I'm looking for a bottle to put kefir (like a yogurt drink, but thicker) in for my kids' lunches. Will the spout work or the coffee lid? Thanks!

If it is thicker than water, you will need to take out the strainer that comes with the bottle. If the drink is like a smoothie and you can get it into the bottle, then it should be fine so long as the it isn't too thick. Worst scenario, just use a straw like you would with a smoothie!

Though this bottle looks great & feels solid, I would not purchase it again, nor would I recommend it. The spout leaks...given I brought mine several years ago and I still have it. I never use it, just can't part with it because I spent $20 on it....LOL So unless you can find out if the makers resolved the leaking from the spout, I would look for something else. Maybe, something of the "camelbak" variations. I've have a basic style water bottle (non-insulated) for years now, best water bottle I ever owned for approx $20 and easy to clean. They do have insulated variations. As for the "kefir" drink. I'm go on a limb and say this should be okay, but don't quote me on this fact..

Do not know that brand but a reusable flip-top type I have will not work--too small--tho it worked in regular Keurigs. What does work is the plastic "My-KCup" lids, silver-dollar size, which fit on prefilled cups when empty. Then cups can be used 4-6 times. The lids last forever, it seems.

I'm wondering if this can be used to make kefir also. So my question is, how big are the holes in the lid? I think they need to be about 1/8-in to work for straining the kefir.

I only got the two cup version of this and the lid doesn't fit perfectly but is still usable as intended because with a bit of pressure the lid is very secure and performs fine. Not a perfect fit but I would rather have it a bit too big as it is instead of too small! It is more secure this way. So hope this may help

PS it should come with a metal body, which holds hot or cold. A top you drink from which has a button you operate to open or close. Then there is a flat screw on lid. I never use that. If the button is closed, it is enough. They have a website. Contact them direct. BTW, last time I got a larger container which holds a lot of coffee. Since it stays hot so long, I can drag it around all morning.

The gasket/lid would not leak. The small 'snap in place' cover over the drinking 'hole' could leak. It could possibly pop open and leak a lot. I have two of these and love them- freeze and use them every day. If you plan on holding it upside down over your laptop you might want to consider another.

Honestly I do not put anything without a lid in the cup holders. The kids knock into it. Sodas, starbucks etc really don't fit well in the cupholders.

Sadly, I'd probably say no because of the top. I feel that, to prevent anything spilling or escaping, I must screw the top on pretty tight. The bottle is a bit heavy, but not unreasonably so. My 3 year old daughter can drink from it fine, she just can't get the top off (which I totally prefer).

I stop using the lid, and it no longer leaks out the top. The round lid does not work on the Aerocinno with a spout - if the milk touches the lid, it will leak out through the spout gap. Without the lid, I find that I can even overfill both when making lattes (stirrer) and cappuccinos (frother) - Venti-equivalent. I would think that Aericcino 3 (no spout) would work better in this respect.

My husband put a travel mug in it and didn't close the lid and it made a mess. He did the same with a can of soda. It works best with bottles, IMO.

Yes-- it works very well. Some fat will go into the spout which you'll want to pour off, the rest will float to the top in the container. What works best is to chill it and spoon out the fat but if you want to eat immediately, pour out the soup and keep the fat in the gravy separator.

I dont know other lids since my yogurt maker's jars came with the same lid as well. I have never put them in my kids' lunch box beacuse of the glass and safety issue but I think it would work. Good luck!

Yes, the regular metal cover fits it perfectly. I use the metal lid when I have to store stuff for a while. I use the plastic one only when I want to sip slowly or when I'm in motion. In fac, I bought both kinds of covers when I purchased my jars and I alternate them as needed.

The top has a rubber seal and should work to keep in liquids if put in properly. The bottom seals tightly and should hold more thick soups but I wouldn't try swinging it around or anything

I've used about 50 of these lids so far.. I have noticed that on some pods these refillable lids fit pretty darn tight. BUT you can get them to fit. On other k-cup pods they fit perfectly, so obviously all of the K-cup pods are not created equal. I haven't had any problem with these leaking or letting the grounds through.. I am happy with lids, of all the refillable lids and caps(and I've tried a few of them) these work the best.

I've never had this problem with mine. In fact, I don't even use the lid anymore. I just put milk in until the stirrer is barely covered, and the the milk doesn't slosh over the edge. Is the lid's rubber gasket seated correctly? Be sure not to fill it above the "Max" line?

This is not an answer. I have the same question. The newer tops have a lock so that the sip button can not get accidentally pushed. I have the old and new lid designs. They are both great, but I would like more with the lock in order to put them in kid's backpacks.
