Because I like to try an aluminum bottle, but wanted to spend a fortune for it, have bought here in this blue. Looks nice, although I a "smooth" finish would be better than this "metallic" shimmers. Thanks to rubber sealing ring in the lid closes the bottle very well. While standing in the instructions: "Do not use for ice cubes or carbonated beverages" I have tentatively filled with bottled water and even shaken up - tight. Why not fizzy drinks should be filled is nowhere, but I suspect that the coating could be damaged. So do not make better, even though she holds tightly. Furthermore, nor is the use of "dairy or for warming baby food" forbidden because "possibility of bacterial growth". Hot drinks will be well suited as in the instructions for the cleaning of tea and coffee-deposits is mentioned. And finally reveals the digital kitchen scale that bottle cap including 140g are easy - there are lighter beverage containers, but who is looking towards the weight will probably not buy aluminum bottle. I forgive four out of five stars, because the bottle can all what I expected, but does not look as shown.
