Blue Stripe Design Beverage Dispenser Crock

This product is great. It is the second one I have purchased. The first one, from another company, leaked all over the place. I read the reviews and I think the reason other peoples leaked is that the spigot has to be installed correctly. Against logic, the beveled (curved) part of the rubber washer has to face AWAY from the carafe both on the inside and outside. Prior to receiving the carafe, I purchased the stainless steel spigots just in case I needed them, plus I am not a plastic fan. They were slightly smaller than the plastic and since the plastic worked I returned them. FYI. I hope you have good luck like I did! I am ordering a second one for upstairs. I just wish I could find the one with sunflowers like the ad at the bottom of the page.

After decades of use my old carafe broke. I was concerned about having it shipped as these things are easy to break. I was absolutely amazed at the packaging. The box was very light but extremely strong corragated cardboard with 4 puzzle-like vertical locking inserts ensuring a very snug fit, but sliding out one panel allowed the others to be removed with no risk of damage. The carafe is well made and thick walled. I also received a bonus gift of two travel water bottles that was unexpected.

Nice quality, elevates my water area very well and the look of it is very nice

I like the product as I wanted (and now have!) a small water dispenser to offer water to my clients post-massage. I ordered the one with the blue stripe, but received the solid white crock. It's ok, as it matches the decor, but not what I ordered. Seems very sturdy. Have not had it for long and will update my review as I have more experience with this product.Update: make sure you put the spigot on tightly enough....I hadn't and it was leaking. Tightening according to the directions solved it. Also, it seems to have a very fine crack. Not sure if it's leaking or just a little water spills when dispensing. Not enough to worry about (especially since I tightened the spigot!!). Either way, I'm glad to have this dispenser and my clients appreciate it.

Nice heavy base, holds ice for a LONG time allowing cold water to be enjoyed in the shop. Holds 5 gal bottle easily .

All you need is the crock, a lightweight cotton towel with a fairly tight weave, the crock and the plastic seating ring (comes with crock), two new binge chords and a wooden adjustable planter base! It is working like a champ. Me bungies eliminate mold spores from being near brew.

the spigot leaked from the beginning. I woke up to a huge water mess.

This is the one to get!! I ordered a New Wave Enviro first because it was cheaper. It arrived in a thin flimsy box and was shattered, and a it's made of thin, cheap feeling porcelain. Amazon refunded me money. If you read their reviews, mine was not the only one to arrive damaged because of bad shipping.Then I ordered this one. It came beautifully double boxed with packing to protect it. It's made of a more solid weight material and instructions to put it together, which is simple. Note, the lid is separate since some people may want to simple use an upturned water bottle but we got the lid.Ours came with 2 faucets and it uses 2 washers which are included but we've had no drips or leaks so far.Its a very light grey, not white but I actually like that, it looks more natural. We washed it when we first go it it, using a little bleach to be sure it was completely sanitary and are using it happily.
