It’s so easy to to just fill with as much coffee as you like and then fill with water then sit in the fridge over night. It is plastic not glass but it’s durable and lightweight with a nice handle.

Raving Review: I love everything about these bowls! They’re glass with the exception of the plastic lid and silicone sides. I love that I can take the silicone off to clean. When heating the container (lid off), the silicone provides a nice divide between my hands and the hot glass once getting out of the microwave. The snap on lids provide safe and leak free travel when shuffling to and from my classroom. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for on-the-go containers. –Nicole
