The delivery of the decanter was, as always with Amazon, optimal. The product was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. The carafe itself is working nicely and looks very classy. However, the glass carafe is really very thin. Thicker glass would pounce a little more. Besides, I'm always afraid the decanter could break fast in the thin glass. A big plus there are for the closure. You can really pour dripping with the carafe, which in each carafe is not possible. Unfortunately, the cooling element has little effect. So on hot summer days you should ask to refresh the entire carafe or drinks cool in advance.
