I take this bottle to work with me, and it holds THE RIGHT amount of water. Not too much where I'm going to the bathroom every 10 minutes, but not small so that I have to fill it up all the time. The insulated sides keep my water cool while keeping my hand comfortable. I bought this bottle specifically to hold black tea in the mornings, and so far it has stayed clean despite leaving my tea bag(s) in the bottle for an hour or so. The spout with the twisty top is why I bought this one over others because I like when my bottles have twisty tops rather than click-ins or giant drink holes. It's just a pretty standard water bottle, nothing too fancy about it. The grey color is ok, but I did get some stickers to add to it and make it my own. I'm keeping this one! Read more

This is the 2nd thermos-type "water bottle" I've bought in a month. -- The first, more expensive, actual Thermos brand 24oz ended up being the right size to replace the daily-use, plastic water bottle I was carrying in my tote-purse. But, a tad too small when trying to put two cans of bubble water in plus fresh squeezed citrus/pulp/peel AND ice. -- This 30 oz., generic Amazon brand bottle was the max size I was willing to go to fit in those 2 cans/citrus without moving to one with a formal handle; as, I became concerned of being able to grip with one hand while full of liquid. It met my expectation very well. -- The slick finish takes a larger, full, strong hand to grasp & pour with one hand. Something to consider if buying for a youth (recommend 24oz size thermos instead) or hand size/dexterity concerns. -- The unit is spill proof, but ONLY when the simply designed lid AND cap are fully screwed on (lid screws onto bottle, and attached-cap screws onto lid). -- This is NOT a one handed flip-top, rather a screw top that flips back (yes, rachets into open position so does not flip back closed when in use); so, either two hands will be required to unscew lid, or one if user has the dexterity and surface to set thermos on. -- The spout is easy to drink from. The liquid flows uninhibited. A straw can easily be inserted, but not spill proof at that point. -- 3" diameter bottom feels stable enough, but no rubber to quiet setting in down or grip better to surface set on. Also, it does NOT taper, so it does not fit in my van's dashboard or console cup holders. -- It comes with a built in carrying handle that lies flat when not in use; but, the plastic looks like it will be the first thing to break off after a few drops...and, the screw on attached-cap a close second (which would then negate the spill-proof function--time will tell, as this is 1st day own this new product type). -- Good, wide mouth (2.25") cup opening with a small, curved inside edge. Wide enough to fit a standard kitchen sink scrub brush (unlike smaller 24oz other brand I purchased that requires an actual bottle brush). -- See pix for grip size, surface, lid, inside curve, and outer metal ring a carbiner-corded handle (not included) fastens over well (but takes some effort).

This is just a basic water bottle. It seals well and does not leak. The metal is a bit thinner than other brands. I wan flex it just by squeezing it with a moderate amount of strength. That makes me think it will dent easily. It is not anythign special when it comes to keeping the temperature of the liquid. IF all you want is a simple bottle that you are not worried if it gets damaged this is the one for you. Read more
Looks great, very easy to drink from, I drink more water daily from this than a straw type bottle. Keeps water cold and can be carried easily enough Read more
Built well, keeps water or other liquids cool or warm. Nice for travel or everyday use. Read more
This is a great metal bottle that holds just short of a quart of water. I have had mine for months and it has impressed me with its sturdy construction and convenient features. I have big hands and this bottle has a diameter that is large enough to hold nearly a quart, but not so big it’s uncomfortable for me to hold. It just barely fits in some automobile cup holders, though it’s too large for others. The screw-off spout cover stays attached to the cap but out of my way as I drink. The gray outer coating has held up despite extensive use and even abuse. I’ve dropped the bottle and seen minimal denting and scratching. I can’t imagine an outer coating holding up better. I have added a rubber band on the bottle where the carry loop hits it because it makes a clinking sound I don’t like without something to cushion it, but that’s the kind of personal adjustment I expect to make. But recently I’ve had an experience that I really find annoying. Recently I dropped the bottle and knocked the carry loop off. This struck me as no big deal at the time; I have several replacement caps that have fit several similar bottles I have had through the years. But when I tried these caps on this bottle they didn’t fit. There is a standard width and threading for water bottle caps, but this bottle doesn’t match. This is a pretty serious problem for me. I’m happy to spend the money for metal bottles with the understanding that the caps are plastic and are going to wear out well before the bottle itself. But for this bottle, when the cap is broken, the whole bottle is useless. This is the kind of thing that makes Amazon more money but alienates customers like me. Read more
