Does the water pass through the plastic cap? or are you drinking straight from the glass?

You drink directly from the glass not through the plastic cap. You have to take the cap off to drink the beverage.

Just got mine and YES there is a soft little plastic attachment that guides the water down into the glass container.

There isn't a spout on the cap. The cap must be unscrewed and the wide-mouth opening revealed in order to take a drink. Your mouth only touches glass.

It pretty much acts like a travel mug. The lid screws on and you can cap the hole you drink thru/put straw in. If that is open, then yes, some of the liquid will get out if spilled. Overall, I have been very happy with this item.

I just looked and while most of the cap is plastic, the part that touches the water is steel, and then there is a gasket. So the only plastic that would touch water is a little bit of the gasket seal which insures water proof. This is a quality item of very good manufacture, I love it.

I only squeeze the bottle to drink from it. It definitely takes a little work to push the water through the filter, but works well. For getting the most water out as quickly as possible two hands is definitely the way to go.

The cap is plastic with a unique push button opening for pouring. However, my only complaint, as you finish pouring it almost always drips down the side and makes a mess.

The top (cap) is not a drinking cup. You can drink from the container, or pour the water into another container. I take mine to work and leave water in it most of the day.

You can drink as if you do out of a faucet. not designed to drink directly out of it, but you can.

It is a hard plastic hole in the lid. You tip the bottle to drink like you would a cup.

Yes. The coffee or water is sitting on the plastic shut off. When you open the valve the liquid passes to the cup. It does not affect the taste.

Yes, you can drink directly from the bottle. It's the simplest design, no tube or other things.

It has an opening in the lid to drink through. Be cautious however, I bought these because they were listed as 20 oz cups, but when I got them they were way bigger and I could never get the company to send me the right ones.

This is a double-walled tumbler, with the inner layer being glass, so most of the time the liquid will avoid plastics. The mouthpiece, however, is plastic with an outer metal ring; so your beverage will come in contact with plastic as you drink.

If you are thinking of just using the plastic for drinking without the glass, no, it won't function that way. It drips at the bottom, I tried it today. It has to have the glass inside the plastic shell.

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

I just used water, works fine as long as your kids don't mess with the cap. ;^)
