Filter jug

A filter jug to contain water or other liquid, the jug comprising a first compartment to receive liquid from a supply, a second compartment to hold filtered liquid to be poured from an outlet of the second compartment and a filter chamber through which liquid must pass from the first compartment to the second compartment, the filter chamber having a removable lid with a projection extending into the chamber and the chamber containing a filter medium, the filter medium being present in a flexible bag having a liquid-pervious wall and the projection of the removable lid of the filter chamber being shaped and dimensioned to extend into the chamber to urge the flexible bag against the walls of the chamber so as to eliminate air gaps through which water could bypass the filter medium in the bag.
