How big is it? Seems like pretty essential information, but I can't see it on the page. The entire top half seems to be made of glass, so it's pretty big relative to the amount of water it carries.

I'm not sure if having a filter delivered to you every two months is all that sustainable. And the people I know who filter their water wouldn't want any kind of plastic in it's path; but the people who filter water here are pretty fanatic about that. I guess the main attraction in the US is to get rid of the chlorine?

Oh and $33 per delivery also seems like a lot? Are filters that expensive? (The page says the 3 filters in the first real pledge are $100+ in value.)

(Edit: it's $15, see below, much more reasonable, sorry about that.)

This also includes the value of the pitcher! The filters come to you for $15 every two months
D'oh, yeah, sorry, at second glance it's fairly obvious.
Also it's big enough to hold five eight-ounce glasses.
