Bormioli Rocco Misura PZ Carafe, 33.75 oz - Embossed Marking, Wide Mouth & Lipped Rim for Easy Pouring - Thick Durable Glass for Water, Wine & Juice, Made in Italy, Dishwasher Safe

What a bargain - was looking for a water pitcher to put on the table during dinner to go with my " Luigi Bormioli Set of 4 Michelangelo Masterpiece 19.25-Oz. All Purpose Goblets" that I also have/love. At first I was looking for some fancy lead-free crystal pitcher...after seeing these and I could get 2 for $10, the low price lured me in and I had to order them (plus I could always return them if they were terrible). Well I am pleased to say they are great - they pull off the rustic/"you're at a cafe in the streets of Europe"/Pottery Barn look perfectly. They look like you either brought them home from your last trip to Europe or paid crazy "Pottery Barn"-like prices to make it look like you did. The imprints/lettering/stamping on the bottle looks great - just the right amount to make it look rustic and authentic. They are strong/durable, hold a good amount of water, and don't take up tons of table space which adds to their practicality/usability. Also, the water pours very nicely - doesn't drip or run down the side after pouring. We've gotten several compliments so far and are very pleased! P.S. They don't fit that well in a standard dishwasher - it physically fits on the bottom rack but it's too tall and blocks the top rack sprayer arm from rotating. We have a Bosch dishwasher with the 3rd rack/tray for silverware at the top - so maybe it'd fit in a dishwasher without that 3rd tray and w/the top rack in its highest position (but then your Luigi Bormioli Masterpiece glasses won't fit haha). Not deducting any stars (not even half of 1) b/c they are still easy to clean by hand, look great, work great, and are very inexpensive!

I host a lot of dinner parties with a lot of friends and I was looking for a classier way to have pitchers of water (and other drinks) without having to use the cheap-o, ugly plastic ones. As always, I turned to Amazon and when I found these I was blown away. I couldn't believe that for $5 I could get a glass, kind of vintage looking, very charming way to serve water. Of course, there's always the this-is-too-good-to-be-true doubt. But let me tell you, this is good and this is true. I ordered 5 of them. All came in perfect shape! Each was awesomely wrapped in its own sleeve of bubble wrap and the box was the exact size for them so there was no room to get tossed around inside. I even saw the UPS guy carelessly throw the box onto my front porch (*insert rant about UPS) and not a single scratch come to my bottles. One quick tip for future buyers: the opening of the bottle is wide, but it goosenecks down to about half that size where it connects to the main part of the bottle. I found it to be just a little bit more work to get ice down, but it was just a matter of finding pieces small enough. Seriously not a big issue, but from one party planner to the next, it's nice to know to leave yourself a little extra time to fill the bottles with ice. I have received many compliments and questions on these carafes. I could not be more pleased with this purchase. I'm even considering ordering more. Just because I LOVE them. Do yourself a favor and order these bottles.

I wanted a simple glass carafe to make drinking water less of a chore, but I put it off because I assumed that they would be overpriced and fragile. I was delighted to find this for the price, and even more so when it arrived. The carafe is a great size, and I did not have any trouble pouring with the lip. It's surprisingly heavy and thick, which I love because I know we'll use it more if we're not as worried about breaking it. I adore the little raised glass details--when my boyfriend saw it he asked if I got it at Pottery Barn because it looked expensive :) I'm planning to buy a few more to use as flower vases!

I just wanted a simple water container that takes up little room in my refrigerator. This is a stylish, 1-liter carafe that will hold chilled water. (I live in an area with very drinkable water that does not need to be filtered. My fridge does not have a built-in water dispenser.) Perfect for the price. The one possible issue is that the neck is narrow and you will need a brush to clean it (unless you put it in the dishwasher.) Since I only plan to put water in it I do not care. Like most carafes, it does not have a cap, so keep that in mind. I wanted a robust glass, rather than plastic, container. In short, just what I needed!

Nice long island tea glasses

Looks great and can easily be used for water, wine or any other cold beverage. Heavy duty and crafted in an attractive rustic way and you can't beat the price. I took one star off for the size - its very hard to fit in any kind of dishwasher, not the height but rather trying to fit the opening over the prongs (on the bottom shelf). It would be fine if you had the type of washer that has a bottom rack where the prongs fold down. I'm definitely going to get another set for our vacation home. Would also make a fantastic gift! I would definitely get a set (2) or more.

Okay - so the truth is that we are looking for ways to cut calories without giving up everything we like, including an evening glass of wine while cooking dinner and unwinding from the day. Problem is, that one glass tends to become two which tends to become even more. These small carafes look great, and they have a clear line on the neck which indicates the 1/4 litre mark (just slightly more than 8 ounces.) We each pour our wine for the evening in a carafe and the big bottle goes back in the fridge. Maybe it's hokey, but it seems to work and at the very least, makes us more accountable. A drawback is that you have to buy a dozen at once, but they are inexpensive and you'll likely use more of them than you might think. These also look like they have good party potential for something special, but we haven't figured that one out yet.

I use this carafe every day to make about a liter of pour over coffee, and it works great. It doesn't keep the coffee hot for very long, as it's uninsulated, but I serve it all immediately to my breakfast companions and myself, so that's no problem. The HIC #4 porcelain filter cone (link below) sits perfectly on top of this carafe. It takes a little more finesse to pour a cup from this carafe without dripping that it would from, say, a coffeepot or something with a spout, but it really isn't a problem once you've got the hang of it, and I feel it's worth it considering how inexpensive it is and how great it looks. Attractive enough to leave out on display. I intend to buy at least one more as a backup, and in case I ever desire to serve two beverages at the same time. For reference, I pour the water over the grounds at 205°F, so it's probably hitting the carafe at about 195°-200°F. No ill effects after using it for about 70 days in a row, I'll certainly update this review if it ever cracks or breaks due to temperature.

These were awesome! They worked perfectly for my bridal shower to serve drinks in, really good size and quality.

Bra karaff. Önskade lock också

Der 0,5-Liter-Krug von Bormioli Rocco überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Das Glas ist angenehm dick, hochwertig verarbeitet und liegt gut in der Hand. Besonders schön ist das traditionelle Design mit der geprägten Literangabe – schlicht, aber mit Charakter. Mit einem halben Liter Fassungsvermögen ist er ideal für zwei Portionen Wasser oder Wein – perfekt für den Alltag oder kleine Dinner-Runden. Auch zum Servieren von Säften oder als Karaffe auf dem Frühstückstisch macht er eine gute Figur. Er ist pflegeleicht, stabil und sieht auch nach mehreren Spülmaschinengängen noch aus wie neu. Ein zeitloser Klassiker, der in keinem Haushalt fehlen sollte.

Świetna karafka, z bardzo grubego szkła. Solidna, zarówno na wodę jak i na wino.

Perfect type of glass...not too fragile
