64 oz Wide-Mouth Mason Jar
The jar holds 64 oz and measures 6.2 inches wide by 8.4 inches tall. Coffee grounds absorb some water and the filter column displaces more, so the drinkable yield is below the number on the box, but it is still a batch that lasts one person several days, and one owner singles out not having to make a new batch every day as the best part of it. One owner fits it in a refrigerator door and on any shelf. The wide mouth is the practical win: grounds pour straight into the filter, and a hand fits inside for washing. The glass is heavy-duty, food-grade soda lime, and more than one owner remarks on its thickness. Glass has real advantages for coffee. It does not absorb odors or stain the way some plastics can, and it keeps the flavor clean from batch to batch. Its weakness is heat, covered below, and a full jar of glass and liquid is a solid weight to lift, so the lid's handle earns its place.
