Okay, so I finally got my hands on the S'well 1.5L Carafe in Onyx, and here's the tea (or should I say, iced tea?).
First off, this thing is GORGEOUS. The sleek stainless steel design looks so fancy on my countertop—like it belongs in a minimalist influencer's kitchen. And the triple-layered insulation? LEGIT. My ice water stayed icy for a full 24 hours (I timed it because I'm extra like that).
BUT (and this is a big but)... where's the dang lid?! Apparently this is a common issue based on other reviews. Mine arrived lidless too. Like hello S'well, we're paying premium prices here!
The spout pours beautifully though—no drips! I've been using it for cold brew and sangria at parties, and everyone keeps asking where I got it. Just wish there was an included cover to keep bugs out when using outdoors.
Final verdict? 4/5 stars. Keeps drinks insanely cold, looks expensive AF, but the missing lid situation is ridiculous for the price point. Pro tip: maybe order from somewhere with easy returns just in case.
