I have one and it’s great! I highly suggest recommend a silicone (or other material if you don’t want plastics) to cover it. Most brands on Amazon will work, just check what kind of glass it is. Mine is a no name brand off Amazon and come with a stainless steel strainer for tea/fruit

Lifefactory glass bottle sleeve included

“No taste transfer or harmful chemicals

100 percent medical grade protective silicone sleeve – non slip gripping

Dishwasher safe

BPA/BPS free

Phthalate, PVC and lead free”

Look up “glass hermetic bottles”

I use this one which has a glass lid and silicone fir tree seal

Binkmade.com!

Literally own several and are my favorite glass water bottles. I own the 27oz ones and mini.

I've always bought mine at the local TJMaxx. They have quite a good selection of glass bottles covered in silicone sleeves. My last bottle has a bamboo top, with just a little bit of plastic inside.

Soul bottles from Germany are spendy but work great: https://www.soulbottles.de/en/shop/soulbottles/

For a glass bottle at home; i just reuse an apple juice bottle. The fancy/nice one are in a big glass bottle.

Go to the store and get something in a glass bottle with a metal screw top lid or ceramic lever lid. Look in both the tonic/soda section and condiments, the variety is surprisingly huge. The ceramic lever lid bottles are also very easy to find second-hand. If you’re gonna have your bottle in a backpack, they are likely to break eventually, so it just sucks to get an fancy and pricey bottle from a store. You can get a beer cozy to protect it or sew your own. I’ve seen quilted bottle protectors which are super cute!

I have a couple ZULUs, they have a silicone wrap so you can drop them and a pop top lid, I like them. They have great customer service too, mine developed an issue after a few months and they sent me a new one

Mason jar with a lid. Stop overcomplicating it.

I have a set of Boroux bottles.

Reuse a juice or kombucha/kefir bottle. The kombucha/kefir ones come with generally very well sealing lids (to keep the bubbles in.) I reuse them for years for various things (I bought 3 specifically to keep the bottles). Also I have found excellent glass water bottles with silicone at the thrift store.

FYI, some places ban glass water bottles. For example many beaches or parks don't allow them. You may want to consider a metal alternative or have a backup of another material.

Yeti or knock-off stainless steel bottles. Double wall for insulation.

I have large mugs that hold ice for 12 hours.

Ik it’s 2025 and we’ve come a long way from plastic. But it’s still hard to find something like a fully plastic free bottle (can’t be sure if it doesn’t sneak in a plastic mouthpiece). I took a research detour hehe so a lot of brands just put the label “plastic free” but, from the inside there is always some plastic thread or silicone inner. So, found this Mayu bottle: has an actual bamboo lid with stainless steel inside the bamboo and the glass is not made from soda lime, it’s actually durable. Sure, it’s glass and some parks might not allow it but it’s about as non-toxic you can get with going full stainless steel.

I've managed to collect quite a few brands over the years. If you're looking for a top-notch water bottle, both the Owala FreeSip and the Hydro Flask come highly recommended by pretty much everyone, each for their unique features and durability.

The Owala FreeSip stands out for its innovative drinking mechanism. It offers a built-in straw for easy sipping, ideal for staying hydrated on the go without having to tilt the bottle. This feature is particularly convenient during activities like driving or working out. Additionally, you can open it up for a full-flow drink, giving you two options in one design. The insulation quality of the FreeSip is excellent, ensuring your drinks stay chilled for hours. It’s also leak-proof and comes in various sizes and attractive color options, making it as stylish as it is functional.

In contrast, the Hydro Flask is renowned for its robust build and exceptional temperature retention. Made with pro-grade stainless steel, it’s designed to withstand rough handling and still last for years. Its insulation capabilities are outstanding, keeping beverages cold or hot for extended periods. The wide-mouth design of the Hydro Flask is another plus, making it easy to fill, drink from, and clean. It’s perfect for those who prefer a more traditional, no-fuss design but still want the assurance of a high-quality, long-lasting bottle.

Popular mechanics magazine did a test on water bottles not too long ago and most bottles that are vacuum insulated work the same way and offer insulation of hot/cold for many hours. It’s more or less personal preference of lids and shape/size that could be deciding factor. One thing I will mention is my yeti gets tossed in the dishwasher daily for the last four years and still looks great. Hydro flasks are not approved for dishwasher fwiw, I tried and the outside got stained and chalky. Hydro flask has great customer service when my screw top lids leaked they sent me three to replace my old ones.

The newer with a different top don’t flip up right. I’ve had mine for years.

Warning! Do not put hot beverages in this with the assumption it will cool. It will not. It takes like 10 hours. Put it in like you want to drink it.

Middle pops out for cleaning. Lid clicks back so it doesn’t hit your nose. I’ve and water will still have ice 12 hours later. Tried other brands but I’m spoiled now.

Zoj mugs don’t go up to 30 ounces.

Edit they have 35 ounce vacuum bottle and a different thermos looking one.

Kind of depends on what your looking for. I personally have both a Hydroflash and a Ringo. So kind of depends on what you wanna spend.

I love my Ringo a little more just because I work out so I can put my phone on my water bottle magnetically and watch a show or something quite nice tbh.

I really like the yeti, it's works well both for my gym session that keeps my electrolytes water super cold for hours and also later when i am at home and siping slowly on a hot coffee or tea, it's just good at keeping temp
it' also sturdy as well which I hope means it will last me for years. one downside though is that it's a bit on the heavy side but i guess that's the material they use to keep the temp so can't have it all

edit: the yeti i got is the number 1 here: https://costnow.com/best-insulated-water-bottle/

100% this wide mouth flex cap one. Keeps my water cold and the thing is built super durable.

It also has a little handle so you can carry it around, plus you can get it in any color you want.

I love the Yeti! they are the best water bottle on the market right now imo, they are so well made and will last for years

I like Tritan Bottles, they are BPA-free plastic that is impact-resistant, its light just plastic but it doesn't have any of the health concerns using a plastic bottle have

another vote for the hydro flask, Been using it for the last 2 years and a great insulated bottle

I like VOSS

Going to go with Life Factory for my kid’s school water bottle, looks like they’re manufactured in France

I bought a bkr teeny bottle and I’m super happy with it, although it appears that they’re made in China.

I thought glass was glass. There’s no plastic or bad metals in it. I got one off Amazon with a silicone cover in case it falls.

Anthropologie Icon Juice Glasses are the best.

I bought mine at Amazon.com for the Best Glassware solid options that strike a balance between quality and affordability

Luminarc Working Glasses. We've had these for going on 30 years. They're pretty beefy, not elegant.

All you have to do is go to the thrift store and find some Anchor Hoching glasses from who knows when. I found three matching ones I like, and when I visit the thrift store, there are always extras of the exact same glass available if I wanted more.
