Glass Jar — Thermal Shock
- This kit contains a glass jar. Glass can crack or break if exposed to sudden temperature changes.
- Always pre-warm your jar before adding warm or hot liquids. Fill with warm tap water for 60 seconds, then empty before brewing.
- Never use boiling water. Maximum brewing temperature is 145°F (62°C). DO NOT EXCEED.
- Never add hot liquid to a cold jar.
- Inspect your jar before every use. Do not use if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
- Never handle jar when hot. Handle glass with care. Use the neoprene sleeve or a towel when holding jar.
Filter Handle — Secure Before Use
- Always ensure the jar handle is screwed on completely and securely before lifting by the handle.
- An unsecured handle can detach unexpectedly, causing the filter and contents to fall.
- Never lift or carry the jar by the handle until you have confirmed it is fully tightened.
- Always remove the filter completely from the jar before pouring.
- When carrying or transferring the jar, always support the underside with your other hand. Do not carry by the handle alone, especially when the jar is full.
Neoprene Sleeve
- The sleeve is designed to reduce condensation and provide grip only.
- It does not provide full heat protection.
- Do not place any component of this kit in contact with warm or hot liquids regardless of whether the sleeve is in place.
Pouring Lid & Filling
- This lid is not airtight. Do not shake or invert the jar while the lid is in place.
- Do not use to seal carbonated or pressurized liquids.
- Do not fill jar beyond the recommended fill line when using warm or hot liquids. Overfilling may cause liquid to overflow when the filter is inserted.
Cleaning & Care
- Hand wash filter, lid, and sleeve only.
- Do not place any component in the dishwasher.
- Do not microwave this jar or any component of this kit.
- Inspect filter mesh regularly for damage. Do not use if mesh is torn or compromised.
Children & Supervision

⚠ Cooling — Allow Jar to Cool Before Adding Room Temperature Water, and refrigerating
- After steeping with hot water (approx. 145°F), allow the jar to cool on the counter before adding room temperature water
- Do not add cold water to a jar that is still hot — sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to crack or break or shatter and result in injury.
