This is fantastic way to have perfectly filtered water! Love how easy and compact it is!
Love how easy it is to refill with water, and pour while it filters.
It filters super quick and takes the bad taste of city water out. The filters last two months and are a good price.
An absolute must if you have hard water - makes all the difference for a great-tasting cup of tea!
I love this thing! It's an excellent price and way easy to use.
Really like fits nicely on the fridge door. Easy to use. Using it for drinking water I have another one I use for my tea
Great value, and great function. We keep our drinking water pitcher in the fridge, which is not ideal for heating up water in my VelociTea. I bought this so I could keep fresh, filtered, room-temperature water on hand at all times. It filters well, and quickly, and doesn't take up too much space on the counter. Easy to refill and change the filter.
It's pretty easy to use, I'd say the biggest draw back is the time it takes to refill it. But it's a decent price on sale, helps with my very hard local water, and doesn't take up much space. Not a bad place to start if you're new to water filters.
It does improve the flavor of the water (minor for me), and it filters quickly, which is nice as I use it for drinking, my tea, and the mister for my ball python (Hey, it's true)
We have VERY hard water and it is gross to drink or even boil. I was sick of buying bottled water so I went out on a limb and bought the GraviTEA and it is amazing. I use it for my pets and for tea. I fill it with filtered water from a faucet filter and it leaves a tiny amount of calcium in the bottom of my kettle but it s hardly noticeable and the tea tastes great like it did when using bottled water. I love it.
Update-I bought my second pitcher after 2 years of constant use with my first one. I love this pitcher. You are able to take it apart completely to get it clean which I have had to do many times. I had mine sort of in front of a window so it grew algae and although I cleaned it regularly it kept coming back so I rearranged my setup and bought a new one and keep it out of any light. I'm hoping with that change and weekly taking it apart and cleaning it will last even longer.
I like the GraviTea, and think it does a good job filtering my water. I also like that Adagio periodically sends me replacement filters. They do so many nice things for their customers!
The water in my office is... flavorful, to say the least, and the buildup of 'stuff' inside my recently-retired electric kettle meant I was constantly cleaning it. The GraviTEA holds plenty of water, filters quickly, fits just about anywhere, and it works! The water tastes cleaner (perfect for making tea) and while I'll still plan to clean my new kettle regularly, it looks like there's a lot less buildup!
I'm on my second Gravitea pitcher due to it being dropped and broken, bought a backup third one now too! My whole household uses it and loves the way the water tastes alone and to make tea with.
The filtered water is great. I like that it calculates for me how many uses I have left before needing to change the filter (something I am HORRIBLY bad at with my old Brita). I love that adagio will periodically slip a new filter in your cart if you're spending $29. This got a 4 instead of a 5 because the interior fittings are a bit confusing. The pull out filter section easily fits into the water jug both in the correct position and backwards. Which means if you accidentally put it in backwards, it's VERY VERY hard to tell you've done so until you try and figure out how to put the lid back on and break one of the connectors. The pitcher still functions fine, but I'm annoyed that I managed to break it within the first hour. Even then, it wasn't clear what happened until another user pointed out the error!
This is very easy to use and not a bad looking pitcher. I am hoping that it will reduce the buildup in my electric kettle. I'll update after I use it for a bit.
It works very well and filters quickly. I really like the display to remind me when the filter needs a replacement.
(My first order came with a broken handle and customer service got a new one shipped out to me so quickly! Thank you, team for making sure I'm back on track!!)
Things I like: 1. easy to grab and hold. It's not too heavy or weirdly balanced. 2. I like the flap on the lid for easy filling, and for keeping things closed up without having to mess with the lid. 3. slender size fits in fridge nicely. 4. filters quickly (not at first, but by the second day of use it was good to go).
Things I don't like as much: 1. The water insert is hard to get in the pitcher. It isn't immediately obvious which direction it goes, so I spent a ridiculous amount of time frustrated that I couldn't get it in, and then felt like a dummy when I realized I had it backwards (hopefully a one-time problem now that I'm aware). 2. The lid is hard to get on as well (which makes me more thankful for easy fill flap). 3. The countdown clock on my pitcher doesn't work. I've tried holding it down for various amounts of time, but it won't come on. 4. The filter adds some sort chlorine-ish flavor that isn't there straight from the tap (my husband and son have dubbed it 'hotel water' and won't drink it).
