    Title of Your Idea:
    Brita pitcher
    What's Your Idea?:

     Please, Please make a larger pitcher.  Say a one gallon size.  Biug enough I can fill the coffee maker and still have a little left in the pitcher  ,  I have to make O>J> and fill the pet dishes.  I also like to fill my sun tea jug. and make koolaid,  I need a larger size.  I would also like to see you go back to the original lids.  I do not like the tip that swivels up.  I often like to pour out the water that has filtered to the bottom before everything has finished filtering through the top.  This is impossible to do with the new flip nozzel,  It makes a mess and pours out everywhere.  Thank you

      Thank you for your feedback.  What size of pitcher are you thinking of?  It will be hard to make a pitcher that hold more than 1 gallon as it becomes too heavy to carry.  Can you please give more details on how new lid leads to a spill?  I also don't have the patience to wait until the water is fully filtered and will pour out beforehand.  Thanks.

         I think a ole gallon size would be perfect.  Its still manageable to handle.  If you have nothiced the newer tops have a tiy little flip up peice of plastic over the spicket nozzle part.  Even if you try to hold that peice down it will still leak from the sides.  The older pitchers are one solid peice of plastic with no moving parts.  It can be held down firmly to allow for early pouring without the top unfiltered portion of water pouriong out.   I wish there was a way I could draw a sketch of what i am tlking about.  Sorry I am having a hrad time explaining it.

          I see what you mean now after I examine my own Brita pitcher.  I did have that small flip up piece of plastic got loose once, but I put it back.  Mine is pretty tight, so I don't have the problem you described, but I would let Product Development group knows that it has become a concern.  Thanks for your feedback!

             Its not really a mfg problem its the design it loosley flips up to allow easy pour of filtered water. if you try to pour before its all filtered it will come out of that spout so i try to [ress the lid on tight for the unfiltered top water to not come out and only the bottom filtered water to pour. This spout wont let me cheat like this and leaks out,
