have been cleaned very well after There were large deposits of milk stone inside the container, it was damp and smelled a bit mildewy when opened. Also the seal for the cap was missing. I rechecked the description here and could not find any indication that these are used glasses and indeed the previous one I bought appeared to be new and clean. That said, I still rate this fairly highly because they are very nice jars that keep my (goat) milk tasting fresh for several days. They are easy to pour from, easy to clean and the glass is very thick making the jars sturdy and durable. I like the grippy part on the side which allows me to handle the jars with wet hands without it slipping. I took off 1 star just because I think they should have cleaned the old milk out thoroughly before sending it.

Our old fridge doesn't provide cold drinking water, but our well water is delishious (if a bit hard, and the drinking filter runs super slow) so we fill up a couple glass jugs of water to keep in the fridge and alternate. Its nice in the summer to have ice cold water anytime you're thirsty. But, one of our Pyrex jugs broke finally after almost a decade of use (the glass was crazy thin - suprised it took as long as it did). Instead of straight up replacing the pyrex jug, I opted for this brand because I like the lid and handle and figured, why not? I am really glad I did. The lid fits snugly on the mouth of the jug, sealing out weird fridge flavors. The little handle around the neck is very handy for grabbing from the fridge door easily. The handle grip thats divoted into the body of the jar makes it easy to pour. The glass is very thick and sturdy. And a regular bottle brush fits in the mouth easily and reaches everywhere it needs to for washing. We don't own a dishwasher besides our own hands, so I can't speak to how well the plastic conponents would hold up, though I honestly would not try it - I think the plastic would melt. But its easy and quick to wash up. My only mild criticism is that the jug isn't a little bigger. So it only fills about two big Yeti insulated water cups before having to be refilled. So if you are considering a similar system to ours, get at least 2 of these jugs. Alternately, the rectangular body fits well in the fridge, and having it a little more compact means more fridge space, so... Silver lining, right? When the last pyrex jug shatters (any day now) we are definitely buying another one of these milk jugs as a replacement. They are fantastic!
