I got this as a replacement to a carafe that was broken. The prior carafe had a stopper that was also used as a small glass. The number one reason that I don't like this carafe is that unless you completely wash the cup and dry it prior to putting it back on, it will stick. I put mouth wash in my carafe in my bathroom and even though I rinsed it with water prior to putting it back on top, it wasn't enough and the tiny amount of residue made it stick together. Then the tiny amount of residue also slide down the side of the carafe and cause the carafe to stick to the plate I had it on and I could only unstick by soaking eveything in warm water. If you are going to use this for water, it would be great, but don't buy it for anything else or you will be stuck with a sticky mess.
