FYI: OE Lido 2 jar threads compatible with Better Than Boullion jars

The threads on Better Than Boullion jars are compatible with the Lido 2. You might be interested in this if you're into upcycling, if you need a replacement glass jar and like soup, if you're sick of grounds accumulating on top of the jar's rim and falling onto the counter, etc.

  • Smaller than the original jar, but large enough for two or three servings
  • The glass walls are just as thick (if not slightly thicker) than the original's
  • The shoulder of the BTB jar is lower. Where the original's shoulders are what stops it from screwing all the way in, the BTB jar fully seats against the internal stops and reduces the buildup of grinds on the top of the jar's rim (which some people have already solved with the O-ring mod).

Better Than Boullion is found in your local supermarket (in the northeast USA, at least). It costs maybe a dollar more than the official OE jar but you get to eat soup and save on shipping.

And of course if you need boullion, it's my personal favorite available at the grocery store.

Thanks! I still wonder why they picked a random obscure thread depth/pitch instead of something common and standardized, like that of Ball/Mason/Kerr small mouth canning jars.

Oh thank you! The original jar for my LIDO 2 just slipped out of my hand and shattered ten minutes ago. Just saw this post mentioned on Twitter after searching for a replacement.

BLESS YOU. I've been on the lookout for a replacement jar since the original OE one is just terrible. I ended up paying for that washer set since the mess was bugging me. It's nice to know I can get a replacement jar without having to pay $10+ for it shipped.

I recently bought a LIDO ET and bought some glass jars, which I thought would be compatible. Trying to put the glass jar on my ET isn't as easy and fluent as one would think.....
