Aofmee 68 oz Glass Pitcher

We have been using this pitcher all summer to make ice tea in, and it works great! We make the hot ice tea concentrate, then pour the hot tea into the pitcher. Then, we add cold water and ice, and we have wonderful ice tea to drink. If not in a rush, you could also just put in the fridge for a slower cool down, but so far we have had no issues. This pitcher is short enough to fit the shelves in our fridge, and is very pretty to look at. We love it!

Excellent quality. Lighter than I expected, but has been durable. Great value for the price.

After years of drinking soda I have switched to iced tea. This has brought about a journey to figure out how to inexpensively make tea at home. I started with a smaller glass container and used smaller tea bags. The previous pitcher I tried was a 68 ounce square container (which is 2 Liters equivalent). You'll see it in my reviews. It was a nice size and sturdy but there were some issues. One, the lid wasn't great and the seal stained. Two, it was very heavy. Three, I couldn't add hot water to it. Four, it had a big footprint in the fridge for a smaller size. 2 liters was not enough for a whole day of drinking tea. So I kept looking and found this Aofmee 81 oz glass pitcher. Details: - Pitcher is 81 oz. This is larger than 2 liters. But 60% the size of a gallon or 2.5 quarts. or 2.4 liters I don't know why they settled on 81 oz. for this container, I suspect they let the dimensions decide the size. Just calculate for 10 cups (10 x 8 oz) - Pitcher weights 5.1 pounds EMPTY. This is much lighter than my other one that was smaller. But keep in mind that 81 oz of water weighs over 5.2 pounds. So that means you're at 10 pounds when this is full. That is more than the weight of a full plastic gallon container. Pouring from 10 pounds can be wobbly so probably not good for those that have weak arm or hand strength. - That being said, this container was an improvement over the previous glass one for a few reasons. The glass seemed thinner but it was sturdy. - Handle feels very sturdy when pouring, does not feel like it will break in my hands - The lattice like texture is very nice. It feels nice and looks nice. I prefer it to the smooth alternatives. - It has a wide mouth that is easy to clean - It came with a free bottle scrubby for cleaning it - The lid is excellent. It has a straining opening or a nonstraining opening. It fits in there tight. The plastic gasket does not stain. It does not leak when pouring. It is easy to put on and take off. - Most Important: this glass is made from borosilicate glass. This means you can add hot water up to 300* to it! I couldn't do this with the other plastic pitcher I tried and I can't do it with the plastic pitcher I tried (safely). - It says it can be heated directly on the burner gas stove. I have not tried this. It does not fit into my microwave because of the height. But you can pour boiling (212*F) hot water directly in with no problem. Because of the weight of this pitcher and the fluid weight, I recommend always keeping one hand underneath to help support the weight when pouring. The seller does mention that in transport about 1% may break and so reach out to them if it arrives broken and they will send you a new one. The pitcher is 10.2 inches tall. I will post a picture of it next to my 1 gallon pitcher to show size. Because this pitcher was not 1 GALLON, I was wasting tea bags since I found the 1 gallon Lipton tea bags are great. If you use smaller tea bags, or use this for something else, there's no issue. I think this is the best large glass pitcher out there. It is lightweight but sturdy. Has a great lid. Easy to clean. Easy to pour. Looks beautiful. I still use this pitcher to brew my tea with my big tea bags, but then I transfer it to a gallon plastic pitcher and add water. I believe a 1 gallon glass pitcher is prohibitively heavy for most people so that is why I added in the plastic pitcher for my sweet tea journey. There are reviews of this cracking when hit on surfaces. It is glass, so that is to be expected. This is sturdy and strong and can handle boiling water but at the end of the day it is still made of GLASS. It isn't for kids or those that are rough with things. I am really pleased with it and would have been perfectly happy with it forever except that I needed a larger size for my tea bag brew since the large tea bag made 1 gallon. But if you use individual tea bags this would be perfect as long as you can handle the weight and caution that comes with glass. It is by far the prettiest of the pitchers I have. You could put it on the table with ice water or lemonade and it would be impressive.

Nice pitcher. Easy to use. Can heat the water in it directly on the stovetop. Easy to clean. Good size. Good quality.

Perfect size for my needs. I was given one of these pitchers and used it for years. I dropped it in the sink and it broke. So happy to discover Amazon still has this pitcher.

Love this pitcher! It is not only pretty, but it’s pretty sturdy. I use it for ice tea and it’s nice to know you can put hot water in it without worrying about breakage. I love the design on the glass and it gives it a rich look. Also, it’s not heavy which is a plus. Very easy to clean with the sponge wand that’s included.

This pitcher was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect size, perfect fit.

I absolutely love this Aofmee 68oz Glass Pitcher, and I purchased it specifically to support my iced tea habit – it's truly ideal! Its fantastic ability to handle both hot and cold liquids makes it perfect for brewing tea directly in the pitcher, then simply adding ice to fill it up to create the perfect refreshing solution. It's designed with practicality in mind: it fits easily in my refrigerator door, which is a huge plus. The 18/8 stainless steel lid is incredibly versatile, featuring a filtered opening for pouring with fruit or tea bags, a larger opening for quicker pouring, and the ability to close completely for storage. The scale line on the side is also handy for precise measurements. Cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the borosilicate glass, and it even comes with a thoughtful sponge-tipped cleaning wand, which is great for reaching the bottom. Overall, this is a wonderfully designed, heat-resistant, and easy-to-clean carafe. Whether for iced tea, juice, milk, or any cold or hot beverage, it's a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Highly recommended!
