Drinkware

Glasses, mugs and bottles that keep plastic away from your drink and your mouth.

We favor glass and stainless steel, and assess ceramic glazes for food use. Lids, straws and spouts must meet the same standard as the vessel; a steel bottle with a plastic drinking spout is not enough. Silicone seals are allowed, with their location identified on the product listing.

Common questions

Why review the lid on a stainless-steel bottle?

The lid, straw, and spout may be the parts that touch both the drink and the mouth. We identify those materials separately instead of treating a stainless bottle body as proof that every contact surface is metal.

Where does silicone fit?

Named food-contact silicone can be practical for gaskets, seals, straws, and protective sleeves. We still want the maker to identify its location and use instructions, especially for hot liquids and replacement parts.
