is it difficult to drink from this bottle?

No! I like it put at times the straw is awkward. Very hard plastic and hard to pull up to use.
1092422
Well, from my point of view its a little more difficult than drinking from a straw but not uncomfortably so. My 8 year old child has no problems with it.
1092423
Not at all! Drink it the way you would drink a glass with a straw. Do not raise the bottle up...keep the bottom of bottle down.

It was difficult to start out. Things kind of 'limbered up" after a bit. I'd say within two days, things were much easier.

no -- not at all. I have been drinking far more water since I bought my Brita Water Bottle. I have also found that there is no funny taste added to any water that I have used in my bottle. I love it!

It is easier to drink from this bottle as opposed to the other (soft-sided) one that Brita has. It works like a straw. I really like this bottle so far. Very few leaks and easy to use.

I find if you squeeze on the straw as you drink it comes out faster,but not as fast as with a regular straw.But the markings on the side make you aware of how much water you are getting in during the day.

The directions on the bottle/ label state "Squeeze the sides of the water bottle and pull up." You do have to squeeze hard.

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.

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!

No, it's quite hard. Mine only leaked from screwing on the top too tight and cracking the plastic.

Nope. You just kind of drink through the mesh strainer. It's not uncomfortable. I really can't recommend purchasing this thing, mine is basically useless at this point due to gasket issues and leaks. A hydroflask/klean kanteen with a sippy top and a tea infuser is going to keep your tea hot and stand the test of use.

No. You drink from the round top which is too small to allow ice cubes to get out. I absolutely love this bottle. I take it with me everywhere.

It's hard, but very easy to drink out of. I introduce it to my kids at 6 months and they use it unto they transition to a cup. I have 3 kids.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

If you compare it with drinking from a straw, yes, it's harder, But! for a toddler it's part of the training. Also I'd rather wash this kind of bottles than washing the gummy straws and attachment.

Not with the mouthpiece itself, but the straw that goes inside the bottle does sometime give me issues. When drinking water there is occasionally too much air getting into the connection between the straw and cap, which makes it annoying to drink from because you have to try very hard to suck water out. Think of drinking from a cup using a straw, but having a hole in your straw. It's like that. To alleviate this I take off the cap and pull out the straw then re-seat it in to the plastic connector on the underside of the cap.

i think it is a hard problem. glass is easy to shatter, if you dare it, youd like to have a pp bottle

It is difficult to drink form this with one hand as I often do while driving. Your wrist is bent at 90-degrees while trying to tip it toward your mouth with all the weight working against you. Two hands... no problem. By the way, this product leaked all over me for the first half-dozen times I used it. Now, it doesn't.. to my wonderment. I personally would not buy this again.

I find it very difficult too, but have found that by putting the container in the sink, so it is lower than when on the counter, it is easier to get the lid on and off. I also use both thumbs to push it down. Other than that, it is difficult, but there sure are never any leaks!

Definitely no spill, but a little difficult for my daughter to drink out of at a year. You have to suck really hard and she wasn't interested.

I have occasionally noticed a little "sweating", but never an issue with handling the bottle. Might be different in a more humid climate.

Not at all. I've had this mug for about 4 months now, and it's been nothing but absolutely great. If you put hot stuff in there, you can expect it to stay hot, without affecting the temperature of the outside of the bottle. In fact, you can just consider the outside of the bottle to be almost completely isolated from the inside, as the isolation is done extremely well.
