If you are wondering if these are worth it...READ THIS!
I want to preface this by saying that I own 56 of these containers (across almost all of the sizes they come in except the very smallest size) so I won't leave a review on every separate purchase/size but I hope this all-over review helps anyone looking at these for their pantry/home. Let's start with the first thing most people notice...PRICE. I'm not going to lie...these are crazy expensive okay? There's just no doubt about it. Especially if you are building a full pantry of storage containers like I did. But you have to consider them an investment in that unless you are breaking them by tossing them on the ground or not taking precautions like you would with all glass items when moving, you'll never have to replace them like you would plastic containers. And if you don't have money burning a hole in your pocket or saved up for this, you can always buy them over time - the seller has quantity limits that don't allow you to buy crazy quantities too so that may help. QUALITY: The glass itself is reasonably thick and the seal on the lids works amazingly. I haven't had any problems with tearing or wearing down. I personally don't put the lids in the washer and wouldn't recommend it but the bases can go in just fine for the more tough cleaning. The brand is etched into the bottom of the containers which is nice but something to consider if you don't like that sort of thing. PREPARATION: These all came in super protected shipping boxes with forms in them to keep them in place so they wouldn't break in transit which I appreciated a ton. There are also NO STICKERS! For anyone that buys organizational containers you know the dreaded sticker residue battles that can happen. These don't come with sticker labels anywhere and that saves so much time! AESTHETICS: For me, I searched for a really long time to find containers that I would be happy with overall but ultimately the style of these containers were why I bought them over other containers. In addition to them being durable, food safe and easy to clean, these are completely clear. Clear bases, clear lids, clear-ish seal. From my perspective that meant that no matter where I live, how I display them/what I use them for, or what room they go into they will perfectly match the space every time. They don't just look like they are exclusively kitchen containers. ------------------------- So if you've made it this far and think these may be for you I wanted to note a couple things from my buying experience as well. 1. Shipping was extremely fast and efficient 2. No problems with the seller or with receiving any of my packages (so far..I have one left to be delivered) 3. Packaging is great and sturdy 4. Each box will come with a little pamphlet and a note - The pamphlet for the most part is not in English if you care about that - I recycled all of mine. The note gives a coupon code for future purchases but when I tried to use it, it didn't work. Not a big deal for me but wanted to mention it. 5. The seller DOES have quantity limits for individual transactions. Depending on what size you're looking for that means you may have to make multiple purchases. SIZING!!!!!!!!! 6. The sizing may confuse the heck out of you if you're anything like me. Don't just trust the images/descriptions that go by fluid oz! I would say the "ideal for" lists in the images are pretty accurate but you REALLY want to pay attention when buying these and if you're concerned even a little - size up! 10 fl oz containers - These fit small amounts of loose tea. I use them for superfood powders. Less than 4oz of dry powder! The seal on all sizes goes reasonably down from the top of the base so it takes up space. I don't own the ones listed at 8oz but can't even imagine what you'd store in those. 15 fl oz/450ml - Again I use these for super food powders but I can fit 5oz of dry powder in these. 23.6oz/700ml - These I use for grains/seeds/lentils/loose pasta. I wouldn't store anything incredibly bulky in these. The 10/15/23.6 oz containers are all the same diameter and just change in height for sizing. 27oz/37oz - This is where the containers get wider in diameter and shorter in height. I use both of these for pastas/nuts..things that are slightly more bulky but don't come in giant packages. I can fit a 16oz bag of superfood powder in the 27oz or a 1lb bag of cacao nibs in the 37 with room. I also store baking stuff like sugars/specialty flours in these just fine, though I wouldn't try to store big bags of general flour in any of these containers (all sizes) as the mouths are narrow and may not fit a fill measuring cup for scooping. 55oz/65.5oz - The diameter on the two largest sizes is the same as the 27/37 but they're the tallest available containers. I've seen some reviews get upset because of images of tall pasta in the 55...you CANNOT fit standard box spaghetti in the 55..you'll want the 65 if you're trying to store spaghetti pasta in these. I fit 16oz of goji berries in the 55 with a little room..again you're going to want to pay close attention to the size of what you're storing because bulky items don't store like powders that take up all of the space. The 65 is great for pastas, oats, trail mixes etc. ------------------------------------- All in all I LOVE these containers and don't regret buying them at all. I hope this helped!
