Boroux Original Glass Water Bottle 500ml, Handmade from Eco Friendly, BPA Free, Pure Borosilicate Glass

Looks and feels like a quality bottle. No visible flaws that I can see. I love the feel and taste of glass when it comes to refreshing beverages and this fits my needs to a tee. Since it is glass, you do have to baby it. It's definitely not the kind you just throw in a bag, but its good for everyday use as long as you take care of it. The only con i've found is that i wish the cap had more grip to unscrew it off the bottle. Normally, this is a non-issue, but if it gets wet and slippery, it can be a little difficult to get off. The mouth is nice and wide which means it's super easy to pour into and plenty fast to drink out of. I also like that it doesn't take much to twist off the cap. Only about 1/4" of turn will loosen the seal and less than a full rotation to twist it all the way off which makes for convenient on and off drinking.For me one of the biggest pluses is that it fits neatly inside of a typical can cooler (I use a Thermos vacuum insulated can cooler). Even though the bottle is almost twice as tall as the can cooler itself, even at 50% coverage, it is effective enough to keep liquids cool for 2-3 hours which is great. The packaging is unexpectedly nice as well.

Got one of these for my wife so she can have a bottle of water on her nightstand, (we put Brita filtered water in it).This baby is awesome, she says the glass keeps the water tasting fresh and it is just the right size for her, not too small and not too big.The packaging it came in was exceptional, they really put a lot of thought and creativity into it! We were both very impressed with it. The quality of the product itself is much higher than I expected. It is really made very well, the lid screws in with a nice snugness that just feels secure and it is.I really can't say enough great things about this water bottle and I don't usually get excited about things like this, so it is pretty nice.

Loved everything about the bottles. Easy to clean, no aftertaste, sturdy. I use them in the fridge for filtered drinking water. These didn't get 5 stars, I would have liked to give that but I've had a problem with the bottle lip. I got half a dozen and have lost two to chipping on the lip. I'm very careful with the bottle and always dry them laying flat on a drying mat, never upside down. I lost another one because I dropped it on a ceramic floor and was grateful that it got a big crack but did not shatter and make a mess. I have replaced the bottles and would do it again. The chipping is a monetary inconvenience but well worth the money for the health benefits.

This is a company that listens to its customers. While I previously purchased 18 of the “legacy” bottles back in the day and had very little trouble with them (other than some lids becoming de-threaded), clearly other customers have had a number of issues. The folks at Boroux listened! I just received a set of the “new and improved” bottles, and I have to say, I’m extremely impressed! The glass is heavier, the bottom is thicker and the lid is 100% better. I loved the look, feel and total impression of value so much — that I ordered 12 more bottles. (I do “Reboots” and like to make a ton of juice ahead, enough to keep me full of “liquid sunshine” for the better part of a week. Hence the need for great bottles that are safe, feel good in my hands and easy to clean.)

Got these for milkshakes and protein shakes and they are GREAT! We fill them up and take one from the fridge during the week. HOWEVER, the price deters me from buying replacements as glass inevitably breaks. We have a dozen and 4 broke accidentally. In pondering the replacement which is also likely to break, I thought I should break this cycle with a substitute. And I defaulted to the mason jars - 32 ounce jars with plastic lids allows for the protein shake and then some fall seeds on top tried and tested, less breakable and replaced without much wallet pain. The Boroux looks more elegant of course but needs to be replaceable at a better price than $13 a pop. For everyday use, one needs something hardy and less dear. My $13 x 4 worth opinion :)).

I have had this bottle for less than a month and last night after I took it out of the freezer, I poured in room temperature water from my filter and it completely cracked the entire bottle. I took pictures of it (the picture shows the bottle with cracks throughout bottle with ice inside from water that frozen by being inside bottle). I left the bottle alone for about 15-20 minutes cause I didn't want to do deal with it and when I came back out, pieces had fallen off the bottle cause the ice inside had started to melt.Borosilicate glass is supposed to allow for up to 170 degree Celsius temperature change. No way my freezer at medium-low setting caused the bottle to go -150 to -160 degrees Celsius (room temperature being 15 degrees Celsius).I liked the bottle cause it was sleek and cool looking but the cap is two parts and sometimes after being in the freezer for a bit, the suction part would detach from the metal so I'd have to reattach it. Far from a deal breaker but not being able to withstand a 15 to 20 degree celsius temperature shock (or at least not being able to last for a full month) is definitely a deal breaker. Unfortunately I had bought a second bottle for my sister right before this happened cause I thought the bottle would last.

Bought this two years ago primarily for my iced coffee, juices and smoothies, I find that they taste better and are more fresh than when I use plastic or steel bottles. In terms of cleaning, they're easy to clean because of the wide opening and the cap does get dirty at times, but I can easily remove the rubber band inside and hand wash everything.I use it almost daily since I got it, carry it to work and class, it fits well in all of my purses and backpack and is easy to hold, not heavy. Just be careful not to drop it on the concrete ground... it will crack and break, because its glass.
