Clean taste. Glass container is better than plastic for many reasons. This pitcher is thin but fairly sturdy. This is my second pitcher. Had the first for two years before I broke it on a stone countertop washing it. For the price, the filter should last longer.I chose this pitcher over the more well-known brands mainly because it’s glass. I didn’t want another plastic pitcher. The shape is sleek and the mint color is really more aqua (imo) which I actually like better. I just love it! I plan on leaving it out on the counter because it’s too pretty to hide in the frig!This product ticked all the boxes for me but unfortunately the problem I’m having is that the filter doesn’t flow consistently. After filling the top basin, half the water filters through, the other half remains in the top basin and I either have to shake the jug to get it moving again (50/50 this will work) or refill the top basin and hope the added water pressure will restart the flow through the filter (50/50). Generally I’m pouring a mix of filtered and non filtered water into my cup. When it does filter correctly, the water tastes great! I’m just on my first filter and am hoping there was a one off issue with this filter. Otherwise, solid productI’ve had this filter for a month now and all the water that goes in the top to be filtered doesn’t filter all the way down. Even if you wait two days, some water remains in the filtering area, so that when you go to pour the filtered water, some of the unfiltered water sitting in the top goes into the glass or container you are pouring the filtered water into. So you end up drinking some unfiltered water almost every time (see picture showing where the water stops flowing down).Also, there comes a time in which the water in the top just doesn’t filter to the bottom anymore -even if there is still room for the water to go to.Lastly, I found the filter to be expensive for what it is.This pitcher ends up being very top heavy with water in the hopper waiting to be filtered. That is expected, but since the base is so small compared to the top it gets tipped over really easily. Unfortunately mine broke within weeks after my girlfriend put it back in the fridge and it tipped over. The glass is really thin and fragile. This is definitely not worth $70.The taste of the water is delicious. The functionality of the pitcher could use some work. The filters don't always allow for the water to flow through, so you have to pour out the collected water and start over which is frustrating. There is also a grit that starts to build up at the bottom of the pitcher after awhile of usage even after cleaning it routinely.Simply perfect ?It was delivered really quick. The filtered water is really great. Only issue is that the filtering parts are made of plastic and holds only few cups of water. However, I guess it is BPA free. I recommend it!
