Humble House SAUERKROCK TAP Kombucha Crock with Stainless Steel Spigot and Cotton Cloth Cover - 5 Liter (1.3 Gallon) Ceramic Water Dispenser Jar in Classic Black for Continuous Brewing

This has been in constant use since I bought it four months ago. It works wonderfully for making kombucha. I just toss it in the dish washer after every batch to sanitize it, and it comes out perfectly clean each time.The spigot is well made and a real game changer when it comes to bottling your product with ease. When the liquid level depletes beneath the spigot, you can simply tilt the entire unit in order to get the last of the batch out.I've never had any leakage issues with this vessel whatsoever. According to some of the other reviews, your milage may vary, but it appears that the manufacturer is proactive in remedying these issues if you happen to get a defective one and contact them.I'm taking off one star because there were some minor flaws on mine. These are purely cosmetic issues that don't affect functionality. You probably wouldn't notice them unless you took a hard look at the vessel. It's minor enough where it doesn't bother me, but at this price point, I believe it's worth noting.I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested in efficiently producing large amounts of kombucha for personal use.

If I could give my new crock a 10 star rating I would. It is perfect. I'm a senior woman (81) and able to lift it with no problem. I had one small question and my emails were promptly answered. This is a great company! Would definitely buy again.

I am loving my new container for continuous kombucha brewing! I have been making kombucha for many years, almost 10, but I've never tried continuous brewing! So far, so great! This vessel was received in near perfect condition minus a few indents, and is SO MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE than having many glass brewing jars on my counter! I can do the same amount of 3 batches but in one neat container and I am loving pouring it off into bottle for second fermentation EASILY!!! Making kombucha doesn't feel like a chore anymore! Love it!

Today I received the replacement for my damaged crock. It began to crack after a year of use. I used it for continuous brew kombucha. And it did a wonderful job! It sat quietly doing its thing. Then the cracks. I noticed that several were matching cracks, inside and outside. I wrote to Humble House and explained, including pictures.They were so kind to write back and inquire further. Then they offered to replace it. It took a while. Yet I’m grateful. They knew it was past a warranty period.They’re a family business. I get it. I’m also a business owner, and I try to understand and respond respectfully to my customer’s concerns. Good business is built on good relationships. So, while the crock was cracked, the response was whole hearted. I gave it 5 stars because it worked beautifully, and there’s integrity in the business.

This is a very well made crock. My suggestion would be to also offer a top for it. I am using it as a vinegar pot so a cork, wooden or ceramic top would be a nice option. My husband was able to search and find a top. The ivory color coordinates so well in our kitchen. It is a nice piece to keep out on display.

The crock came the first time with a large red mark sealed in the glaze. I instantly asked for a replacement which was honored. The second item came with less noticeable brown marks in the glaze. I didn’t want to wait again so I didn’t try for another. Buyer beware, it seems unlikely to get a replacement without flaws.

So I wanted to bring kombucha into my home but I knew my spouse would freakkk out at the sight of it. Enter this gorgeous crock that does its job perfectly! Great kombucha that you cannot see!!! Perfect. Only issue I ran into is the temp sticker that came with it did not work well/was very hard to see. Added another one from another company and the second sticker worked fine and was able to gauge exactly what the temp was inside the crock. Definitely recommend this gorgeous crock for any kombucha folks out there. It's so pretty to have on display instead of hiding in a dark corner with the boogey man.

So much to like! It's the perfect size for a week's consumption, and the food-safe metal spigot means you can make "continuous flow" beverage, from week to week. Note that using the spigot means no need for sloppy siphons. The clay makes for a more stable temperature. The lip is designed to attach a cloth cover with no effort. Cleaning will be super easy, when the time comes -- hot water and then some vinegar. The size (5 liters, or a US gallon plus room) means the vessel is easy to carry and store, out of the way. It's also an attractive piece -- my parents used to collect pottery, and they would have loved the look and feel of this. Delivery was swift and secure; it arrived packed in just the right sort of box, without too much unnecessary paper and plastic. The kicker is that when I needed help (on questions about a protective blue film covering the washers and about how to clean), I got complete, cheerful answers within minutes via e-mail. In sum, a 100% flawless transaction. I look forward to buying another one – maybe larger-volume crockpot they now offer. Overall, a great product, almost a work of art, and fantastically good service.

Absolutely love the new crocks - great job

delivered promptly. Item as shown on image

I bought it to make continuous Kombucha. It was the most reasonably priced and is doing the job very well without any problems

I really liked this, but wish it can with some sort of covering. It was also far to small for the needs of somebody making batches for second fermentation. You would only get about 6 bottle a batch, maximum.

Le pot semblait couler par le robinet, j’ai tout vidé pour constater que le pot était complètement fissuré et que le kombucha suintait à travers les craques. Beaucoup d’argent directement à la poubelle.
