Its key benefit is serving as both a practical carafe and a statement piece, inspired by traditional distillery equipment.

FAQs
What material is the Alambicco Jug made from?
The jug is made entirely from clear borosilicate glass.
Is the jug dishwasher safe?
No, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to preserve the glass quality.
Can I use this jug for hot beverages?
Borosilicate glass is resistant to thermal shock, so it can handle warm liquids. However, avoid sudden extreme temperature changes to prevent potential damage.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design takes inspiration from traditional distillery equipment, particularly the 'Alambicco' still, by Pascal Hien.
What are the key design elements?
Key elements include a graphic, half-hooped handle, an upward pointing spout, and a silhouette that juxtaposes soft, rounded lines with acute angles.
How should I store the jug when not in use?
Store the jug in a safe place where it won't be easily knocked over. Its unique design also makes it suitable for display.
What is the capacity of the jug?
The product description does not specify the exact capacity, but it is designed as a personal or small-group carafe.
Troubleshooting
Jug feels unstable when full.
Ensure the jug is placed on a flat, stable surface. The design is meant to be balanced, but external factors can affect stability.
Slight streaking or cloudiness after washing.
This can be due to hard water mineral deposits. Try washing with a bit of white vinegar diluted in water, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure you are using a soft cloth for drying.
Difficulty pouring without drips.
Ensure the spout is clean and free from any obstructions. Pour slowly and steadily, allowing the liquid to flow naturally over the spout's edge. The design aims for controlled pouring, but a slight learning curve may exist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Alambicco Jug requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the box.
Compatibility: This jug is compatible with a wide range of beverages, including water, juices, iced tea, wine, and other cold drinks. Due to its borosilicate glass composition, it can also handle warm liquids, but avoid sudden extreme temperature changes.
Care: To maintain the clarity and integrity of the borosilicate glass, hand washing is recommended. Use mild soap and warm water, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass. Allow the jug to air dry or gently pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. It is not recommended for use in a dishwasher or microwave.
