After I had had good experiences with coffee glass jugs from a large coffee vendors often earlier, I bought after the death of a cheap product this pot of silicate glass and I must say that the decision was the right one. The size is quite enough for me and the handle is mounted so that it does not come into contact with the hot glass. A very small downside is the small cutout in the lid, which results in that the pouring run a few drops over the edge and reach the space under the glass jug. If you are very careful when pouring, it is slightly better. All in all a good pitcher that one if handled well so light can not destroy.
