Designed for high-traffic households, this 1-gallon pitcher utilizes a tension-sealed lid system rather than traditional screw threads to manage its large volume. Specifications indicate a wall thickness of approximately 2.2mm at the base, which provides the necessary structural support for the 8.3-pound weight of a full water load. The micro-etched stainless steel filter is a durable alternative to nylon, helping to prevent fine tea dust from entering the final beverage.
While the unit is marked as dishwasher safe, practical reality shows that hand-washing the lid helps preserve the integrity of the silicone gasket and prevents the retention of high-heat odors. The flip-top spout is designed for airtight security, allowing the pitcher to be stored on its side in some refrigerator configurations. The extended length of the mesh filter ensures that tea leaves have ample room to expand, which helps with flavor extraction in such a large vessel.
Tests show that the clear copolyester body is resistant to impact, though users should avoid moving the pitcher directly from a cold refrigerator to a boiling water fill to prevent stress fractures. Features include a BPA-free construction and a robust handle designed to manage the leverage required for pouring a gallon of liquid.
If you prefer a more compact, glass-based system for smaller batches, the Aozita 2-Quart glass maker offers a different material profile for your kitchen. Explore more options for organizing your home drink station in our beverage bottle organizers collection.
