A cup for you-portable glass water bottle

I recently read in a Harvard Medical article that the FDA has urged people to limit their exposure to BPA in plastics, which is hard to do because it's in quite a lot of things. The article further said that people who use popular water bottles for their main source of drinking water for a week had an increase in BPA of 60%.

 

Thus I decided to try a glass water bottle. I've tried a few and I really like this one.

 

Most glass water bottles aren't 32 oz, and I prefer the larger water bottle as I drink a lot of water, and it holds more water near my bed overnight.

 

This is a high quality glass that is resistant to thermal shock. If that's new to you try searching the type of glass this is it's fairly interesting, but this is a nice bottle that shouldn't fracture from freezing or hot water in the dish water (if that's a concern for you)

 

The glass is a decent thickness so it's not heavy, but I'm not concerned about it breaking unless I drop it. I haven't dropped it yet fortunately.

 

The bottle is thinner and taller than I expected. It makes it easier to grip and fit into more cup holders, though not all.

 

The glass has a bit of a tactile feel, even after scrubbing with dawn so I expect the grip to remain. I'm not worried about my grip when the bottle's dry, though it's clearly a bit slippery when wet, I'm not worried about it then either. I wouldn't want it to have a rubber or silicone grip on it, however some people might.

 

The water from the glass tastes great. I have some regular cheap glasses and a BPA free water bottle but the water tastes notably better from this bottle.

 

The top is snug and doesn't leak. The entire bottle including the lid seems to be high quality so I'm not concerned it will leak.

 

The two changes I would make would be

A) An auto open and close lid from pushing a button.

B) Measurements outlined on the bottle

 

neither of this diminish how much I like this bottle though.
