Does the black plastic loop cap leak like the others lids do?

Nope, I haven't encountered any trouble with leakage and I've been using these water bottles for years. I throw them in my bag all the time. The black caps have rubber rings on them that block any water from seeping out.

I have a stainless 18 oz model. I tried putting it in my backpack but found found that it leaked quite a bit. It must be kept upright.

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.

Absolutely. When you push the cap down after drinking, you hear a snap. Then it has a wire connector that slips over the opening also. Mine has not leaked a bit, and I have carried it in my backpack and in my huge travel purse with no problems. I love mine! I hope this helps. :)

The cap snaps closed secure not to drip when tilted. It remains attached when lifted up. No loose parts. The lid is like a little lever that lifts the lid up and can stay there on its own. Or snap shut. I like it more than cork bottles or those flipping lids. These do not drip and leak all over. I cook a lot and fell in love when I bought these. They were supposed to be a temporary fix and I ended up keeping the set and ordering more for gifts. My mother now uses it and loves it as well.

I have 3 of these. I found that tightening the cap too much will distort the unit and cause a leak. I found it works best to lightly tighten the cap. Be sure to wipe the edge of the housing where the cap seals to remove any tablet particles.

Unfortunately, on mine, with the lid on, mine does leak when it is tilted on its side. They need more of a silicon plug at the end of the cap

I shouldn't leak at all if you have the lid snapped on firmly and the little vent hole cover snapped into place. It's a rubbery lid that seals pretty tightly and takes some effort to sort of "peel" it back off the cup when you are ready to eat. I've never had any spillage in my fancy tote bag I haul lunch in.

These are the plastic lids that are sold specifically to cover canning jars but with a hole drilled into them with a gasket to make a straw fit tight. However, it is very hard to put a straw into that gasket so I just took the gasket out. Hence, mine would definitely leak if tipped over. Ball has recently come out with sippy lids that are affordable as opposed to the 'cuppow' lids that are made to insert into canning jar rings. Those would probably leak also if tipped over. At least if one is tipped over you can retrieve it quickly and hardly anything would leak out (hopefully).

The one I received was black and has grooves to fit the cup. The cap did have have any rubber, but my daughter uses it regularly and doesn't have any leaking or spillage from it. I hope that this helps. :)

I have never had leak problems in the least with these feeders - except when I go from the kitchen to the yard and I tip it. But when it hangs for the birds, no leakage at all. Are you making sure the two main pieces are tightly clasped together, and that there is no damage (e.g., cracks, etc.) in the plastic? And I strongly prefer these to the bottle feeders in terms of cleaning and maintenance.

Hello Mine was leaking also after a few years. This one has an "O" ring at the top. Since replacing my old one with this one I have not had any leaks at all.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.

The lid is screwed on, not snapped on. My wife and I use it for salad dressings in our lunch bags. It doesn't leak when tipped over in a lunch bag. (even vinaigrette or Italian dressings)

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.

Obviously, it is an issue based on others responses. However, I have purchased 2 of these same bottles and have not had any leakage problems. I did read a review once from an individual who suggested that making sure the back hinge of the cap is lined up with the measurement marks of the bottle, somehow, prevents it from leaking. I always place the cap on in that manner and believe that to be true--as strange as it sounds. See if that works.

Yes, I think the "stopper" type lid has a bit of plastic inside to help give it a tight seal.

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.
