FAQs

What is borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass is a type of glass known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion and resistance to thermal shock. This makes it more durable than standard glass and less likely to break when exposed to temperature changes.

What does 'light molded' mean?

Light molding refers to a glassmaking technique where molten glass is shaped using molds. 'Light' suggests a method that may involve less pressure or a specific type of mold, contributing to the unique characteristics of handmade glass.

Can I put hot liquids in this carafe?

While borosilicate glass can handle some heat, the carafe is primarily designed for cold or room-temperature beverages. Extreme or rapid temperature changes are not recommended to preserve the handmade quality and integrity of the glass.

How large is the opening of the carafe?

The opening diameter is not explicitly stated, but it is designed to accommodate ice cubes and fruit slices for infused water, suggesting a reasonably sized opening.

What is the capacity of the carafe?

The carafe has a capacity of 135 cl (centiliters), which is equivalent to 1.35 liters.

Is the 'White' color family relevant to the glass itself?

The 'White' color family likely refers to the overall aesthetic or presentation of the product, rather than the glass being opaque white. Borosilicate glass is typically clear, allowing the contents to be visible.

Troubleshooting

Carafe has a slight imperfection.

This is common due to the handmade and light molded fabrication process. These minor variations are characteristic of artisanal glasswork and do not affect functionality.

Water tastes unusual after being in the carafe.

Ensure the carafe is thoroughly cleaned before use. Wash with warm water and mild soap, rinsing well. Avoid using harsh detergents.

Difficulty cleaning the inside of the carafe.

Use a bottle brush designed for carafes or carafes with a long handle. For stubborn residue, a mixture of baking soda and water can be effective when gently scrubbed.
