I have the same 3 carafes for my daughter and for me ordered therein bottling filtered water. The carafe looks very nice, quality is. Sure, the glass is a bit thin. You have to provide for themselves just because of Metallbömpel otherwise thunders inside against the glass. But one should "drink water" indeed celebrate, so far poured been a pleasure and slow, then nothing happens. The delivery was super fast. The carafes were very well packed and padded in cardboard, so they are not broken. If the pitcher is on the table, really it is pure joy. And especially if you still fills fruit slices that bob around in the water funny. :) The price is actually sensational. I've got quite other parts seen that certainly do not fare better.
