Fruit Infusion Pitcher (2.5-qt.) by Prodyne

I have not even used the middle part of the pitcher yet but I just really like the pitcher all by itself. My couin thought hers was for ice? Another idea!

Sounds pretty good, right? Have this cylinder in the middle that holds fruit, etc to flavor the beverage. Until you go to use it for the first time, and the INCREDIBLY CHEAP PLASTIC part where you screw the cylinder into the top of the pitcher basically disintegrates. No man handling, no brute force, just a normal, every day screwing action. Pieces of plastic just started falling out of the lid. Absolutely ridiculous. <br><br>Now, you will note that have not rated this a '1', because there is still some marginal utility in having the fruit filled cylinder in the pitcher. It just does look awfully silly, and not very attractive on your table. <br><br>$20 is a bit much to pay for something that falls apart the first time you use it - most would agree, I expect..........

Thought the concept of this pitcher was neat. Bought it to use at a BBQ we were having. Everyone LOVED it. Not only did the fruit in the middle put out just the right amount of flavor.. It was also visually striking to see! Our favorite was raspberry with sweet tea and strawberry slices and mint leaves with sweet tea!!!

Love to drink lemon water. Be sure to use fresh lemons or the rind can make the water taste bitter. I also want to try rasberry tea.

This is perfect for a gathering. The pitcher is so classy looking, and it holds enough for many. I intend to buy more to give as gifts for Christmas.
