Is there a way to take out the filter piece and still drink out of the straw? Like if you wanted to drink tea and it not be filtered

Yes you can. I personally have an Camelbak Eddie (that I bought from LL Bean, it was my first Camelbak) that I use for my tea and I keep my filtered ones for water. But I just tested it with water and yes it works.

The filter is replaceable. Therefore, it can be taken out, and the bottle still be used and drink from the straw. Hope this helps you out.

Yes - the filter inserts into a plastic straw, and you can simply take the filter out and insert the straw back in and you'll be able to drink with no filter without a problem. This works great when you're already drinking filtered water!

You can unscrew the two part lid, but you can't separate the two parts -- nor do you need to. The lid with the top part of the straw fits nicely in dishwasher, or can be washed easily by hand.

They aren't the kind you can cut through with scissors. They could probably be cut with some sort of saw, but you'd have to cut the "long" end rather than the short side with the ridge that keeps the straw from coming out of the cup. Then you'd have a slightly rough edge from the cut unless you could smoothe it out.

Don't know for sure about the straw, but I often use disposable straws anyway (just remember to get the extra long ones or they don't work). The hard straws are a lot harder to keep clean - even soaking them doesn't always clean the inside surface enough to suit me. Have used pipe cleaners more than once to remove stubborn stuff.

Yes, you can take the straw holder off. However, when you do so, the little knob on top will not have anything to hold it on. Perhaps a little super glue would help. Then, you could have the piece removed but still have your knob to pick up the lid.

Yes there is a place for a straw. I just just us the sipping hole when I have the lid on it.

I did sometimes, but I realized it was user error. If the mouthpiece is not fully opened and the straw isn't all the way on, you can't get anything out of it. Hope it helps!!! That seemed to help for me :)

Yes, you could remove the straw and tilt it to drink. I believe it is BPA safe though if you are worried about the plastic.

The straw is part of the filter system. If you remove the filter/straw you can still drink from the bottle if you tip it.

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...

Yes, a standard plastic straw will fit through the drinking slot. It's not a hole specifically for this purpose, but it will definitely work.

You can remove the bite valve, and its tough to get inside of it to clean. I use a q-tip. You cannot just use the straw.

I can' t imagine any straw going in here. Its solid plastic and they cut a diamond shape into it to sip from. I can't get a straw in.

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.

The past answers below recommend tucking in the long part of the filter, which is correct, but what type flavor is your concern? If the tea is very fine, then twist the filter above the tea line and do not submerge above the tea line.

I dont think that is possible. The straw is removable from the mouth piece. Have you tried the zoli cups? My boys started on those when they were 7months old.

No. There is a hole on one side for the straw and a "sipper" slit on the other side that you can drink from.
