Just got this bottle, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the darn thing open to drink out of it. Am I missing something here?

They're right. I find pushing the button on the side of the lid, then flip down the metal clip like device, flip up the top and you are ready to go. Now the thing on the bottom is a pain and fairly useless but I guess they had to go that extra step. I like it a lot, Don't get me wrong. The sleek design makes it less conspicuous and fits in cup holders pretty good. Let us know how it turns out. Peace...

Make sure you have lowered the silver metal locking mechanism - that will prevent the lid from opening and keep it securely locked in place when you throw the bottle in your back or car seat or whatever.

Make sure the metal clasp is not hooked on, and then push the gray button- it'll pop right open!

Did you drop it or anything of the sort? It is a wide mouth open bottle top so there should be no issues drinking out of the top.

You're supposed to drink from the mug, it's a travel mug. Just very hard to get it open to drink from.

It is a bit hard to open, so give it a good pull. Hope that helped and you get it open.

I use hot water. fill the bottle up, let it sit for a moment, screw the top on and shake. Should come out easily.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

That can be a little tricky, especially after some mineral build-up. You have to press down pretty firmly on the cap while turning it open - like a child-proof cap. I still love my steamer, once you get yours open, I hope you can say the same. Good luck!

If you want to hold it in left hand, make sure the spout opening is facing right. Then turn to tighten the spout should be in the correct position to drink from. Reverse for right hand holding. Hope this helps

There is a white piece that can be popped out of the piece that screws on the top. But you have to unscrew the top, turn it upside down to pop it out and then basically you have to leave it out. I just leave it in take as unscrew the whole top off to drink out of it

Make sure you've got the bottle all the way in. When you hold down the button on the handle it should work. If it's just clicking, the bottle probably isn't all the way in place.

Put some water in the bottom. I don't remem the exact amount but just so it doesn't dry out as you microwave it. It will fit up to four bottles. The bottle part goes upside down at an angle thru the one slot, all facing the same direction. The round 'hole' part is for the bottle caps. The long blue tube things usually go around the outside. There is probably a place for everything but I just fit the rest of the bottle parts in where I could. It's been two years since I used mine so my memory is a little fuzzy. Check you-tube, someone has probably made a video on how to best put it together. Good luck. Put some water in the bottom.

Same here, but we got them close..now HOW DO YOU OPEN IT? I'm afraid that when I bottle the Kombucha I wont be able to open them again.

I just prop mine up on my desk at an angle and take a table knife and slip the side of the blade under the lip of the plastic roller that needs to pop out of the rim of the top of the bottle and pry up just alittle and the roller will pop right out of the top. After refilling the bottle just set the roller on top of bottle and push in and ready to go.

The cap just clicks open on its little hinge, very simply. Put your thumb under the little ridge that sticks out on bottom of colored cap. We have a green and a red drinking bottle, no problems. If you can't do this, maybe you have a defective cap.

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.
