Ne carafe was needed, so the decision my wife. Apparently a household may no longer be without this trendy containers. Granted me the carafe also like, also looks great on the table and with the cooling pack in there the whole remains pretty cold. One thing, however, is problematic: The bottle does not fit in the refrigerator - not in a tray due to the height, nor the door compartment for the bottle due to the width. So the ingredients should be previously cooled before mixing together the ... So far we have that thing so 1x used (the first time) .... The cover is by the way not airtight - so what is roars quickly carbonated. So who needs to fill cold, carbonated beverages before or in a carafe, then he is at the right place, because it is cold by the cold pack: This looks great on the table in the summer of great - Just stupid that you drink then usually also makes up for it: - )
