Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid
Customer Review: Good Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
Hi,
If you are looking for a medium sized pitcher with good looks and functionality, this is the pitcher for you. Continue reading below for my pros and cons regarding the Bormioli Chiller.
Pros:
*The chiller looks very nice. It's compact and easily fits in the second shelf in my fridge
*Hard glass; definitely made of quality glass--not the cheap ones that seem like they'll break with a slight tap of your nails.
*Ice Container is a very nice feature. Fill the plastic tube with as many ice cubes as will fit; your drinks will be cold w/out being watery
*Drinks pour our easily w/out spilling unto your floors or whereever else, just be careful not to pour too fast or naturally it'll spill
Cons:
*As advertised, the components are plastic, i.e the white lid cover, stirrer (I recall one reveiwer mentioning they never received it, well it was supplied with the pitcher)and plastic ice tube.
*unlike the good quality glass, i felt the plastic was cheap and flimsy; guess you can't have everything in one product
*Handle is short and I wish it was longer
Overall I gave this pitcher a 4 b/c of the cons and also b/c it appeared larger in the picture or maybe it was me. In any case, this is a great picher for a single person or very small family. I definitely recommend buying this and keeping your drinks cold this summer! Enjoy.
Customer Review: Very Nice Pitcher
Summary: 4 Stars
Like some of the other reviewers, I also thought the plastic lid just "sat" on top of the pitcher and when I poured from it, it just fell off. It really didn't make any sense to me, that a Bormioli Rocco product would provide such a cheap lid - so I tried pressing on the lid a bit harder than I had originally and it DOES snap on securely. But, because the lid does have a pouring hole, it's not going to be a solid seal. But it's good enough for my purposes.
Secondly, the ice tube that comes with it is made of clear plastic. I wouldn't have a problem with that, except that plastic does not conduct cold like glass does, so I'm not sure that feature is worth making the purchase over.
I doubt that I'll use that feature anyway.
That said -- I love the pitcher. I just wanted a unique, sturdy glass pitcher to serve beverages from and this one is beautiful. Not something you'd see everyday. The glass is hefty, so it should give many years of service.
Customer Review: The PERFECT pitcher!
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not hesitate to buy this pitcher! For years, I have been searching for a pitcher that is eco-friendly glass, not too heavy yet well made and easy to use. THIS IS IT! This pitcher is the perfect thickness for everyday use without wearing your arm out. It is beautifully smooth, sturdy and has a conveniently placed solid glass handle. The shape makes it very attractive, difficult to tip over and very easy to clean. The ice insert is made from eco-friendly material (NOT plastic like other reviewers have been saying) and could be left out of the container if more space is needed. The ice insert actually screws into the top to keep it in place. There is no dripping or leaking from the top at all when pouring and the added stirrer is a nice touch. (Although it doesn't work too well with the top on). For the price and Amazon's two-day free shipping, it's a deal that can't be beat. This is definitely a "MUST BUY" if you are looking for the perfect glass pitcher!Customer Review: Love it for the summer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always like to have a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge during the summer and this has become our favorite one to use. I actually stumbled across this looking at a friends wish list here on Amazon. It looked so nice that I sent her one and grabbed one for myself.
I have to admit when I received it I thought "There is NO WAY this pitcher holds 72 oz!" What I learned was don't let the size deceive you - I measured it and it does. I now have a beautiful serving pitcher that I enjoy using with guests and I always have iced tea cold and ready to drink. I will note that I have only used the "ice container" once. I prefer to just have ice in my drink so it hasn't been as useful to me as it might be to others. Also being that this is glass, I have made sun tea in it when I have time. Definitely a great bargain for a very nice item! I posted a picture of mine in the customer images.
Customer Review: Drips all over the place
Summary: 2 Stars
We've been using this pitcher on a daily basis for the last year and while overall it works ok, it has one fatal flaw. We cannot pour a liquid out of it without dripping liquid all over the floor or counter. For every glass poured you have to get the kitchen towel or a paper towel. Regardless if it is me, my wife or my 12 y.o. son pouring, it always seems to drip and require cleanup.
Also, the ice holder we got rid of into the recycling bin soon after getting the kit and the stirring stick broke in half after the first two months. Also because of the shape it is a little harder to clean too.
A lass pitcher shouldn't be that difficult. It is a simple implement that you need to mix in, pour from and store in the fridge. So with all of these flaws, this things is going in to the recycle bin soon and be replaced.
