Jug Buyer’s Guide
A versatile jug is a must-have for any kitchen, especially if you regularly have guests or neighbours round for a catch up!

Capacity
Water jugs are available in a range of sizes. Those that hold 2L or more are great for large households, although they can be harder to store. Jugs with just a 1L capacity are great for smaller households.
Design
Jugs come in an array of styles, from tall and narrow designs that slot easily into fridge doors, to wide jugs that are perfect for hot coffee. Most water jugs are simple in design, pairing well with both contemporary and traditional decor.
Practical design features include a sturdy, ergonomic handle and an easy pour spout. Some jugs have a grippy base for added convenience.
Durability
Water jugs should last for years, and those made from stainless steel, borosilicate glass or plastic tend to be the most durable. Ensure you take care of your jug according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and check the temperature resistance before filling it with very hot or cold liquids.
Ease of Cleaning
Most jugs can be cleaned in the dishwasher, although some will be too large to fit in. Those with a wide mouth are easier to clean by hand.
Jugs FAQ
How to clean a water jug?
Cleaning a water jug by hand is very easy, and the mistake people make is not cleaning them enough! To start, rinse the jug with clean and warm water to remove any residue. Fill the jug with hot soapy water and add a cup of white vinegar.
Swirl the jug so the solution moves throughout, then empty and rinse a few times with warm water. Leave the jug to dry naturally upside down.
Conclusion
A water jug is an extremely handy purchase, whether you use it every day or only take it out of storage for cocktail parties! For its large capacity, stylish design and ease of cleaning, the Susteas 2L Glass Jug is our top recommendation.
