Otis Classic Clear Swing Top Glass Bottles, Plastic Caps, Set of 6, 16oz

I originally bought these to make and store my own limoncello, and they work great for that use. However, it was when I began using them to freeze milk that they truly impressed me. I don’t drink a lot of milk but like to have it fresh when I do. It’s difficult to keep a carton of milk on hand, because it goes bad faster than I can even come close to finishing it. I started freezing milk in these 16 oz. bottles for it to last longer, and I figured that if what’s in the fridge goes bad, it’s only a portion of the carton. This should not have been a concern! The seal on these is so excellent that I couldn’t tell you how long it takes for the milk to go bad. The bottle I have in there now has been in the fridge for almost three weeks and does not even remotely taste or smell sour. I mean it is as fresh as the day I bought it! To freeze the milk, I make sure not to fill them entirely (since liquids expand when they freeze), and I only place the tops on without locking them in place. Once they are frozen, I go back and lock the lids. When I am almost out of what’s in the fridge, I simply move a bottle from the freezer to the fridge and let it melt there. I find it takes about twelve hours to melt properly, so I move it when preparing dinner if I want it in my tea the next morning.

Worked as they should, perfect for kombucha they came with replacement rubber stoppers for when the original ones wear out and labels too really good deal on these 👍

Just the size I needed. Nicely packaged and all arrived with no damage!

The bottles arrived on time and intact. More impressive looking than expected. The bottles are attractive and have substantial weight showing quality glass. Would definitely recommend to others.

These are great bottles. I will definitely order lots more. Only problem was shipping. Though the bottles are bubble wrapped and boxed in sets of six, the box that they were in was handled so poorly that 3 of my 18 bottler were shattered, and one of my bags of cleaner was ruptured.

Update: The seller reached out to me with a sincere apology and promptly sent a replacement. This batch had no issues whatsoever, and I’m very pleased with both the product and the excellent customer service I received. These bottles have been perfect for my homemade coffee syrups. I’ll definitely be purchasing again and using them as gifts! Old Review: The bottles arrived intact however when I pulled them out they were all cloudy and sticky. The inside of the bottles had some condensation in them as well. Upon further investigation the bottles smelled like vinegar. I had to soak them in soap and water to get the film off. Really unhappy about it as the film got on my hands and I’m not entirely sure what it is…

My experience with this product and vendor has been an interesting one, this review is an update to a 1 star initial impression which I deleted. In short, I was accommodated greatly by the vendor, after receiving a two defective shipments back to back. As a result, I have been on the fence on giving a 5 versus 4 star rating, but considering the quality of the final product I received, and after putting it through fairly tough testing, I see no reason why 5 stars is unwarranted. If you care to see the details of my experience, read on- ---- My first shipment of 6 bottles arrived with 1 bottle broken. Upon inspection, the glass was cracked due to an imperfection (the packing was wonderful, and there was no visible damage to the outer package at all), one rather large bubble had begun breaking the glass and growing outward. I received an email from their customer service after placing the order indicating that they would have a hassle free solution for any defective products, and so I took a picture, and explained the situation. To my dissatisfaction, they responded by refunding the cost of a single bottle. [An aside: Personally, I don't feel this is an adequate solution, I would much rather replace the entire package, if I order 6 bottles, I expect to have 6 bottles, not 5 plus a refund. I realize this is my opinion, but even after the rest of these events, I still would have expected an exchange.] Admittedly, I misread the response from the customer service representative. I read their response as though they expected me to purchase -another- shipment with my refund, but they were explaining the refund reduced the cost of my first shipment. They have no way of shipping a single bottle, they can only be purchased in the full pack. I responded saying this solution was not acceptable, and the vendor refunded my entire first order. Still in need of that extra bottle, I placed a second order with my refund, in good faith from the support I had received. The second order arrived completely intact, not a single issue. I went about my routine, and bottled a batch of kombucha in 6 bottles. During second fermentation, I burped the bottles, and after resealing one, heard glass starting to crack. I emptied the bottle, and found that the glass started to break on the bottom, in another imperfection in the glass - another cluster of bubbles. The rest of the bottles went as expected, and went on without issue. Because of my experience, I wrote my initial 1 star review. I was contacted by Annie, who identified herself as one of the owners of Otis Classic, in response to my review. We exchanged messages through Amazon, and eventually had a call to chat about my experience. Annie helped to find the misunderstanding between myself and the customer service representative, and wanted to make sure I received an accurate representation of their product. [To reiterate, the 'misunderstanding' was my own - Frances from Otis Classic's Customer Support team was very helpful and clear, I misread a key part of their response. Still, even with my own misunderstanding, Frances still tried to help make things right.] Annie refunded my second purchase, and sent me a third order, at no cost to me. In return, I feel as though I owe a proper review of the product. Using exclusively this third shipment, I have just completed a batch of second fermentation of kombucha, untouched for around 80 hours. I experienced no cracks or breaking, no seals leaked, and have had no issues with the flip tops opening or closing. This third shipment is what I expected to receive from the start. At this point, I cannot personally be confident of the quality of my next shipment, however I can say that I will continue to purchase from this vendor, and that the quality of other reviews keeps me from being concerned that my next order will have any issues.

just as described. They are super cute. I make my own Vanila, and I give these out as gifts.

Good bottles, they did not have an air tight seal with the rubber rings that came installed on the bottles, but once I replaced the seals with the others ones the bottles came with they worked great.

These bottles are nice and strong. They look really good

Love the robustness and all the goodie's including small funnel and even a brush !

By far the best for Kombucha,Kefir brewing.Thank you Amazon for making these available again 🙏

I’ve been using these for a few years now and they’ve held up very well. I make kombucha and use these because they have a great seal and are easy to clean. Highly recommend.
