TakeyaAirtight Pitcher - Everyday-Use for Iced Tea & More - Clear with Lid - Lightweight Kitchen Essential - Spill-Proof & Durable Kitchenware - 2 Quart, Raspberry

I've owned all softs of water pitchers. But these are simply the best pitchers out there. It's all about the small details.1. The bottle can withstand hot water. I drop in a large tea bag (for a gallon) with 3 cups of hot water and let it sit for 10 minutes. I top it off with more room temperature water and toss it in the fridge. It's done.2. The lid is sealed tight. If you close it, you are not going to have to worry about it leaking.3. Very light weight but durable.4. The lid has a slight click so you can pour it5. There's a little spout so the pour can be controlled6. The bottle isn't round so it can go into small fridgeThen there's the smart part of how this can be kept clean.1. The top is two parts. There are no 'hidden' or 'hard to reach' corners that. requires special brushes. All the corners can be reached easily and cleaned.2. There are two gaskets. And they can be removed with no effort. Most of the ones with gaskets are impossible to dig out and mold just grows between them. It's disgusting. But Takeya thought about these and both gaskets can be taken out with no effort so you can keep them clean.And lastly, if you look inside the top lid, there's a notch. These can be converted into a cold brew by simply buying their cold brew infuser filter.Don't think. Just buy one and thank me later.Recipe:1. Put a iced tea bag into the Takya jug2. Pour 3 cups of boiled filtered water and wait 10 minutes3. Top off with more filtered water and put into the fridge overnight4. Take out the tea bag4a. For unsweetened tea, and top it off with more filtered water before serving4b. For sweet tea, dissolve 1/2 cup of sugar (more or less to your liking) with a cup of filtered water. Pour into the tea mixture and top off filtered water. I like to add a touch of vanilla.Enjoy iced tea year around.

Great pitcher. Holds a lot of water/liquid and if you knock it over it doesn't spill or even leak. Easy to use, with two ways of pouring--you either unscrew the cap part way or fully remove it. Great price so a good value for the money. It functions as promised, is durable and well made. Even though it is narrow compared to other pitchers it is very stable without taking up a lot of room.

Perfect little pitcher. Seals tight yet is easily opened to pour. It’s compact, but I’ve been surprised by how much it holds. I’ve had 4 glasses of sangria from the wine, brandy and fruit I mixed in this pitcher, adding lemon-lime soda and ice, and there’s still more. Hurra!

I bought this mainly to chill/serve water at the table. I have a drinking water faucet hooked up to a RO system, and it's lot more convenient to fill a pitcher and take it to the table rather than individual cups. Once I find the ideal pitcher, I plan to buy more to store homemade beverages.This pitcher is good, but it's far from ideal.Pros:1. Two quarts is a good size for serving. Not too heavy to handle but holds enough to serve up to 6 people.2. Tritan is very durable and doesn't pit, crack or stain. It's the only kind of plastic we use now for any food contact.3. The pitcher appears to have a good seal with just moderate tightening. With kids, this was an important consideration.4. Cracking open the top to fill a cup and then closing it shut again is very quick.Cons:1. The lid doesn't appear to be made of Tritan. It was probably necessary to use a plastic with more flex to get a watertight seal. But given this is a 2-part lid, it should be possible to make the lower part alone with a flexible plastic while keeping the upper part made of Tritan. As it is right now, screwing one flex plastic against another isn't very smooth.2. Both handles are attached to the parts. They consequently end up being the most vulnerable parts. They flex more than I'd like during use. This pitcher would be greatly improved if the side handle was made of Tritan and attached to the body itself, and if the upper lid part that has the top handle was made of Tritan too.3. While the size is probably ideal for many smaller refrigerators, the door shelves on mine can hold a standard gallon of milk. These pitchers, being tall and narrow, tend to tip over whenever we open the door. So we surround them with bottles of soda to keep them snug.4. The spout is shaped like a small bird's beak. It's very small and shallow. So drinks need to be poured slowly to avoid turbulence and spillage. A more pronounced/deeper spout would have been much more convenient, at the cost of a little more space.Overall, these do serve the purpose and we're using ours everyday. But I'll keep looking for a better option.

Great design. Compact footprint. Fully sealable. Nice size.

I was on the hunt for a pitcher to fix my drink mix that wouldn’t leak. My previous pitcher from another brand constantly leaked, which was beyond frustrating. After seeing the great reviews on this one, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!This pitcher has worked out like a charm. It doesn’t leak, no matter how full it is or how much I mix. Cleanup is a breeze, and the Tritan plastic is fantastic—it doesn’t stain, even with brightly colored drinks. The material feels sturdy and durable, yet it’s lightweight and easy to handle.If you’re considering this pitcher, I’d highly recommend it. It’s everything I needed and more. No leaks, easy maintenance, and great quality! Perfect for anyone tired of messy spills and difficult-to-clean pitchers.

I have 4 of these! They are easy to clean, durable, I pour boiling water right into them and they last for 10+ years. I constantly have two pitchers of iced tea in my fridge thanks to these wonderful containers.I can lay them on their side and they do not leak or drip.If they get stained with tea, a scrub with baking soda makes them look new.You can clean the lid completely.I think they are my favorite item in my kitchen! Great value.
