I don't understand what the part under the cap is for? You can't drink out of it, it has to be removed to use. I thought it was a strainer.

Truthfully, the part under the cap serves little practical purpose, but it does work to relieve the pressure that builds up when a hot drink is inside the bottle. On other bottles if you fill them to the top and then try to get the cover off after some time has passed you have to be a strongman to pull it off because the pressure has built up. That never happens with this bottle, and it is totally leak-proof. I suppose if one wanted to they could jam a tea bag in the space, or a packet of splenda or sugar, but mostly it is a great way to prevent that pressure build-up.

It is to keep the bottle sealed while you transport it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to move the bottle without spilling the hot/cold water inside. It is a 4-parts mechanism to give the bottle its possible uses. You use the bottle differently when it contains a cold beverage than when it contains, say, hot tea.

There is a little metal ball that moves whenever iyou squeeze contwiner. I never have put my finger over it since the little ball automatically covers the hole when squeezed. You can fill bottle up and sit it down and it doesn't leak cause the little ball blocks the hole. It is pretty neat. Shalom. {:0)

I would guess it is a safety issue. But why would you want to use it when the cap is on? I enjoy mine & haven't had a problem

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

It has a small slot on the top side of the lid, so I guess you could put a straw in there. It looks like it's more to sip out of.

Take it out of the package and drink through it like a straw. All your questions have been explained already in the comments section. I suggest you take a moment and read them.

There is a little slit in the silicone stopper. I have to squeeze it open before each time I put the cap on. There is a sweet spot between too tight and too loose when the lid screws on also. I think because air needs to flow between the silicone and the cap itself for the liquid to come through.

The white cap, which is attached to the lid, pops open allowing you to tip the bottle up to drink from it. You can squeeze the bottle but it is not necessary as the opening is the same size as a standard water bottle. Very good seal and the attached ring holder makes walking while holding the bottle very convenient.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

The spigot is part of the wine bag. You buy "wine in a box", open the box, remove the bag (with spigot attached), and put the bag into your Winecoat. If you want to hide the spigot, just do not pull it thru the hole until you are ready to use it. Personally, I would not take it to use in a restaurant, but I used mine at festivals, outdoor concerts, picnics, movies (teeheehee..easy in the dark...just fill your empy soda cup), and descrete places as such. Enjoy!!!

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!

yes, you have to remove the cap. Its an open crock. You just slowly pour the water until the bottle is on top of the crock. I never spill:) I love my crock!

The cut out is for use as a bottle opener. I have not used it to pry a cap off yet, but judging from the design and depth of the tooth it should be highly functional for that purpose.

the strainer will not hold any volume...it's a strainer!! if it could, it would be less than a cup, it's quite small!!

Matthew, there are actually a total of four parts. There is the tumber itself, holding 12 oz. of liquid. Then you have a choice of using the tea strainer, which would allow you to use loose tea and drink through the strainer leaving the leaves out of your mouth. There is also a "sipper" with the regular hole to drink through, which is the one I use for everything since I am mostly carrying coffee or cold drinks. Lastly, there is the cap, which works with either the tea strainer or the sipper. It is totally leak-proof either way, and does a great job of keeping drinks at temperature. It gives you the flexibility of throwing loose tea in using the strainer, or using the regular sipper cup, but either way the nice screw on cap insures no leaking.

I think there is a small screw that holds the cap in place. I'm not home so I can't check mine out. Sorry.

There's no way to hide or close the spigot. It's part of the bag that goes inside. I didn't like that it sticks out either. This wine bag is a great idea but needs a redesign!