Overall, the cons are not that big of a deal to me (I don't think it tastes as bad as the rest of my family) and I will continue to use it. As is, it is more like 3-1/2 stars. If the counter worked, it would get 4.
I've sured my pitcher for 4 months. I have had no issues. I'll be giving a few as gifts to my tea drinking friends.
Love the GraviTEA! It does a great job of filtering out the extra flavors and giving the tea a clean taste. Filters quite quickly and holds a good amount of water. @adagioteas
Easy to use. Pours easy. Never use tap water to make tea.
I was a little skeptical when i got this, but oh wow when I used the water filtered with it for my tea, I started tasting more subtle flavors I hadn t tasted before! I thought everything was pretty easy to put together, though I do feel a bit scared when I try to pop the lid off, I wish it was easier to do without feeling i m about to crack the little clasps @adagioteas
Love how affordable this is. Looks sleek. Filters well.
Great water purifier! The design on the top of the lid makes it simple to refill. It really does make a difference to the taste of water. I feel I am actually tasting my teas for the first time. A suggestion for new buyers: make sure you install the inner water basket facing the right way or the lid will not set correctly.
I live in the American southwest, which has very hard water. I agree that the GraviTea has filtered out some of the hardness and made my tea more delicious. The filter is easy to change. But I had to give it four stars because I was never able to get the lid to pop back in after I changed the first and subsequent filters. That may very well be operator error on my part, but be that as it may, I do have to be a bit careful when pouring to hold onto the lid and as I use it every day, it's a constant reminder of the one imperfect aspect of the GraviTea.
Just received this. I was excited to find this as I have a filtration system but the water leaves behind heavy lime deposits in my teapot, this system removes the lime from the water. Well made looks very nice too.
At first I was disappointed by the size of the GraviTEA and I really didn't think it would hold enough water. But now that I've been using it for a few days I realize that looks are deceiving. This sucker actually holds more than enough water to fill my electric kettle and then some. And better yet, it filters water super fast! Takes almost no time to refill. I'm super happy I bought this!
The digital filter replacement timer never worked, but otherwise this seems like a good, quick, effective water purifier.
This is a great, cheap, and easy water pitcher to purify my tea water.
Love this. Great to keep the sediment and calcium out of my kettle. Wonderful tasting tea requires great water. Only gave it a 4 because I struggle to get the lid off to change the filter.
I really really like this water filter. I've noticed it doesn't last the full 2 months for me but the water in my area is particularly bad so that's probably the case.
We love the Gravitea! My tea kettle no longer has build up that requires vinegar cleanings after using water from my refrigerator filtration system. The tea tastes so much better with the double filtered water. We use it for coffee, as well. Definitely a great addition to tea drinkers life. Happy sipping!
I have only been using this for one day, but I really like it. It s very fast, the perfect size, and I love that the thing at the top allows you to pour water in directly.
Love my GraviTEA pitcher more than I thought I would. We have very hard water here. Even though I was using filtered water, I was still having to descale my teapot way too often. Taking the filtered water from my fridge and filtering it again through this pitcher has saved my teapot. I don’t have to descale much at all now plus it makes for a better tasting cup of tea. It did take some ingenuity at first as there were no instructions that came with it. I had to use trial and error to figure out how the lid parts fit together. Thankfully there are at least picture instructions on the filters to show you how to prep and install them. If you want a better tasting cup of tea, water quality really matters.
I love this pitcher. Price was great, it works fast and is so easy to fill! The filter prices are reasonable too. I use this every day.
I'm quite happy with this pitcher. I keep it on the counter for filling the teapot and the coffee maker. I'll report back in another month or two when I would usually start to build limescale in the teapot. But so far, so good.
30 days: no trace of limescale in my teapot
60 days: no trace of limescale in my teapot, even with water sitting unused in the pot for almost 2 weeks. I'm beyond impressed with this filter!
