Does this pitcher have a strainer to prevent ice, fruit, etc. from pouring out into glasses?

There is no strainer, but the opening is not that big that large pieces of ice or fruit should not pour into the glass.

Yes the strainer comes with it. You can contact the seller. I contacted the seller for something else and their service was excellent.

Yes, it comes with the plastic pitcher that attaches to the machine, so there's no juice spillage.

Yes. I've been making iced tea in mine and pouring boiling water directly into the pitcher. No hint of a problem. As always when putting hot liquids in glass, it's best to pour in a little and swirl it around to heat the glass a bit before pouring in the rest.

I bought my ice bucket in January 2013 and it has a strainer. It is essential for draining away melting water from the main pack of ice. If advertised "not included" then you are loosing an essential part of the ice bucket's function.

It has no cooling device or insulation, so it's like a glass pitcher. If you put ice in with the drink, it will keep the beverage cold until the ice melts.

Yes - It's not as fine a strainer as the screen ones that you can insert into a pot, but at the opening to the spigot on the inside there is a strainer.

No, there is a space in the front where you pour. The lid is suctioned so it won't fall off when you pour. I really like the pitcher, but if you are looking for something airtight it's not. To cover the space I put wax paper over the top and hold it on with a rubber band.

No - there are two pouring spouts. The lid has a deep lip but it does not extend far enough to completely cover the spouts. The lip incorporates two different patterns of holes to act as strainers when the lid is aligned appropriately.

The one pictured, and it has ridges at the bottom that filter the liquid. It is NOT an ovular t-ball kind of strainer with holes to filter.

Yes! There are drainage holes throughout the entire base of the strainer. The solid base piece is an open ring and does not impede drainage at all. It is a fabulous strainer. I have had both sizes for several years now and love them. Best strainers I have ever had, and they are very easy to clean.

Yes. The juice goes into a pitcher with a lid. The spout where the juice comes out goes into the pitcher, the lid fits over it so you don't get juice splattering all over the place. You can then pour right from the pitcher.

Yes, I regularly pour boiling water into the pitcher to brew ice tea. Holds up fine, hasn't cracked or broken.

The short pitcher pours fine. I make smoothies and pour it into a regular glass no problems. Plus the short pitcher fits under my cabinets.

I have looked and looked for a glass pitcher that will withstand boiling water, but have found very few that do. This particular pitcher is well made, but I've never attempted to put billing water in it. I use it for iced tea. I make the tea in a separate kettle and allow it to cool a bit before I pour it into the pitcher. Also, I put hot water from the tap in the pitcher before I pour the tea into it in order to help warm up the glass. As I understand it, the reason many glass pitchers crack from boiling water is because of the temperature difference between the glass and the water...so, I always warm up the pitcher a bit first.

Mine came with a pitcher and a strainer. Pour the fresh soymilk through the strainer into the pitcher.
