We use water bottles that have a puncture cap to make replacing bottles spill-proof. Does this cooler have the "spike" that punctures the caps?

Yes. This unit does come with that feature. So far this unit is working beautifully.

I believe that it does. I don't use a puncture cap bottle but there is something like a spike in the center where the bottle is placed. I wondered what that plastic spike with a sharp point was for.

Yes, it does. But I don't recommend this bottle. I like to drink from the glass part itself and not the silicon so I always twist the lid to drink, but then everything always leaks. One day, I left it the bottle my car it tipped over and everything spilled into my bag because there is really no way to secure the small silicon cap. I would suggest looking for other bottle designs.

I'm not sure if you are asking if the bottle has a spout or not but you can definitely refill other bottles using this. You might need a small funnel because this large bottle has a large opening once you remove the top. I simply poked small holes in the foil sealant over the bottle so that I could use it in this bottle without too much coming out of the bottle. Hope this answers your question :)

No. The Sodastream bottles are threaded and the Fizzini bottles have notches. I'm thinking the only other bottles that will work are the Primo soda station bottles sold on Amazon.

When I open the cap, there is a white funnel shaped insert on top of the bottle that narrows the opening of the bottle with a lip that prevents dripping. The insert however does not pop up.

Yes - I have a Primo water cooler with a probe (the unit has cold, room temperature and hot water taps). This cap works for my unit. I have found though that when I fill 5 gallon bottles, it sometimes begins to slide/pop off if I keep the gallon tipped over for too long. I like this cap very much though and would recommend it. I have 2 and 3 gallon bottles, and I also have one 5 gallon bottle.

yes it does. The thing you see sticking up on top of the jug is the handle and the flip spout combined. I don't know why they don't show a side view of the jug in the picture so one could see the handle. It is a great jug if you know the secret to keep it from leaking. First open the spout all the way pushing down on it. It will feel like the lid just slightly deforms. I don't know why but this makes it much easier, at least with mine, to screw the lid on. It must deform the lid to a better shape so it goes on easier. Next screw the lid on tight, and then when you drink, open the spout the same way. Voila, no leaks. It did leak before I figured this out. yes it does. The thing you see sticking up on top of the jug is the handle and the flip spout combined.

It has a ball bearing but it's tougher to drink out of than a normal water bottle. It doesn't drip though.

No. They are designed exactly like bottled water bottles with twist off caps and no spout.

No it does not. I did not need it. The cooler is light enough to tip while full if needed, but the ice last all day.

No they do not. I had wanted a bottle with a straw, but decided to go for these. I have their old ones with straws but over time the straw is getting harder and harder to work. This one is easy to use and doesn't leak if it tips over, the one with the straw did if you didn't have it closed. This one is very insulated and stays cold for long periods of time, especially if you use ice.

As far as I know all top fed water coolers. All that needs to be done is to remove the plastic insert that usually contains the spike to puncture the seal of the five gallon water jug. These inserts are removed very easily.

No. But it will still pump fluid out of the bottle. Just don't tip it over. :)

Not a spigot (as for dispensing drinks) but a drain at the bottom of one short side - for releasing excess water from ice-melt. It really is not a drink cooler unless those drinks are in cans or bottles :-)

Colleen - the top does both. It screws on, and also has a spout which is very easy to use and does not spill when open. I added two more pictures of the cap and spout in the customer images section to help you visualize. Thanks!

No, it has a regular screw top. I wish it did have one of those tops. It is a good quality bottle however.

The bottle that I have has a straw. It tucks neatly away when you twist the cap. Hope this helps.
