LocknLock Aqua Fridge Door Water Jug with Handle BPA Free Plastic Pitcher with Flip Top Lid Perfect for Making Teas and Juices, 3 Quarts, Clear

I originally ordered because I make a lot of cold brew loose leaf tea, usually 2 different flavors a day. But the bottles I had that were specifically for making cold brew loose leaf tea or coffee, were all glass, though they were well made mason jars with filters that went all the way down to the bottom of them. But I ended up breaking 2 bottles within a short period of time. After dealing with glass all over my floor, and not wanting to get glass bottles again, I looked into plastic pitchers.I have been very happy with the two I bought. They are very sturdy, have 2 gallons of liquid each, and the top has very strong fasteners on the side of the top, with a strong seal on the pour spout too. I tend to shake the pitchers to mix sweetener in, and never had a top come off or leak.My previous filters fit in these pitchers, but it’s a tight fit. But they do just as good as the dedicated pitchers. I also use loose tea cold brew packets, which these pitchers are great for.These pitchers are a great value, and easily fit in your refrigerator shelf’s. The design is good, and they are quite durable.I do recommend these pitchers for all your juice, tea or cold brew coffee. They aren’t the usual pitchers that you would think of to make cold brew, but they work just as good as glass jars, and they don’t break! That’s important to me, after breaking 2 Mason jar pitchers made for cold brew!

Perfect sized slim pitcher! This fits on the top shelf of your fridge with about 1 inch to spare. These easily fit in the door, too. I ordered 3. I can keep all 3 on my top shelf with my milk. Pouring is easy. They do not leak at all or drip. The lid fits on securely. The pop top spout locks well. However, if you have any issues with your hands such as arthritis or any other hand issue, this pop top spout will be difficult to open. It locks very securely. All you would have to do is leave it open/unlocked. It's a fantastic pitcher at a great price. I suggest buying multiples so you can have a variety of drinks in the fridge.

This product is excellent. It's sturdier than you might think by looking at it. The top seals easily and tightly. The only that's potentially problematic is the lid on the spout. It seals very tight, making it a bit of a chore to open it. That's not a criticism, because being very tight is better than being flimsy and too easy to open, which could cause spillage. Another thing I like about it is it fits perfectly into my refrigerator's water/ice dispenser.

Bullet points first, then full review after:* Lid is air-tight, spout is not* Pours fine for me* SMALL, holds 2 Quarts if you fill it up to the absolute rim. Don't expect to be mixing drinks in the pitcher itself.I wanted to write a review for this product because I think it is a very good product, and absolutely worth the price, but there are a couple caveats that I would have liked to have known first. Like, I assume, most people who stumbled across this product, I needed a jug for holdin' my liquids. I went to Amazon, searched for "Pitcher", sorted by ratings, and not only was this particular product near the top, but it was a brand name I actually recognize, and at a price that was anywhere from 2-4 times CHEAPER than everything else. I scanned the reviews and decided that, at this price point, I can see for myself.So, here's what I've found.These things are absolutely solid. Built exactly like any other LocknLock you may already own. This includes the clamps and gasket that holds the lid on... however, there is no such locking mechanism that goes over the pouring spout. It closes, yes, and it'll stay in place, but it's not air tight. If I flip these things upside-down (I bought two) they will both drip out around the spout. So you probably don't want to send a full one of these through the mail, but if you can pack it in a cooler or a backpack where you're relatively certain it's not going to get flipped completely upside-down, you'll be fine.I read a couple reviews talking about issues with the spout: Difficulty opening or closing it, or problems with the way it pours. I'm not seeing this in either of the pitchers I bought. Due to the hole not being at the very edge of lid, which would probably be impossible with this design, you're not going to get every single last drop out... but it's pretty close. There's maybe like half a teaspoon left at the bottom that I just rinse out when I go to wash it. As long as I don't pour like a crazy person, the flow was completely smooth from when it was filled to the tippy-top until it was empty. That being said, I'd be a little hesitant about putting this in the hands of a child. Although, come to think of it, I'd probably be hesitant of putting any 2 Quarts of spillable stuffs in the hands of a child.Lastly is the size. As many have pointed out, these fit very easily in the door of my fridge. I can actually put 2 side-by-side if I really shove 'em in there. The rectangular design means they are shorter, thinner, but longer than other pitchers. However this isn't some physics voodoo to add more space by changing the design, these things are just straight-up smaller than other pitchers. Most pitchers, because the spout is built into the side of the pitcher, you tend to leave the top inch to inch and a half empty, and this is typically where the lid rests. Because the spout is built into the lid, and the lid goes over the pitcher instead of into it, the manufacturer apparently saw no need to give this extra space, so filling these things with 2 quarts brings them to the absolute brim.So what?Well, my main reason for purchasing these things was that I tend to drink a lot of Crystal Light and other such beverages. Because 2 quarts of water fills up to the absolute brim in these things, it means I can't actually mix said beverages in the pitcher itself, as I would definitely spill everywhere. If I had known this ahead of time I probably would have bought the 3 quart pitchers instead. As it is, I need to mix my drinks elsewhere, and then pour them into these for storin'. Not the end of the world, but a little unforeseen inconvenience I would've liked to have known about ahead of time.

perfect size for fridge, tall and thin, no leaks, easy to clean
