I have a Contingo bottle almost identical to this, and it leaks when it's on it's side. Anyone have issues with leaking?

I haven't had a leaking problem, but decided to experiment to answer your question. I filled it and put it on its side overnight - no leaking. However, when I vigorously shook it upside down, there was some dribbling. I've been very happy with this bottle so far.

No problems with leaking, this is a high quality water bottle. Very comparable to a Camelbak water bottle without the annoying bite valve to get a drink.

Sorry I can't say. I haven't used it because I use only full quart or litre bottles.however the ad says the straw gets pinched closed. Also they provide an extra straw as backup. Why not give it a try. And return it if it leaks?

I've been using my bottle almost 4 times a week. I've never had any leaks with it. Is there a seal under the cap. If so ot may be twisted and not setting.

No, I have never had a problem with it leaking. Try to keep it upright. Make sure the straw is down.

I bought the water bottles for my fiance and asked him if he's had any issues like this. He said he hasn't. You must have got a defective one with a hole or something b/c leaking isn't happening at all with ours. Good luck!

i lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

As with other posters, we've never had an issue with ours leaking and have been using it for many years. Sounds like a defect, or like it may have been cracked by dropping/dishwasher/etc.

There's a round plastic insert that goes over the top of the bottle (between the bottle part and the nipple) that keeps it from leaking. If you don't use the insert, it does leak.

Hi Kate - well it seems that only us purchasers will accept that this product has a problem with the leaking - krups it seems don't - I've emailed them. I am now about to send my THIRD Circolo back (purchased this time through Co-op online just to make sure it was not a 'faulty batch' that Amazon had in stock. Seems that it was not. Anyhows, going to chose another style now - don't want to because I love the modern style of the Circolo but it seems to me that until Krups acknowledge that there is a problem they won't actually sort it out!

I don't store the bottle if it has water inside -- if it has water in it, I let it sit upright, not on its side or upside down. I haven't had problems with leaking, the water flows freely when I turn it upside down, and comes out at a slower flow if it's on its side, but to my understanding it's working as expected. Pour the water out or as another answer says, keep the original bottle cap to keep the bottle sealed.

I have not had issues with straw leaks unless it's held upside down for an extended period of time. I have a hard time getting water out after a few sips, but my daughter will guzzle half the glass of water before coming up for air! I think it's because it's built for infant/toddler mouths, not adult mouths!

No. The bottles are tightly configured in rows. I purchased a vacuum stopper and reinsert the bottle on it's side with no leakage or problem.

I have only purchased the larger bottles. The ones with a single lid seam to work better for me. If the seal stays intact, I don't have any trouble with leakage. I have one bottle that has a pop top on it, which is very convenient for pouring quickly, but it also pops off sometimes. I have not used the ones that look like baby bottles. I would contact the company & see what they are willing to do for you. All my experiences have been positive so far with the products they produce. Good Luck. (I don't have any suggestions for different brands of bottles that might be better.)

Yes ! I just tried it. I even tipped the bottle compleatly over and it didn't fall out or leak. The bottle I had was only half full. Hope that helps

Haven't had any issues with leakage. I have one bottle which was accidentally dropped and minus the dent still works well and no leakage

Mine has started coming loose (note completely off) each time I use it, but no leaks...yet....

Yes, it does leak when the straw is out and the bottle is tilted. I had the munchkin ones that don't leak, they seem to have a stopper at the base of the straw that only opens when the baby starts drinking but the bottles are small about 7oz size I think. I like the OXO bottle though, because it is big and the material used is different compared to other bottles

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

Mine leaked as well and I discovered that if I tilt the feeding tube back a bit it helped. In other words raise the end up. Sometimes it helps to totally stop the leaking and other times to a small drip. At least its better.
