- Is the cork lid leak-proof?
- Treat it as splash-resistant at best. Cork does not compress like a silicone gasket, so do not lay the jar on its side or carry liquids in a bag.
- What can I store in it?
- Dry goods work best: coffee beans, loose tea, oats, pasta, rice, sugar, spices and nuts. For liquids or oily sauces, choose a jar with a rubber-sealed lid.
- How much does it hold?
- 500 ml, about 16.9 oz, which is roughly a standard bag of coffee or a small bag of oats. It is a countertop size, not a bulk bin.
- Can the cork lid go in the dishwasher?
- Wash the glass by hand or on a gentle cycle, but keep the cork out of the dishwasher and out of soaking water. Cork warps and cracks when it dries out repeatedly.
- Does the cork keep contents fresh?
- It slows air exchange but is not airtight. For coffee or spices you plan to keep for months, an airtight clip-lid jar holds freshness better.
- Is it good for meal prep or lunch bags?
- No. It is not sealed for transport, and glass plus a loose cork lid is a poor fit for a bag. Use it for shelf storage instead.
