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..

these are the same size as the K-cups, in the video clip it looks like she is rather forceful when she puts the lid down on the cusinart, I would try it a few different times, it should work

It's not the blender lid, it flips open and has a little hole to drink from. It hasn't ever leaked but then again I've never been very rough with it. It closes by pressing the lid down, so it's not hard to work.

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.

I would call it "leak resistant", not "leak proof". Simple tipping is fine, but if there is any pressure on the spout when the bottle falls over, then some liquid will escape. The spout is easy enough to operate that my 10-month-old doesn't have a problem getting water out. If anything, it can come out a little fast for him, but he doesn't seem to mind. If you get the additional travel dome top, it will even do well hanging out in the diaper bag. I wouldn't put it in the bag without the travel lid though!

The threads dont' leak. When the lid is closed, it is fairly secure. HOWEVER - when you take a drink of coffee from the lid, the coffee doesn't flow back into the bottle, it collects around the flip part and gets forced out when you close the flip. Then it ends up all over the bottle and your hands. I hate it.

Hi Derick,Unfortunately this tumbler does not have a stopper for the drinking spout. In addition, the lid does not lock onto the the body of the glass. I have used my glass since last year and have had great success with it as my everyday coffee and tea mug. I hope this helps.Joe

I believe you could drink a smoothie through the spout. And if it clogs up at all you always have the option of taking the lid completely off to get to the last drop!

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.

The Cap Screws Off And You Drink From The Top, No spout. Easy For The kids and Easy To Clean. They Don't Leak.

Yes. I prefer to use this spout with the glass bottle because I warm whole milk in the microwave...even if its bpa free, I still like to use the glass. (oddly cheaper to just buy the whole cup than just spouts) The collars and venting valve are the same. The trainer cover is different but you can still use the bottle covers.

I think it will work just fine for coffee. I use mine for my every day water bottle. I've tried many, and something always goes wrong with the cap, but these have held up great, even through the dishwasher, which is as hot as coffee

I use this as an excellent vessel for continuous brew kombucha and cover the top with a gauze cloth. For water kefir you want air tight for second ferment but I feel like this would be big for Water Kefir. I do a quart at the time and you want to do the second ferment in a bottle that it nearly fills. The less air in the bottle for second ferment the more bubbles you will get as well. I recommend you join the group on facebook "Kefir grains, scoby and others to share", they are an excellent resource. Yes you use a tight weave cloth for first ferment and air tight for second ferment if you do a second. I do a second if I add flavor like juice or fruit. Also on Pinterest there are fermentation boards with a wealth of information. Amazon has several great products for fermentation.

This fits inside an original Keurig refillable k-cup. There is not lid because it sets inside and there us a lid that twists on. I had bought the type with the lid and returned it because the lid kept popping off.

Hello Tim: the flip-top lids are hard plastic. I've bought the squat bottles and the tall bottles and they all have hard plastic with a soft plastic gasket. I've enjoyed using these bottles to brew Kombucha.

Spout is big but it collapses as it doesn't vent quick enough. If he lets go to let spout reexpand then it's fine. Mine wouldn't , she would quit when milk doesn't flow quick enough

Have to say with mine it's both. I don't believe the blue seal on the cap is sufficient and it appears that the spout doesnt open enough to complete the seal/it's misproperly placed. I may have just gotten a lemon.
