I never got the chance to use this because it was broke out of the box. I love the look of the canister. It is extremely lightweight, however very breakable. I did try to test the dispensing knob and it is not an easy one hand dispenser. I had to hold it still in order to twist the knob.

The dispenser is plastic but gives the illusion of glass. It is a bit opaque and the color doesn’t allow you to see clearly into the dispenser. It is extremely light which makes it great to move from place to place, even when it’s fully full it’s not over the top heavy. It can hold a lot which means you don’t have to keep refilling it. The spigot was a little hard to turn and would be a little awkward to do with one hand. Overall I would use this to upgrade a backyard bbq or to take some place that glass might be problematic.

To be honest, I haven't had a chance to use it for a party yet. But the design is absolutely beautiful. The tinted glass looks very classy and high end. I think it would stand out on the countertop. I especially love the wood lid. It feels sturdy and looks great.
