   @schratze the type of glass definitely plays a role (not the cost but whether or not it was tempered). Some glass expands/contracts a lot more than others.
   
   The metal balls you use to wash could also be causing small scratches that lead to weaker spots in the glass.

     it doesn't make any difference if it's a 3 euro or a 30+ euro bottle btw. They all just crack at some point

     my usual workflow is
     -cook 1.25 L of tea
     -pour into two glass bottles
     -top up with water
     -wait until room temperature
     -put in fridge overnight
     -enjoy iced tea the next morning

     I clean the bottles with a combination of brushes, sponges, rice and metal balls. But sometimes I just pour dish soap and boiling water directly into them and then they cracked. Today, a bottle cracked while pouring the not-boiling-anymore tea into it.

     What can I use to make ice tea that doesn't break after like 8 weeks?

     I have destroyed so many glass bottles over these last couple of months.

     Does anyone have any recommendations for containers that can hold 1 L of liquid, are easy to clean and can withstand boiling water being poured into them without cracking?
