Toddy Maker Replacement Glass Decanter



Don’t waste your money

These used to be great decanters years ago, but they’ve cheapened them and are obviously using less/thinner glass to make them, as they crack at the drop of a hat. You have to be excruciatingly careful with them to avoid this, avoiding setting them down on hard surfaces (or holding your breath to ensure that they don’t break). I have cracked at least 4 of them, and this is occurring despite my taking extra care in handling them. The latest occurrence just happened when I moved something in the refrigerator and the tea I stored in it leaked all over everywhere. I suggest looking for a much sturdier glass decanter and not wasting your money on this!

Great decanter

Someone purchased the toddy maker for us as a gift to make cold processed coffee. I wound up using just this decanter to keep in the fridge with juice or water. It’s a really lovely piece and comes with a lid (not shown in the photo, but it does come with one). Finding a simple, functional glass pitcher with a lid seems difficult to find these days. This piece does the trick.

Perfect Decanter

I love this. I’ve found it very difficult to find a decanter that is glass, with a pour spout, a lid, and big enough opening to get my through the opening. When cleaning it you can fit your hand inside to make the washing easy, fast, thorough! I’m buying an extra decanter for iced tea – fits very easily in the fridge door – with no bulky handles. The handleless grip might not work as well for small hands, but it’s comfortable for me. (Woman, size 7 glove.) I switched to the Toddy Brew system about 6 months ago, and love it. Smoothest, best coffee – I get compliments on my coffee from people who like it weak, and those who (like me!) like it strong. Was hesitant to get an extra decanter because one reviewer found that it breaks too easily. I’m careful with it, but not obsessively, and it’s held up fine. That said, it doesn’t have the heft of pyrex, or anchor hocking, but they don’t make a lidded pitcher. Appears to be the thin borosilicate glass, very attractive.
