I’ve been using Brita filter jugs for over 30 years and as we are in a very hard water area they eventually degrade so we change them when they no longer can be cleaned. We’ve probably had five or six jugs, including at least one glass one, over the years and we’ve generally been pretty impressed. However, the Alina has been a big disappointment as there is no way of filling it without removing the lid every time. This is a very poor bit of design, in my opinion, although I’d assume it was done to keep prices down. A false economy because of the frustration caused by it being a very tight fit and being quite difficult to refit at times. Too much force and the inner reservoir can be forced down into the jug. Uncharacteristically lousy design choice from the folks at Brita. I will buy another jug sooner or later but I’ve learned my lesson with the Aluna.
