FAQs
What type of glass is the carafe made from?
The carafe is made from high-quality, hand-blown borosilicate glass, known for its durability and resistance to thermal shock.
Is the carafe dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the carafe with mild soap and warm water to protect its delicate design and finish.
Can I put hot liquids in the carafe?
While borosilicate glass can withstand temperature changes, it is best to avoid sudden, extreme temperature shifts. Allow very hot liquids to cool slightly before pouring, or use for cold/room-temperature beverages.
What does 'color block panels' mean?
This refers to distinct sections of different colors integrated into the glass design, creating a modern, geometric look that visually suggests the carafe already contains colored liquid.
Where is this carafe made?
Each borosilicate glass piece is hand-blown in Italy.
Can I use this carafe for something other than beverages?
Yes, the carafe can also be used as a decorative vase for flowers or as a stylish storage container for small items.
What is the 'Tequila Sunrise' collection?
The 'Tequila Sunrise' collection, designed by studio MIST-O, features glass jugs and bottles with distinct color block panels that mimic the appearance of layered drinks.
Troubleshooting
Carafe has water spots after washing.
Ensure the carafe is dried thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately after washing. For stubborn spots, a gentle vinegar solution can sometimes be effective, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Slight imperfections in the glass.
This is normal for hand-blown glass items. Embrace these minor variations as unique characteristics of artisanal craftsmanship.
Color panels appear faded.
This is unlikely with borosilicate glass and quality craftsmanship. Ensure you are using mild soap and not abrasive cleaning agents. If fading is significant, contact the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The carafe is ready to use directly out of the packaging.

Care:
- Hand Wash Only: To preserve the integrity and color of the glass, hand wash with mild soap and warm water.
- Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use scouring pads or harsh detergents, as they can scratch the glass surface.
- Dry Thoroughly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry the carafe immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
- Handle with Care: While made of durable borosilicate glass, it is still glass and can break if dropped or subjected to extreme temperature changes. Avoid sudden, drastic temperature shifts (e.g., pouring hot liquid into a cold carafe).
