The Home Hero 64 oz brewer is a high-capacity system that uses 3.3 borosilicate glass for the main pitcher. This material provides superior thermal shock resistance, which is helpful if you use the "hot-bloom" brewing method. The filtration system features a 160-micron dual-mesh stainless steel weave, which is designed to balance the flow of water while minimizing the "sludge" that can sometimes settle at the bottom of the pitcher.
This set includes two different lids: one flip-cap for easy pouring and an additional airtight storage lid for keeping the contents fresh for longer periods. The flip-cap hinge is designed for regular daily use, and it is most effective when the silicone ring is seated completely dry to ensure the lid doesn't over-tighten on the threads. Standing at about 9.2 inches tall, it is built to fit most standard refrigerators, though checking shelf height is always recommended for larger 2-quart units.
To ensure the best seal, avoid over-packing the filter basket beyond its recommended capacity.
If you already own mason jars and just want a standalone filter, the Tessco 3-Piece Filter Set can convert your current jars into brewers. You can find more high-volume drink solutions in our iced tea brewers section.
