5 years, I tell ya, is how long I've been wanting to make a move to perfect my coffee technique, and these pitchers were what moved the dial for me. I love freshly made coffee, but I'm also lazy and prefer to have coffee on hand in the fridge, in a maximal way, not just a two day supply. So, this 51oz glass pitcher is the size I need, which also maximizes convenience because it fits in the fridge door. Also on the maximal side, I use the Turkish grind to get a stronger brew. But, French press filters don't filter out all of the Turkish grind, so I'm resorting to a modified cowboy coffee technique, of just heating it in a vessel and that is it. I will use this pitcher to brew my coffee and leave it there in the fridge. The grinds settle at the bottom, and then, -get this-- any grinds which escape the bottom while I'm pouring out the last cup, will catch at the angled neck of the pitcher --it doesn't get any better than that! When the coffee is used up, I swirl a little water through the grounds and dump it on my compost pile. Finally, a coffee making Many lazy shortcuts in this technique, which is just how I like it, because I get the most bang for my buck. And this glass pitcher is the key piece in my system!!

I got the set of two, and plan on using the other one at the very least for cucumber water in the summer. I'm thrilled about both pitchers and I consider them a must-have in every kitchen. These things are also THICK. Not thick like the borosilicate bowls at that Swedish big box store, but these are the thickest borosilicate vessels I've ever seen. i recommend the 68oz. three pack because the 68oz. size fits in the door of the fridge, plus, my experience is that one is needed for water and cucumber water, etc., but two are needed by themselves to keep the coffee flowing. As one glass pitcher of coffee is finishing up, I get another started so I don't have to wait till it stops raining or whatever to swish out the grinds to the compost pile, and that way my coffee is available without interruption. Three 51oz pitchers are very ideal for a basic set-up, and the third one of course can be also used for impromptu sangria, etc. for guests.

Thinking of getting the huge 61oz glass pitcher, also for guests, coffee for a brunch, that kind of thing. So simple, no cords needed! The big size makes ten twelve ounce mugs or glasses!! Pretty nice, considering there's nothing to plug in, there's no toxic leaching from plastic or metal, and this glass pitcher is easy to clean and store. What a wonderful find, and I highly recommend these high quality and useful pitchers to anyone!!! 

Overall, I really enjoy this glass pitcher and will definitely continue using it.
