I am wondering if I can use my own stainless steel straw with it (in the pour spout) and not have it leak. (for a kid, but no plastic involved)

I wouldn't think so. The "spout" has an approx 3/4" diameter - so it would have to be a fairly think straw. I suppose it might be possible to add a rubber gasket of some kind to make it work, or even make you own smaller hole in the lid - but I'm not sure that would be worth the effort? Hope that helps.

Good question.. Yes, you can and that is a good idea. With the straw it actually makes a weird sound, but without it you don't have that. So it's actually better without the straw.

I have a 40 oz Hydro Flask with the lid/straw attachment and I have not experienced any problems with leaking while the attachment is in the closed position. If yours leaks, you may have a faulty attachment.

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.

Absolutely! I did buy stainless steel straws to go with it. The straws came with a little brush to clean the inside. You won't be disappointed. I love mine. Bought them for my family. So much garbage you can get sick from these days.

Yes definitely. I bought a stainless steel straw for coconut waters on Amazon for cheap. I recommend getting one of those as well. One thing is that even when the cup is sealed, you cannot turn it on its side or upside down without leakage. Plus is that it's a great size, and stainless steel instead of plastic inside. I bought a second one, I like it so much.

I haven't had a problem with a leaky straw. Whatever is left in the straw from the previous sip will come out, but that's been it for us. It is not that hard to get water out as long as you don't have it filled up all the way

You do not need to use the (inner plastic) straw. And... yes, you can just turn and pour without having to touch mouth (just tried). But, it comes out a bit slowly and you need to squeeze it (outer rubber mouthpiece) with your fingers if you aren't using teeth.

No it shouldn't leak. Try fighting up the lid when closing and try push the straw all the way cause that's what I had when I first had

Do NOT use the Stainless Steel Straws on HOT drinks. They conduct cold and heat very well. If the drink is just warm they should work well. I also bought a Straw Cleaning Brush for easy cleaning of the stainless steel straw. To avoid using the brush, I will immediately rinse the straw running hot soapy water down it then rinsing with, as hot of water as I can stand. If you let the straw sit allowing the smoothing ingredients to harden inside the straw then the brush is essential to proper cleaning. --------------------------------------------------------------- I am on Twitter.com/@PoetPatriot Tweeting of Faith, Poetry, Inspirational & other Quotes, Conservative Politics, and occasional other subjects.

It does leak with the straw out. This is the one cup I can't give my kid for bedtime as it will make a mess if it's tilted.

I bought this as a gift, so I do not own one myself. However, I have a similar sized bottle and use the long straws from Starbucks.

I do not know. My child used only for water. Perhaps a better model Safe sippy 2 cup with a straw?

Depend on the thermos itself. Does your current straw have a an inch between the bottom of the straw and the round flat plastic that sets on the bottom of the cap? Then no.

no... there's a small hole for air to get in while you drink from a (pretty generous) slit near the edge. The flow of liquid is pretty good so that shouldn't be a problem. You may be able to fit a straw in it, but not a big one.The thing I hated was - the lids didn't seal properly so it was always like drinking from a dribble glass. The ALL did it too, so it wasn't just one bad lid. I ended up returning them...

My son is 15 months old and he is able to drink through this straw easily. I have never tried. I actually think this cup leaks more through the straw than most cups and it's not our favorite. Maybe you recieved a defective straw?

If you are trying to avoid 100% contact with plastic, then this kettle is not the answer for you. Yes, steam will collect on the inside of the lid and drip down into the SS kettle, and water will be poured out across the plastic framed strainer at the spout. While I am in the process of minimizing my own use of plastics, I have been using this fine little kettle several times a day for the past year for my frequent tea consumption, and will continue to until it stops working.
