Is the top lid supposed to have a plastic gasket on it so that the beverage can't just slosh out when the pitcher is moved?

The lid does not have a gasket. However I have not found that to be an issue - I don't move it after I fill it. Hope that helps

Sorry Kristine - I did not keep my container as it arrived broken at the dispensing spigot. I do not recall any gasket on the top.

Mine didn't come with one so you have to be very careful with it, I wish it had, it moves around when you have to move it

Looks like the lid gasket is either worn or was sized wrong. If it's new they should send you a new one, otherwise you can look into getting a new gasket. Something that might work is adding layers of Teflon tape around the current gasket until it stays on, but note that whatever material you use could end up leaching into your beverage if the liquid contacts it.

The box doesn't say and the lid doesn't say. The lid doesn't seal, it's really more like a "strainer" to keep any solids (ice or fruit) in the pitcher while you pour. So I have given up using the lid and I just use one of those stretchy plastic covers that look like a small shower cap, to cover the pitcher.

Mine came with a lid. And it's the pitcher, not the mug. Not sure why some do and some don't.

Yes, the lid is plastic, if the thermo is not up right the food can make contact.

It does not. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the lid. Hope this helps!

Yes, the lid has a lever on top that you rotate to the Open position to drink and the Closed position when you need it to be sealed.

Yes, there is a black rubber seal on top. I assume it's there to keep the glass top secured to the bottom of the ss lid. I like it cuz it matches my SS appliances which also have black on them.

The tea mug version of this item has a lid, but this pitcher, however, does not.

No, but the pitcher is glass and very very heavy. Plus it sits deep enough in the well that i9is

The gasket under the cap has a slit in it that is intended to fit on the disc-like protrusion near the inside end of the nozzle. Mine was installed like a normal gasket by the manufacturer. Once I put the gasket around the disc everything worked fine. Now the only time it leaks is when I try to hold up that much weight for too long and end up bending the cap connection by resting too much weight on the nozzle. Personal strength will determine how often you need to take a break when pouring, but I've had that problem with any gas container I've ever had that was more than 2 gallons.

Yes. And it is easier to put the lid on. The lid on the square pitcher is somewhat hard to put on. I only use this one.

I have never had that problem but maybe just check that there is nothing in the ice compartment and that the pitcher is seated properly in the base.

I'm happy with the the gasket that came with the pitcher. I don't advise making a rubber gasket.

I haven't had any problems with the lid so far. I agree that putting a finger on it while pouring can't hurt. My main issue is that the spout is larger than the spout on my previous, larger Brita pitcher, so water pours out faster and I have to be careful not to over-pour. It's a matter of getting used to the pitcher, in my opinion.

No, the lid is very secure when tightened. You could hold the pitcher upside down and it wouldn't leak.

It does have a foam gasket on the top lid but with the sun and wind warping it it might leak in high wind or after setting in the hot sun as it appears the sides raise up a little! so far my winch and accesssories are dry! hope this helps!
