Frail Glass, Cork Absorbs Smells and Gets MoldyDaryleNeed to be thicker glass, like 2x. Cork is a terrible lid, makes water smell and can get moldy. You’re supposed to hand wash the cork before each refill and allow to dry. No one has the time for that. Make the lid out of a better material. I’d want a metal water pitcher but it’s hard to find at a decent price. 1
Way to thin glassAmyBroke while washing before I even got to use it. to thin.1
Very Disappointing QualityPardisThis is the second time I’ve bought this pitcher, and unfortunately it has broken both times. Despite its relatively high price, the glass is extremely thin and feels very fragile. I expected much better quality from IKEA. I definitely do not recommend buying this product.1
Great.... But... PhilLove the pitcher itself but within a week of buying the cork developed a musty smell not typical of cork and more, mouldy. Had to toss it. Kept the carafe... For now!! 1

Cork lid needs to be replaced with something elseMariamI was wondering why my water smells and tastes musty. So I smelled the cork, the water tastes like how the cork smells!!! I never overfill this pitcher, the cork stays dry. But it still transfers odour and taste to my water. I hope I can still return this and but the new one with non-cork lid.2
Not really glass, more like 50% glass 50% plasticVincentWhen you tap it with your fingernails, it doesn't make a clank like the average glass does, so this pitcher is made of some sort of hybrid of glass and plastic. 3
Perfect PitcherMichelleLove this pitcher, and the cork lid is perfect to keep any pests out during outdoor dining.5
Cork leaves musty flavor in drinkCaitI like the look and simplicity of this pitcher, but the Cork leaves a musty smell and flavor to the beverage. It's quite off putting. I threw out the cork - which leaves this a a bit overpriced.2
Excellent PitcherAndreiThis pitcher is the most convenient from all I know. Absolutely the best so far. 5
Glass JarJagpreet KaurIts very nice for the price, but normally the Cork develops mold.4
Love this pitcher but the cork lidAnonymous reviewerMay I suggest either set the cork lid separately or better yet create a non-cork lid that fits this pitcher. It’s truly a great pitcher except the cork lid, it’s unsanitary and completely wasteful to replace the entire pitcher just to replace the lid. 3
FragileSydneyYou have to be carful when using, especially when you place the pitcher on hard surfaces. I wish it came with a cork base/coaster. Unfortunately, the fitted coasters at Ikea are too small. Besides that, I love the design and love to make ice tea with it.4
Cork lid grows moldArvinWorks great as a pitcher, but cork lid will grow mold and can have also have a foul smell.2
UsefulLouiseBecause this container has a pour spout, most people assume it's for liquids only. However, I have several I use to store cereals, granolas and nuts. No fussing with a top that requires two hands to remove; my items remain fresh and pour out easily. Decanter goes in the dishwasher and I give the top a wipe down with a soapy cloth.5