Haven't gotten use this yet. But seems really sturdy and nice!
I have been very pleased with GraviTEA. It is a nice convenient size (makes enough for multiple cups of tea but not super bulky like others I have seen), and is saving me from having to buy bottled water. Great price and will save money in the long run!
UPDATE: I've had the pitcher for just barely a year now. I have to say I'm disappointed overall. Although water quality has been great, some big issues popped up. A couple of months ago, the countdown timer (what's meant to remind you to replace the filter) on the lid went kaput. A minor inconvenience, but not that big of a deal since I can just keep track of this using a recurring event on my phone. No biggie. But then the 'trap door' started sticking before finally not working at all.
But WORST OF ALL... The compartment on the underside of the lid that holds the batteries for that timer popped open to expose corroded batteries. NO BUENO. At this point, I would actually buy a different pitcher, but I already bought into the 6-pack of filters (I have four left at this point). Womp womp.
[Original review]
Fast and effective. Although the first few fill-ups had the unfortunate black specks, but they’ve been gone completely since then. (This isn’t any different from any other filter pitcher I’ve ever owned.)
The water tastes great, and it’s awesome having a super fast-filling pitcher at my little tea station in the kitchen.
Really glad this was available for this price. I like the design and the reasonable price of the filter. A friend got one and loved it so I got one also. This will stay on the desk in my office.
The pitcher works fine, except for the seal around where the filter ball fits in. I just changed the filter for the first time, and now I'm seeing water leaking down into the pitcher around the seal - unfiltered. Our water is fine, so it's not a disaster, but it definitely defeats the purpose of getting a filtering pitcher.
I can tell it is doing it’s job, I’ve watched white sediments that were around my dog’s water bowl completely disappear and not come back (yep - she gets the filtered water too).
This works well. I haven't had mineral scale buildup in my tea kettle since I started filtering my tap water.
I've been using this nonstop since I got it. My biggest (and only) complaint is that I wish the pitcher was a little bit bigger, but otherwise I've found it to be easy to use and the filter water tastes great. Recommended.
I was looking for a good filtered water jug, the ones on Amazon didn t jump out at me, most of them were more money than I was willing to spend. When I saw that the GraviTEA was on sale, I knew I had to get it. Using this has been satisfying. I like how the flap on the top easily opens when pouring water from the tap.
I wanted to test out whether filtered water would give me a better tasting cup of tea, so I bought this to test out the theory. This does a nice job filtering the water, my only complaint is the top part being a little clumsy to properly put on, a few times I thought I fit it on well and ended up with it coming off and spilling a lot of water. Now that I am aware of this, I am much more careful in ensuring that the top is on properly! Does a nice job filtering water, and I like that there is a countdown on the container itself to let you know when to change the filter.
Relatively compact serviceable water filter for road trips. At home, I'm spoiled by a built-in water filtering system. On the road, I needed a filter for making my morning (or afternoon, evening) cup. The GraviTEA is just the right size to fill my electric kettle!
IT FITS IN COMPACT FRIDGES!
So I got this because I really wanted to have clean water on hand for drinking; I live in a very old building with cranky pipes that constantly spew out turgid water you can't see through. But since I have a compact fridge, the Brita unit didn't fit in there. This little guy JUST makes it on both the larger shelf and door, so if you're a compact fridge owner like me...get this gem at a fraction of the price! I haven't even made tea with it, it just makes great drinking water!
My only gripe is it's not dishwasher-safe. Other than that, I'll use this thing til it dies.
This works well, but you have to plan ahead. My boiler is large and I have a large tea pot that I fill every morning and finish by the end of breakfast--not all by myself. ;)
The water is better after filtering, as promised. Larger capacity may be better, but then may be too difficult to pick up and pour from. A conundrum.
It's a wonderful thing to not have to buy bottled water again. My tea and other cooking needs have improved, now if I could just find the replacement filters available
the water that comes from the purifier taste really clean and does it pretty quickly so you can make tea when ever you want with out waiting for your water
