Weck Carafe

Weck glass from Germany is like Le Parfait glass from France.... an institution.

Their carafes are are probably the most popular and practical choice for water. It holds just over a litre (2.2 pints in old money) and are 25cm high. 

Here's a top tip from a customer: If your cat or dog likes a sneaky drink from the glass of water by your bed at night, use a carafe instead: They can't get their snoots in! Foiled. Although, they'll probably just knock them over instead.

Of course you can put whatever you like in them (Weck describe them as 'Saftflaschen' (that's juice jars) and if you need lids we have them. But Weck are clever and practical: Both carafe sizes have the same neck diameter (60mm) so one lid fits all. For me, just tap water thanks.

They fit in the fridge door and are my go to for a batch of iced tea:

• Make a pot of tea
• Let it cool
• Make some sugar syrup (or buy some, but sugar won't dissolve in cold tea)
• Fill glass with ice, pour over tea.
• Sweeten if you like with the syrup
• Add mint leaves
• Add lemon
