Ello Pure Glass Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve

Product Information

The less amount of parts included the faster the cleaning experience. Keep this in mind with glass water bottles or tumblers that include a straw because they often have more parts and need additional tools for cleaning. While the glass tumblers we tested were easy to use because they had wider mouths, the glass water bottles we tested needed bottle brushes to reach all the smaller crevices. Straws also need straw brushes too. We removed the silicone or rubber sleeves for some bottles to prevent any dirt between the sleeve and the glass surface. Other features After testing different glass bottles, we noticed how much smaller the Bkr bottle spout was compared to other models. This can be a deal breaker for some people who want a more effortless experience drinking an ample amount of water–it’s much harder to take bigger sips. It will also take a thinner and bendable bottle brush to clean because of the small spout. Since this is a screw top, you need both hands to open the lid.

You can also fill the infuser basket with tea or coffee, or just use it as a regular water bottle. The entire bottle is dishwasher-safe, and you don’t have to take the bottle out of the sleeve when you clean it. But some users have found that the lid tends to leak, so make sure you tighten the cap all the way and be cautious when tossing it into your bag. When it comes to getting enough ounces every day, finding a water bottle that's easy and fun to use can make all the difference. "I recommend drinking half of your body weight in ounces each day, so calculate how many times you'll need to fill up your favorite bottle," Savage says. Bonus points for a glass water bottle, as it's good for you and the environment—plus, most glass bottles can be filled with either hot or cold beverages.

Since glass can be heavy, it’s essential to think about what size of glass water bottle you want to carry around all day. Many of the bottles and tumblers we tested ranged from 16 to 25 ounces because this was the average size and wasn’t too heavy. However, some brands sold water bottles with capacities between 8 to 32 ounces. CleaningTo find the best glass water bottles, we researched dozens of glass water bottles from top brands and evaluated them based on size, price, leakproof features, and more. We also asked Savage for her expert opinion on what to look for in glass water bottles and how they can help you stay hydrated. Plus, we had a certified personal trainer from our Review Board to review this story for accuracy and the best way to shop for a glass water bottle that suits your exercise and hydration needs. Looking for the perfect bottle for toting to and from games? Zulu's Atlas glass water bottle can help you stay hydrated while you’re on the move. This BPA-free bottle resists odors, stains, and flavors, so your water tastes pure, clean, and cold. The benefits of drinking enough water go way beyond keeping you hydrated. "Ensuring that you are properly hydrated can improve your digestion, reduce appetite, and boost energy," says Eliza Savage, MS, RD, CDN, a registered dietitian. We cleaned the bottles multiple times by hand and ran them through the dishwasher, noting what additional tools they needed to clean, like bottle or straw brushes. We also observed how many items needed cleaning. Leak/seal tests There are many different glass water bottles in the market and one of the most important features to consider is design. For example, you can buy glass bottles for water or hot drinks like tea or coffee. These differences change the design of the water bottle or tumbler.

When shopping for a glass water bottle, make sure it has a leakproof cap and a protective sleeve to prevent breakage. You may also want one that's dishwasher-safe, for easy cleaning.

We also spoke with Eliza Savage, MS, RD, CDN,a registered dietitian, for her expert opinion on how a high-quality glass water bottle can help you stay hydrated. We used her guidance, along with our own findings, to assemble our final list of recommendations. The Bkr glass bottles were one of the first experiences we had with using glass bottles years ago. They offer a modern and sleek design compared to other models of glass bottles that look more rigid and sports-like. Each Bkr bottle consists of three pieces, a glass bottle, a full silicone sleeve that covers the entire glass body, and a plastic screw-top lid with a stationary handle. They can come with straws or mouths that feature sippers for easy drinking. Sippers allow you to gulp more water, while straws are suitable for people who don’t like to lift their entire bottle each time they drink water. If you want a bottle that’s easy to use during the day for exercising or driving, we recommend a lid that opens with one touch. If you’re going to use the glass bottle for drinks other than water, like iced coffee, we recommend something with a straw attachment.
