Review on Set of 6 Epica ๐Ÿพ Beverage Glasses - 18-Oz. Glass Bottles by Brandon Plowden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for its intended purpose

These bottles are a great product at a great price. I would give them 5 stars but the comments about the gaskets on the lids are correct. They're not sealed and tend to move down and out, especially when the bottle develops a vacuum (which often happens when you're juicing room temperature fruit/vegetables and then storing them in the fridge), but the seal is easy to clean and rebuild. back to the lid. I clean the bottles with a bottle brush after each use and then run them through the dishwasher to sanitize because I make raw juice and keep it in bottles for up to 3 days. I want them to be completely clean. That's what the bottles are for and they do their job well. I wouldn't recommend it as an everyday bottle. Without regular cleaning and drying, the problems that other users have reported of moisture causing seal failure are inevitable. I've been using the bottles for about 3 weeks now and they have survived many trips in the dishwasher. They arrived in thoughtful packaging that ensured their safety and the absence of chips during transport. For the price I paid in May 2015 at $25, the tiny lid issue is minor, and they're great for anyone looking to make juice, smoothies, or other similar beverages that will keep for a day or two and must be drunk at home. or on the go. UPDATE 07/26/2015: I stand by my original review. I wanted to add some more information about the lids. The problems others have cited and presented are entirely correct. I personally don't see that as a problem (especially for $25) because I use them to store my juice until I drink it in one sitting. Then I wash them and repeat. However, if you plan on opening/closing the lid multiple times a day, you'll likely be disappointed as they fall apart each time. The bottle couldn't be better for the price. If you find yourself drinking a little here and there throughout the day, you should look elsewhere.

Pros
  • LEAD FREE DURABLE GLASS WITH EXTREMELY WIDE NECK: Most water and juice bottles are very difficult to fill and clean, but the wide neck of these Epica bottles makes everything from filling to cleaning easy.
Cons
  • Unbelievable price for a piggy bank
