A shapely carafe of WMF with practical cleaning pearls. The carafe looks on each panel of decorative and operating properly. There were already reviews, in which the strength of the "lid" was criticized. This lack I can not confirm. The cap with the spout fits perfectly and firmly in the carafe. The capacity of one liter carafe is however to be taken literally, because if a liter is filled, the carafe is nearly filled to the brim. It remains about one just one centimeter free up to the top. This also means that the rubber stopper together with the cover already and so immersed in water or juice when all pouring a liter bottle into the decanter. A minor drawback, as it can then come to a dirty sink. But that's not really a criticism - just a little less than a liter of fill and is good. Thus, 5 Stars - highly recommended!
