Water carafes

Which water carafe is best for everyday use?

For daily use, choose a water carafe that feels stable on the table, pours without dripping and is easy to clean. Pick the capacity based on how many people you serve at home.

What size water carafe should you choose? 

A smaller carafe works well for daily refills; a larger carafe is practical for dinner and guests. If you store it in the fridge, check that it fits the door shelf.

What’s the difference between a water carafe and a wine decanter?

A water carafe is designed for serving water and soft drinks. A wine decanter is shaped to aerate wine and separate sediment—different purpose, different form.

Glass or plastic: which material is better for a water carafe?

Glass is a popular choice because it’s neutral in taste, easy to clean and looks clean on the table. Choose based on how you use it - daily fridge use, dining table, or hosting.

Is a water carafe dishwasher safe?

Many glass carafes are dishwasher safe, but always check product details. If the opening is narrow, a bottle brush can make cleaning faster.

Do you need a lid or stopper on a water carafe?

A lid or stopper helps keep water fresh in the fridge and protects from dust on the table. It’s also useful if you serve infused water with citrus or herbs.
