SUSTEAS 2.0 Liter 70 Ounces Water Jug with Lid, Glass Jug for Fridge

Initial review a week after receipt..... I will update this once more time has passed... This is a slim, elegant glass jug that holds around 1.5 litres and fits in the bottom of our fridge door...also on reasonable headroom shelves. I’m pleased with the jug and have had excellent service from Susteas, with whom I’ve been in contact direct. My main use for the jug is for water but it is apparently also able to take hot liquids as well.... although I haven’t tested that. I’d like to explain the star ratings as I’ve given 5* overall but 4* for each category. I really like this jug because unlike normal jugs, it is made from thin glass that is very light and so is easier to use. The handle also looks slender and so the natural question would be ‘how durable and robust would the jug be in practice?’ I’ve given 4* because I don’t know the answer. So far it’s fine but how will it compare with one of those chunky heavy jugs...time will tell. I must say that I have one of the heavy jugs and it has cracked around the handle, so maybe the heavy chunky ones aren’t as durable as they seem. I will be very happy to increase the durability rating in due course. Cleaning is no different to any glass container except the mouth is too narrow for my hand and as the jug is tall, you need a long handled brush to get to the bottom. That isn’t a problem, but I’m conscious that the instructions say to be careful when cleaning presumably because it could be possible for a fast moving hard brush to crack the glass? Again, it’s early days and I just don’t know. There’s nothing at all wrong with the jug and ordinary jugs can be hard to clean too. Of course this is dishwasher safe (although the instructions say that hand washing is preferred...which is no difference to any decent quality glass) but the usual heavy chunky jugs often aren’t dishwasher safe I guess because the glass is too thick. With thin glass and being safe for hot liquids, this jug has an advantage over those traditional ones. I’ve put value for money as also 4* simply because of the two last points. If the jug doesn’t prove to be durable then clearly it won’t be good value, but if it performs as I hope and as the instructions indicate, then it’s a function of the quality of design, of the glass etc and in that regard, to my eyes this is far better quality than typical water jugs. So the overall 5* is because as the jug stands right now it does warrant that....and it would give the wrong impression to mark it down to 4*. The proof will be in the pudding and what I hope is that I’ll be able to come back and update this review to change the 4* elements to 5* ...but I use these reviews to help me understand what I’m buying so I wanted to give a realistic and practical review that is of use to others. I like the simple elegance of the design. The jug does come with a stainless steel lid which I think would be useful if the jug is used for squash in the garden to keep flies out, or left in the fridge...so that’s very useful. I think the jug looks nicer and more elegant without the lid though so if I’m putting it on the dinner table, I’d leave the lid off! But for the avoidance of doubt, assuming everything continues as it is currently then I’m very happy with the jug and the service and, subject to the caveats above, am more than happy to recommend this jug. In fact I plan to buy another myself!

Good quality glass jug. Would buy again.

The SUSTEAS 2.0L glass jug has been such a great addition to our kitchen. It’s sturdy, elegant, and the perfect size for serving water, or juice. The lid fits snugly, so I don’t worry about spills, and it pours smoothly without dripping everywhere. I love that it’s made of glass—it feels so much cleaner and safer than plastic. It’s also easy to clean, which is always a plus. Whether you’re using it for guests or just everyday use, this jug is practical and stylish. Highly recommend!

If the seal lasts then its 5 Stars. The jug will still work without a lid so it's not really that big an issue. However instead of a silly little sponge brush a spare seal would have been a better freebie. Notwithstanding it is a beautiful jug.

Had this jug for a couple of years, but unfortunately my dad accidently knocked it hard on a granite surface and the glass broke, so ordered a new one to replace it. Great jug to use for water with a charcoal stick in it it filter and keep the water tasting good. Really like how the metal lid can be soaked in vinegar or lemon to remove any calcium build up as we live in a hard water area. A great product to help in our move away from plastics.

Looks good. Does what it should. The fact that it holds 3ltrs is for me the best part

Looks great

Cracked after 1 use...and i handwashed it. Would not recommend.

Bra kvalitet där locket sitter bra men är ändå lätt att ta bort. Silen i locket tillräckligt fin för att filtrerar även mindre objekt, tex om du smaksatt vattnet med små bär. Lätt att diska inga vassa kanter eller dolda skrymslen.

Die SUSTEAS Glas-Karaffe hat mich auf Anhieb überzeugt. Mit ihrem Fassungsvermögen von 2 Litern eignet sie sich hervorragend für Wasser, Saft, Eistee oder selbstgemachte Erfrischungsgetränke. Das schlichte und elegante Design macht auf dem Esstisch ebenso eine gute Figur wie bei Gästen oder Familienfeiern. Besonders praktisch ist der Deckel mit integriertem Auslauf. Dadurch lassen sich Getränke sauber einschenken, während Eiswürfel, Zitronenscheiben oder Früchte zuverlässig in der Karaffe bleiben. Das macht die Nutzung im Alltag sehr angenehm. Die Karaffe liegt trotz ihres großzügigen Volumens gut in der Hand und lässt sich bequem ausgießen. Das Glas wirkt hochwertig und robust, gleichzeitig bleibt die Karaffe optisch leicht und elegant. Auch die Reinigung gestaltet sich unkompliziert. Die große Öffnung erleichtert das Befüllen und Säubern erheblich. Insgesamt macht die Karaffe einen durchdachten und langlebigen Eindruck. Hochwertige Verarbeitung, elegantes Design und praktische Funktionen. Eine vielseitige Wasserkaraffe, die im Alltag ebenso überzeugt wie bei besonderen Anlässen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

La caraffa è arrivata nei tempi indicati, ottimo prodotto per qualità, praticità ed eleganza. Ottima assistenza clienti, che, notato un piccolo difetto sulla maniglia, sono stati veloci nel rispondere alla mail (in inglese) e gentilissimi nel risolvere il problema, sostituendo l'articolo. Complimenti, magari tutti fossero così.

Magnifique ! Alors la ! Je dis la grande classe et bravo 👏 il est superbe, je l’ai lavé et très vite utilisé comme vous pouvez le voir sur la photo ! Je le recommande vivement

Not 2.5 liters, pushing 2 liters. Glass is a bit thin and there is a price tag on the jug for R200, so major mark up through Amazon.
