Shapely, however, has a downside

However, I like to add a few slices of lemon, lime or ginger to the water. If you then not very carefully and deliberately gives the water in the glass, it may be that the entire lid with rausfliegt because apparently the weight that presses from the inside, a little too big for the cover. My expectation, especially for a quality product from the WMF but a few light slices lemons or limes is, do the tight fit of the lid not diminish.

For a cheaper no-name pitcher this circumstance would annoy me a little, but ultimately, it would be unacceptable. If WMF product's my expectation, even considering the price of the carafe as higher.

Therefore, in my view, only 3 stars.
