I'm very satisfied with this jug. I enjoy the extremely minimalistic design and pared down design, resembling almost a lab equipment. It has very good pouring ability, the flow is controlled and even and it stops without dripping. Very pleasurable to use. It lets you enjoy the color and aroma of your drink instead of worrying about pouring cleanly and not splattering around. It is not too thin, with a robust shape, but you still need to treat it with care. I even feel confident to use my aeropress occasionally with it (I press slowly). The handle is perfect for my hands. It will give you a pleasant and secure grip if you put three fingers inside and the fourth in the outside, and your fingers will be protected from the heat of your drink.
