I am excited about these bottles have become more and use them as beverage bottles with or without syrup for water from Wassersprudlern (Soda Stream, for example). It smells not like plastic or chemicals unlike other bottles. It is robust and holds the occasional fall from approx 1-1,50 meters from. Also so far the tab that secures the lid on the bottle, not cracked or broken, which is often a weak point of other manufacturers. Toll I find that the bottle is completely sealed and that, although it has no sealing ring of soft rubber, these are often susceptible to mold or will eventually porous. Despite frequent washings in the dishwasher and the imprint and the Scala is legible.
For me, currently the best bottle for my homemade soda drinks !!!
