My brother loved it !

My brother loved it !

I gave this to my husband for his birthday. He loves cold brew coffee, and the serving size, ease of use and approachability of this brew bottle made it a great fit. He liked it and used it daily!A few days ago (less than 3 months after purchase), our brew bottle did not crack or shatter as others have shared. Instead, a mysterious tiny hole appeared in the inner wall at the bottom of the bottle. This hole was allowing liquids to move from the inside of the bottle to the air space between the layers of glass. No more insulation! We did not physically drop the bottle, place it in the dishwasher or put it through any extraordinary cold-to-hot temperature abuse.I personally feel this bottle is highly functional and beautifully designed. It's also expensive for what it is--- a daily commuter-type thermos. So, I was disappointed to have it break so quickly. However, I encourage anyone who has such an issue with their bottle to visit soma.com and send a message via the chatbot and/or help form. I received a cordial, helpful response from a representative within a couple hours and was invited to simply share my desired shipping address to receive a full replacement bottle. To be totally candid--- I wasn't even asked to provide an order number or any actual proof of purchase. In my original message, I only included one of the attached images showing the hole.This bottle is beautiful, functional, sort of expensive, but very well supported by a company that clearly cares to take of its customers.

I can't comment too much on the filter functionality as I make my cold brew in big batches via other means. (Would it be fresher if I just pre-ground the beans, then brewed daily? Might have to experiment...) Anyway, what I can say is that this thermos is beautiful and definitely keeps my iced cold brew cold for hours even in this summer heat. It functions perfectly for my use, though--minor gripe--it would be nice if the lid was just one piece. It is easy to clean due to being dishwasher-safe. When I broke my first after a year of use, I stupidly ordered another one before finding out that they would've replaced it for free. I love this thermos so much that I absolutely needed a new one.Now for the downside. Yes, Soma was gracious enough to replace both of my broken thermoses. And yes, I said "both" because as soon as I received my new thermos, I promptly let it slip out of my hands where it dropped a couple of inches, shattering all over the counter and floor just like the first one did except this time with a full bottle of cold brew. I'm still emotionally scarred from that incident. Even though Soma has sought to make me whole again, at this price it seems like if they intended for these to be at all mobile, they would make them out of tempered glass or something that doesn't completely shatter upon impact.Overall though, I'd rate 4.5. Thank you for reading my review, I hope I have helped. :)
