Hello AT,
Why oh why can't you get a COOL-looking water filtration pitcher? I am looking for one that I swear I saw somewhere. Something in glass or steel that takes Brita filters. Can anyone help?
Please! Bridget

Bridget, good question. We have to admit we have only seen PUR and Britta pitchers in our neck of the woods and suspect that these folks have a lock on the market as they sell the filters that only fit into their pitchers. Now if someone else made a pitcher that fit their filters, that might be an interesting business....
What we would recommend instead is filtering your water at the tap and using your own pitcher or any style you like. That's what we do. We use Pyrex lab flasks around our house.
Anyone else?

FYI, the Lisa glass brita-compatible pitcher is now available for online purchase.
A company called Swizz Style seems to be the US distributor. They're charging ~$50 plus $9 s&h. Checkout is through Paypal.
(I'm fairly plastic-avoidant these days, and I don't have kids so breakability isn't a concern. Plus the Lisa is a lot nicer looking than the average Brita pitcher.)
Lisa is no longer made, I found a glass water pitcher with a filter at:

Here's a Brita-brand glass pitcher (they call it a jug; maybe that will help with everyone's searches!) at the Amazon UK site:
