I bought many products from the FormAdore store, but for the first time I was disappointed. At the time of purchase, the steel flange was already peeled off the glass and should be securely fastened. I didn't advertise it, however, it didn't bother me that much, but it should have alerted me. I bought a cork for this carafe, the same company, dedicated to this carafe and when I tried to put this cork on correctly (if you can put it on incorrectly) the edge of the carafe broke. The manufacturer found mechanical damage and rejected the complaint. If the carafe breaks when putting on the cork, it is clearly a production defect or a problem with the product design itself.
