I was looking for a carafe that is covered and if you are thirsty, that you do not have to play with a lid until it opens. Am fully satisfied with it and have even the small (1l) bought The screen works great, and ice cores are not poured into the glass and fly also lost no longer in the carafe. On top of that it is also visually very appealing. After the first has arrived with me I immediately brought all the other water carafes from the kitchen cupboard and tried in which the lid fits. I was lucky, because the cover fits on the carafes from Aperol splashes. Had I known, I would have ordered only two covers. Since I now had five decanters fit on the lids, I have the great WMF carafe that does not fit in our fridge and not in the dishwasher, misappropriated for Valentine's Day as a flower vase. For me it is also a flower vase stay there very well come into their own flowers. The opinion of some reviews had problems with the lid or the glass jumps I can not share. The description says that the inside of the neck and the lid so that the lid must be dry and well seated. After I have filled with fluid, the carafe, I wipe the neck and the cover with a paper towel. The lid keeps Bombenfest. For me, glasses and dishes are also in the dishwasher and it's never gone something breaks. The carafes of Aperol splash I have about 3 years, and which are much thinner than the WMF even have hitherto survived the washing at 75 degrees in the dishwasher without prejudice. If the glass of WMF were so thin, you'd also clean the stainless steel balls, also of WMF, not survive. Also I've tried and my carafes are all remained.
