I got this as a gift. Mine doesn't have a logo on the front of a pitcher. The glass liner is purple coated. Why?

Although mine looks exactly like the one pictured it doesn't have a logo. It's a "Baker's & Chefs" brand that says on the box "Distributed by SamsClub" (although purchased on Amazon's website from "The Shops" (a storefront I guess)). Go figure. The glass liner does not look purple-coated. But there is a purple-ish gasket at the top of the liner. I paid $31. P.S. I love it; the lever pump works great and it keeps hot long enough (but maybe not 8 hours). At $35 it's still very worth it.

Absolutely, the reason is tempered borosilicate glass. I pour boiling hot water into it all the time - no problems. Yes it is thin and this helps keep the temperature differential down. I agree you should make sure the pitcher is at room temperature before shocking it with hot water.

The glass pitcher has made in Japan printed on it. The whisker part is not printed, although on there site they say that it is made in Japan.

Hi Jesse,There are no logos or lettering on the glass at all. It's a very classy design that attracts comments and looks.

The length of the pitcher may be a little too big for a cube sized fridge. In my full size fridge the pitcher stands pretty tall on the shelf. Perhaps you should try a filtered water bottle instead.

There is the blender glass pitcher, the metal piece with the revolving blades, and the plastic screw cap. Place the glass pitcher up-side-down on the counter. Now place a rubber 'O Ring' on the bottom rim of the glass pitcher (which is facing upwards, since the pitcher is up-side-down). Follow this by placing the metal piece with the blades on top of the 'O Ring' (so that the blades are inside the glass pitcher). Lastly, screw on the plastic screw cap that fits on the bottom of the glass pitcher. Make certain that the screw cap is on tight so that whatever you put in the glass pitcher to be blended doesn't leak out from the bottom. This should do it!

I no longer have the box so I checked the glass pitcher and there's nothing on it to indicate where it was made. The red lid has two symbols on the bottom, a recycling symbol and a dishwasher symbol. On the top something that looks like "Pasabahce" which might be the brand, and I found this website for it: pasabahce(dot)com. And their page for this pitcher: http://www.pasabahce.com/urunler/kataloglar/service-line/kanalar/43414.aspx

Yes, and contrary to what the company argues it doesn't last as long as the old design. When the top of pitcher is filled with tap water, some of the filter material floats out into the water on top of filter. Was an outstanding product until company became greedy and started recycling filters in El Paso (or maybe they are taken across the border)? Those that don't know that there was a design change must be fairly recent customers.

The pitcher is NOT made of glass but of, "Stain, cloud and odor proof, durable, high temperature material with glass-like clarity" as stated in the description. It IS some type of plastic.

it's plastic....put it can still break. . . as I found out this evening. sigh. I'm sure it'll be cheaper to just buy a whole new unit rather than replace the pitcher. I may decide to get a nutri ninja. I may just get nothing. #sadface

The manufacturer does not make or sell pitchers of any kind. We do not know the manufacturer of this specific pitcher or where to find it. That being said, we do sell glass water pitchers that are similar but not exactly the same.

I wondered the same thing but this pitcher is definitely glass. The top is plastic.

It has something to do with the way the reserve is reset in the unit. My husband fills it with a pitcher and has not had any further trouble

Hi. They don't make it. The only one with glass pitcher is model number ksb565er which I have some left. Thank you

I emailed Hamilton Beach last week and they finally got back to me (2 - 3 days, my foot). Anyway, the exact response from them says directly that there is no BPA in this model. Here is their exact response:Model 40911 does not contain BPA. The pitcher material is made of SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), which is an FDA approved plastic. -------------------So, it looks like you should be good to go. Now I gotta go and buy this thing, based on these reviews. :)

Additional information: The logo on the pitcher belongs to Update International. That company distributes restaurant equipment. They had the frothing pitcher made with their name on it. I suggest you contact them. They have a web page. Goggle Search for Update International.

They must have changed the design because mine just arrived (8/1/14) and it is NOT glass lined. It's stainless steel inside and out. This does address all the negative feedback about the glass breaking since there is no glass to possibly break in this updated model, but I was expected glass inside based on the previous responses.
