Got these yesterday, I screwed the cover on and shook to see about leakage, milk was stuck on the lid portion and started seeping out of top, is norm?

You might have filled it up too much or check the piece that goes under the cap to cover spout hole, sometimes people put it on backwards and it leaks.

yeah if you shake them up side down they will leak but my kids dont shake there cups upside down so i didnt see that as an issue for me. but any sippy cup will do that. there really is no such thing as a 100 percent free leak cup i wish there was.

Just bought it so not much experience, but it could be a result of the type of milk you use? I used 1% with no spills. Perhaps a thicker milk like 2% may thick up more (and spill over more) than others? Try experimenting and post back. good luck!

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

Late answer to your question. I've had the same experience as SRM!: once in awhile a lid will leak when I'm shaking liquid in the jar. A couple of others have suggested using a another brand of lid or putting a new Ball seal lid inside the plastic lid. However, both of these options are metal, so if you're concerned about metal possibly touching your almond milk, here's another option: put a Mason rubber gasket ring inside the lid (available here on amazon) when you really need to avoid leakage. Works like a charm.

Holy smokes,I did at all pay attention to any of that. I just checked. The lid just goes on there. It doesn't screw on or anything, but sort of just sits on there snuggley. So not airtight. I've had it filled up, and have not noticed any deterioration in the taste of the coffee over time. I also cover the whole thing with a dark cloth.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

No, Mine seals tight, I would return it. There is a small seal between the loop and the straw. I shake mine to mix my splenda and it doesn't leak at all.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe just make sure the plastic seal on covers are secure

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal.I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

This happened to me the first time using them. There are some who suggest opening and pouring some of the liquid off, but, at the same time, they say it shouldn't be exposed to air. Mine actually spilled over and out, had a little puddle around the jars. I decided to put paper towels under them each day and simply wiped off around the lid when I saw it come through, but I decided not to open the lid. My kraut came out just fine.

I just bought one of these, and the lid has about 1/2" of play up and down. This is ridiculous. Seems like there should be a 1/2" - 3/4" thick rubber gasket between the base and lid. Haven't tried it. As soon as I pulled it out the box by the hand and the bottom started wobbling I decided to look this up on google and if it was supposed to be like that. It is definitely being returned.

I would contact Klean Kanteen. This sounds like a warranty issue. Flat cap should not be leaking.

Yes, I was able to shake the container to remix my juice when I removed it from the fridge. To be safe I place my thumb on the cover as I shake, but it did not leak when I shook it fairly vigorously. The lid has a dial to tighten and loosen the seal, so turn it as far as you can to get the tightest seal, and it will not leak when you shake it. I would recommend washing the lid by hand to keep the seal from deteriorating in the dish washer.

These screw on but you do feel a click when the lid is secure. I have never had one of these leak and my child is rough on them. Just make sure that the valve is in tightly.

LOL, yes, this is a huge issue with these big bubba cups. You have to twist the lid to the left or right using the dip in the top lid for leverage. The twist will break the seal/lid suction, then you have to get your fingers in the tiny gap created between the cup and lid, then pry open. It is an awful process that takes lots of practice. I can't believe more people haven't had this issue. Needs to be redesigned desperately. Great seal, so no leaks, but practically impossible to open. Good luck.

Lol!!! Yours was probably dried out. I just slid my fingernail in the lid opening and pop it right up
