aarkePurifier Water Filter Jug 1.2L/5 cups Glass & Stainless Steel – Includes Pure Filter Refill Bag

When I started looking for a new water filter jug my goal was the less plastic the better. I was not expecting to spend as much money as I did for this jug at the end, but it was a good choice after the extensive research I did. There is no plastic coming in contact with water as the body is made of glass and the inside part from stainless steel. I used Brita jugs before for many many years and wanted to upgrade for something better. And this is really it. The water taste amazing with no funny odour or taste of chlorine and other nasty things. Even Brita jugs did not filter as good as this one. When using the old jug I could still taste some chlorine in the water and funny smell, but with this Aarke jug there is absolutely no smell nor taste to water. I am very happy with the purchase. The only downside is that it is fairly heavy but I guess that's what you need to expect when buying glass jugs and also that to refil it you need to take the lid off. But these are just a small flaws for me which are deffinitely compesated by taste of delicious clean water. The glass itself is very sturdy. Size is amazing and can accomodate plenty of water needed for family of 4. It is easy to use and I like the idea that the filter itself is not packed in plastic either rather than that you just refile the filter granules into stainless steel filter. Overaly it is worth every penny even though it is really pricey and could be really less as I do not believe it is that costy to make a bit of glass and stainless steel but I guess for a good quality you need to pay... I can highly recommend this filter jug as I can see it is gonna last years unless it does not and then I would need to change my review :-) but I don't believe I will have to.

The best jug ever! The Aarke Purifier Water Filter Jug in glass and stainless steel is a game-changer. Not only does it look sleek and modern, but the 2.4L capacity is perfect for my daily needs. The water tastes so much fresher and cleaner, thanks to the Aarke Pure filter. I love how it’s made from high-quality materials—glass and stainless steel make it feel premium and sturdy. It’s easy to use and clean, and I’m so happy with how it’s upgraded my water-drinking experience. Highly recommend!

Firstly I'd say that if you're using filtered water daily, then the price shouldn't be an issue. Out of the box I wondered if I'd made a mistake. The glass is quite light and thin which concerned me to begin with. The screw on lid for the filter medium canister is not easy to screw on and off and would be my biggest negative, but once you get to grips with it, it's not the end of the world to do it once a month. You're supposed to boil the canister with the filter medium once a week but we keep our jug in the fridge so I'm not too worried if it slips my memory from time to time.Compared to the plastic competition, this wins hands down. It looks every part as expensive as it was and is a pleasure to have at the dining table. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now and only cleaned it once, although it didn't look like it needed it. I would say that due to the cleanliness of the glass and stainless steel after this time, it must filter out most if not all of the limescale that would usually leave white marks or lines in a glass vessel. We usually drink bottled water but in my opinion the water from this filter tastes better.Yes it's very expensive but it does the job very well and looks really good too. We still use bottled water for the coffee machine but now we use this for drinking water and it really does taste better, and that's coming from someone who very rarely drank water due to it's horrible taste (from the tap).

The first thing you see is the price. Yes it's expensive, but there are things in life worth paying for, that you use a lot and last many years. A good mattress, or nice eye glasses for example. A quality water filter isn't a frivolous extravagance, it's something you use literally every day that delivers most of the liquid you consume.There are not many options if you want a water filter jug that isn't plastic. My previous jug was glass, but still had a plastic inner container and used plastic filters. Aside from the environmental implications, it's just not nice knowing that the water you drink is sitting in plastic for so long.This jug (I went for the big one) is all glass and stainless steel, looks great, feels high quality and isn't too heavy. It's also not that tall, so easy to fill in my little sink. The smaller jug is actually taller.I love the design, it's very slick, easy to clean and solid. Water pours quickly and without spilling. One slight quirk though - if you push the lid down just after filling, water seeps up through the top. So you have to rest the lid on and only push it into place when it's time to pour. It's a physics issue, more than a design flaw.The taste is... okay, frankly. It's fine. I'm using the basic granules and apparently they contain silver, which may be the cause of the metallic taste? My previous Brita filtered water tasted of nothing really, while this definitely has a flavour. It's not bad, but it's there. Some people are using a different brand of granules, but we're supposed to boil the filters every week so I'm not sure going off-brand for the granules is wise, especially if they contain a type of plastic. Aarke granules are designed to be boiled, so for now I'll stick with them and the subtle metal tang. After a week I barely notice it any more :)5/5 for the product, even at this price. Loses a point for the taste. Would buy again.
