Ello Kella Glass Tumbler with Straw

I was pretty surprised at the quality of this. I had bought a different bottle, also Ello, and it had a crack in the bottom. Thankfully, I bought this at the exact same time, so there wasn't any worrying over this purchase. It either would or wouldn't be a quality control reject. And I'm grateful that it wasn't! I'm definitely careful with this, as it only stays on my desk at work, but there are no faults in the construction. Everything fits together well, and it's easy to hold around the top silicone cover. Obviously it doesn't insulate or anything, and since it doesn't fully seal at the top, it's not ideal for taking out to the beach or on a hike. But if you're driving somewhere, or at work, or even at home, this is perfect. Now, for my old car, this is just a little too fat to fit into the cup holder, so I think you need the wide cup holders for it to fit properly, but since I can kind of still balance it where it needs to be and it doesn't fall over, I don't consider that too much of a drawback. Especially since I only really wanted it at work, and it comes home with me on the weekends for a deep clean. It does need a cleaning almost every day, even with just water, since there can be water spots and marks from your hands, but just a quick wipe down works fine. I usually ramp up the soap usage at home and use a non abrasive sponge to help make sure there's no bacteria growing. Altogether, as long as this holds up for however long I'm employed at this office, I'm pretty darn happy with this choice!

I absolutely love this travel glass! I like sipping on my iced tea or coffee with a straw, but I really can't stand any of the typical to-go cups with straws since they either look really cheap, tacky, or both. A lot of them just have too much going on, or are too colorful, and the clear white ones usually just look (and sound, if you've ever closed the lid on one of 'em) poorly made. The ello kella is one the best purchases I've ever made, and here's why:PROS-it's only ~$10, v financially friendly-the straw is opaque/isn't a gross plastic-y texture/BPA free-minimal design-the look of the glass just makes the drink more enjoyable because it looks so clean/crisp-easy to cleanThe bottle, as much as I wish it could be, sin't fully perfect but the cons are not only dealable with but also outweighed by the prosCONS:-the lid isn't the most secure (I've found that you really have to make sure the lid and the lip of the bottle are completely dry for maximum grip but even then, condensation can get the best of you). So, no you can't hold/carry it by the lid BUT this isn't really an issue since the grip is underneath and around it, meaning the lid just needs to be secure enough where if it were to tip over on your desk, it wouldn't pop out--which it is.-a little weary of how the cork will look/be after longterm use-doesn't do anything for temperature retention and it does fall victim to condensation but considering this isn't part of the product's description, I can't really complain. In order to avoid condensation it would have to be double-walled which might probably not be possible for glass especially in maintaining this same, simple look.Above all, what really makes me forget about/deal with the cons, is the price. Seen tackier, lower quality products at Walgreens for more expensive. At first I was hesitant about the glass aspect, as I am a student and I tow this along all the time so it's definitely prone to falling. I haven't had any accidents yet so I will update with any news if that should ever happen, but even if this were to shatter to bits, it's so affordable I wouldn't mind buying a replacement.

I love this cup! I have another glass cup from the same manufacturer, but this one is far superior. The lid constantly slips off of the other cup I have, but whatever caused that problem has been resolved with this one as the lid stays on tight and doesn't slip. I might be making things up in my head, but water (and tea and everything else) seems to taste so much better out of glass. Plus, I don't have to worry about any stains from coffee or tea beverages.This is made of a nice, sturdy glass material that holds up well, even with my clumsiness. I have dropped an empty cup several times on the hard wood floors in my office, and still not cracks or breaks. The wider mouth makes it very easy to clean. Be sure when cleaning the lid to use a brush to get into the flaps and folds to prevent any mold growth.My only complaint would be that the color isn't an exact match for the photo in the listing. I was expecting more of a lighter teal green color and instead it is more of a teal/emerald hybrid. It still looks great, though! Highly recommended, and I will most likely be back for another one in another color. I think the gray color might be calling my name.

Quality: Good. Thick glass, thick textured rubber band around jar mouth, thick plastic lid & straw. Top of straw rough - not enough to hurt, just has 2 dangling plastic edges from production, so quality control could be better. Top fits snugly, but is easy to insert/remove. Hole in top for straw a little too big...would've preferred it more snug for a more airtight seal.Asthetic: Attractive more contemporary alternative to ball jars, cork insert on the top of the top is a nice touch.Straw: 9", thick plastic. I'll be buying a glass straw separately, as I bought this to not have what I drink taste like plastic - thought the glass jar would be enough.Overall: An eco-friendly and healthier option than plastic or disposable cups. More modern and sleek than a re-purposed Ball jar.Purchased for: Use at the office (doesn't fit in my car's cupholder though - Chevy cavalier 2000) or in the car as a travel cup.

Está super bueno este vaso. Los materiales son de excelente calidad y nos sirve mucho para tener agua en la cabecera de la cama, sin temor a derramarla encima de la cama o encima de nosotros, gracias a su cómodo popote.

fue un regalo, le encanto.Es de vidrio y la tapita es como de corcho con platico, el grip es de silicon.hasta el momento no se ha hecho feo.

I love this water glass! It's made me drink a lot more water lately, just because it's so cute and easy to carry around. It fits in my car's cup holder perfectly. The lid does not have a strong hold, but since there's a hole in the lid for a straw, I'm not planning on throwing this in a bag anyways so I'm not concerned about that. I love that I can throw the body in the dishwasher - I haven't tried the straw in there yet but it seems pretty durable. The lid I will only hand wash because of the cork detail - a minor nuisance but it makes the cup so cute I don't mind! I have used this for grabbing cold beverages at Starbucks to save on single-use plastic cups and it is fabulous for this. Iced drinks will lead to condensation on the outside of the glass, but this is to be expected with any material that is not double-walled.For the price, you can't go wrong here!

Really nice product, came as pictured. The top part that acts as a cover is not a vacuum seal when popped in place though, so beware of possible spilling - it's not something you can toss in your bag and go. But if you're like me and make iced coffees at home and bring them in the cup holders of your car to work, then this should work for you.

Was a bit too heavy for me but made well, took ages to come but then didn’t realise it was not coming from UK
