The only thing that bugs me…
It’s a great desk cup!- Sturdy to hold and pick-up.- Quiet and stable to set down.- It’s not like a plastic tumbler in any way.- The glass is crystalline-like and easy to clean.- The silicon sleeve feels nice and secure; as if it likes little hand-hugs while washing, or using.- It’s easy to transport between my working area and the kitchen to get a refill.- The lid lifts off with minimal effort, but sits nice and snug otherwise.Fantastic style. Really. It’s like IKEA fell in love with Crate and Barrel and their kid grew up, went to visit friends in Okinawa and ducked into a café for a moment to get out of the rain since their glasses were all wet with rain drops and they accidentally bumped into in a Kickstarter project that used Helvetica instead of Avenir for all their marketing, and then they eventually fell in love and they had a kid, but not right away. That kid would be this cup. And this cup deserves to be hand-washed at least twice a week, rather than undramatically abused in a dishwasher next to its elder kitchen cupboard residents adorned with crusty left-over oatmeal chunks and dehydrated salad dressing swirls.Some say the silicon gasket on the lid gets mildewy or moldy, but I’m just not sure how that’s possible if you remove it and clean it regularly like a responsible adult. Trying not to throw around words like “lazy” or “not good with details”, but I’m just not seeing how this would get grody. It’s not the cup’s fault. Just sayin’.The silicon gasket does come off from the neat wooden (bamboo) lid with a little thinking about how it’s made and lightly prying it from the impeccably machined groves it fits into with the edge of a spoon or some other thin and narrow yet blunt object so as to not damage the gasket, and then contorting and pushing the straw port a bit back through its own hole to get it released.The seal even at the straw port is great, though not totally leak-proof at the straw port because of the straw, you know, but the circumference seal is nice for typical cup usages. I haven’t knocked the cup over yet because of computers and papers on my desk so… maybe the silicon gasket seal is physics-proof and stays in place regardless of the effects of gravity, hydrodynamics and inertia? Probably best to not swing your arms or other objects around when near a glass of water (or whatever) and electronics and other hydro-sensitive materials.The rounded edge of the glass feels nice when you wanna go strawless; which might be more often than you think since the straw—being some sort of cheap and nicely sized plastic tube (and consequently the only thing that bugs me about this product)—is really the only thing capable of leaving that plasticky chemical smell we’re all trying to get away from, hence looking at glass drinking containers here in the Bezos’ garage sale.I do wish the straw was on par with the rest of everything else about this cup.Just get the cup. It’s cool. Works great. It’s not designed to bounce so don’t drop it. If you do, though, because accidents and pets and kids happen, don’t blame-shift on the cup or the people that made the cup, or the pets, or the kids—unless they did it on purpose in which case trade them in for house plants if you lack self-control with “accidents”.

Very nice cup
I really like this cup. Got it late last year and I keep it on my nightstand (on a coaster because of there's ice in it, there's a bit of sweat) to have water close by (and occasionally things like lemonade if we're having snuggle in bed night).It washes up easily, I like that it's glass rather than plastic (I probably should have switched out the straw for metal), and it's been very sturdy. It doesn't get roughed up too much, but has been knocked over a number of times. Saying that, the lid seals enough to keep it secure and minimize water spills.My ONLY issue and why I am currently looking for a new one is I left it on the bathroom sink and my Husky couldn't resist it. He likes taking cups and.. well.. eating them (we find him running around with Starbucks paper cups especially). I found the cup on the floor, unbroken (thankfully), I just have no idea where he hid the lid/straw. So it survived a dog taking it off the sink.I would definitely recommend.

My daughter loves it but I don't
This is a very cool cup. My 13-year-old daughter loves it. What I hate about it is that the rubber outer grip sleeve is difficult to remove, but I'm a neat freak and want to remove it periodically, clean it, and dry it vs run the risk of moisture staying between the outer rubber holder and the cup and having some kind of mold funk situation. Maybe that doesn't happen and maybe I'm a freak, but anwyay. If you want to take the thing apart to clean it, it's not fun getting the rubber sleeve off or putting it back on. Also the top is made of either wood or fake wood. A little weird. But there's a nice plastic grommet that the straw goes in and nice rubber stuff on the top that makes a good seal. Since my daughter loves it, it HAS to be aesthetically superior to other cups. It works well. But if you're looking for something that is quick to completely and thoroughly clean, buy something else.

My favorite water bottle
I absolutely can not stand drinking out of plastic cups, so I was excited to find this portable glass cup!The rubber keeps any condensation away from my surfaces, and it’s so stable that I haven’t ever had to worry about it falling over. I actually had to get up while writing this to test it, but the lid is perfectly secure as well and won’t let any liquid out.My one and only complaint is the plastic/hard rubber straw (I’d prefer glass there as well) since it messes with the taste a bit, but you can easily add your own straw of practically any size so it’s honestly fine.

Great tumbler, crappy straw.
The tumbler is great, holds a lot, fits in cup holders, etc. On the downside, the straw isn't working that well and let's the design down. It is bamboo and therefore porous, so air gets in regardless of which end is inside the tumbler. Although that isn't the worst thing that can happen, it's still annoying enough to be considered a significant flaw.Having a bamboo straw is a bit like having a chocolate teapot - it will be very good at being cute but not so much at being a teapot. It could be that I just happened to get a faulty one, but given the porosity of (peeled) bamboo, it may be more of a design flaw that needs to be addressed. Perhaps the straw can be made from a different sustainable material that is less porous and therefore less likely to be an annoying distraction from what is overall a great design.

great bottle, but cheap plastic straws
As a glass bottle, I love it. It looks super cute and has no weird flavours. But it comes with two plastic straw that aren’t very good quality so I had to replace them with a metal one.

Stain washes off
The tumbler is fine, but the stain of the wood went spotty as soon as a few drops of water fell on it. Otherwise — it’s a tumbler, it does the job.

The bottle is very attractive, more a glass than a bottle
Overall, I like this water “bottle”. It does a good job to keep water cold, but when ice is added the bottle sweats A LOT. Another irritant is that the lid does not close tight at all, in fact it just really sits on top of the glass. I can’t bring this with me tucked in my purse bottle pouch or in a water bottle carrier, for example, I can only carry it around in my hand or in the car cup holder. The rubber/plastic cover is attractive and good for protecting the glass but I have been unable to take it off to clean the bottle underneath it. Good point is that the water tastes good in it, there is no after taste like there is in others. I just wish the lid was a better fit. My glass straw fits nicely in the operating and that and the inside is easy to clean.
