GROSCHE BALI Hand-Made Glass Water Infuser & Water Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter Lid, 1500 ml

This is great! It arrived very quickly and well packaged. The glass is very sturdy, yet is fairly light. I put some water and lemon slices into it, and put the lid on. When I pour it with the filtering opening, none of the lemon gunk comes out. I don't like pulp of any kind, so I was somewhat worried if it would keep all of the stuff out. But after pouring my water looked nice and clear, with a hint of lemons. There is also another wide opening for pouring out everything, which I didn't realize when I read the description of this. The silicone at the bottom is removable, which is nice. I like that it protects the bottom of the pitcher but I do notice it sometimes makes it a little hard to move in my refrigerator. But I prefer having it on so that I don't have risk scratching the glass. It's also a very nice size; I don't need to refill it that often. I also like that the silicone around the stainless steel cover is glued to it so it doesn't come off. A wonderful pitcher, I'm very glad I bought it.

Love this water pitcher because of it's generous size. We use for infused water and I keep refilling once the pitcher is half full. The silicon cup on the bottom helps hold the pitcher in place (no sliding from condensation) and protects from hard surfaces like stone countertops but can be removed for cleaning. The pitcher fits nicely on the top shelf of our refrigerator and in the door (other competitors were too tall or wide). The glass is borosilicate so can withstand warmer liquids (although I'd cool really hot/boiling liquid first). The glass is a nice weight - the bottom is not as thick as their smaller version w/no handle but the silicon cup helps). The handle does feel thin so I am careful when I pull the pitcher out of the refrigerator and usually use two hands. We use this for infused water - the top has has 3 options; open side (free flowing), gridded side (so that particles won't get into your glass) and a closed side. However, the closed side does not entirely seal the contents so I would not store w/perishables like milk.

I love that there is no inner strainer to put fruit and/or veggies in so you can fill it up with as much (or as little) as you want. I started with the Rio and it's fine for my husband and me, but upgraded to the Bali for family occasions. We have 1 Rio and 2 Bali pitchers and we love them all! We even ordered some for family members! The glass is heavy duty, so no worries about it breaking easily. I just recently bought another Bali and the seal wasn't a perfect fit so I contacted Grosche and they're sending another one. There are only positive things to say about the product, company and customer service and they're all great! I definitely recommend Grosche products!

Seemed to be working okay. I used this to store filtered water on my countertop. After using it for only six weeks, I noticed that the bottom of the handle was cracking. This is clearly a poorly designed product, as the handle was made too thin to support the weight of the pitcher when it is being used as intended.

This is a stunning pitcher. I believe it would work to flavor water with fruit, veggies, or even to make iced tea using loose tea. However, it is also extremely tall and would not fit in my fridge. For this reason I returned it. Make sure your fridge can accommodate the height before ordering. If you have space or just want a pitcher for serving guests, get this pitcher! It's lovely. Hopefully the manufacturer will come up with a wider, shorter version of this pitcher to fit in a standard fridge in the future. I'll be the first in line to purchase it. I had visions of a perpetual pitcher of flavored water in my fridge to replace my diet soda habit. Sad it didn't work for me.

So how do you describe something that is perfect. The design is beautiful, the material is lightweight even though it is glass so you don't get sore arms just for pouring water. Sometimes being beautiful and functional do not seem to go together. Not with this pitcher. The design is exceptional., making it extremely easy to pour without having liquid spilled on the table or the counters. The removable rubber base is a smart and elegant way to protect the glass. The lid is nice looking and fits extremely well. I was expecting it to come off during pouring but a silicon ring keeps it in place. I would put a finger on the lid when I pour just to be on the safe side. I will definitely highly recommend this and will be purchasing more as soon as they get them back in stock.

It's a nice functional product. My purpose was to pour excess hot coffee from any brew into a health conscious container, so as to not waste the excess coffee, and thus end up with a refrigerated side-store of cold coffee. Since I drink cold coffee at work, rather than use the less healthy offerings at my workplace, this carafe is quite useful to me. Note that it is 12.5" tall with lid on, so be sure your refrigerator can accommodate it. The bottom black piece is actually a simple removable rubber-type footing, which makes cleaning easy. Lastly, it is elegant and I doubt it would take an accidental side-hit, say against a stone counter top - but I'm just theorizing here. Just placed a second order for my wife, who's actually interested in it as an infuser. :)
