Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Contigo AUTOSEAL Water Bottle, 24 Ounces, Blue
Customer Review: Great for water, UNSUITED FOR PROTEIN POWDER
Summary: 4 Stars
These are undoubtedly the best water bottles I've ever owned, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone for water. However, I would NOT recommend these for powdered drinks. Read the last section for elaboration.
My friend bought this three-pack because it was the most interesting bottle that Costco carried, and when we opened it up, we were surprised to find that it had the Autoseal valves. I have to say that the valves make a world of difference. They dramatically increase convenience and can actually increase the volumetric flow rate of water you can take in. Since it has an intake valve, you can basically "shotgun" the water without worrying about bubbles of air getting in your way. Just don't tip it too far; the intake valve can be quite rude to the overzealous.
The bottle features a measuring label on the side. It opens and closes easily, has a securely nestled rubber o-ring to prevent leaks, and even has a carabineer-like latch built into the top. It's wide enough to latch onto the belt of a shoulder bag. The valve opens and closes effortlessly. For the most part, the bottles are easy to clean as long as you make sure never to store them closed.
There are only two drawbacks to the bottles. One has to do with the o-ring. Don't overtighten the bottle when closing it. When the embossed Contigo logo lines up with the measuring stripe, you're good. If you turn too far, the o-ring will start to bunch up and leak, since it is not fixed to the lid. To fix the bunching, grip the lid with your palm against the top and rapidly twist it back and forth to agitate the o-ring.
-- POWDERED DRINKS --
The other drawback has to do with powdered drinks, especially protein powders. If you shake the bottle and drink from it, some of the liquid will get trapped up in the intake valve. The residue will eventually start to give odors and even grow bacteria, and you'll be able to taste it in the water. If you own this bottle and the water tastes like ice cubes from your freezer, this is why.
Cleaning the intake valve is a real pain, because it's inaccessible and the lid can't be disassembled. Your only choice is to force water through. You can do this with a pump; by turning the bottle upside-down with water inside and blowing into the spout; filling it with hot water or carbonated water, turning it upside-down, and pressing the valve partway to only open the valve; and so on.
To compound the issue, the bottle's shape is slightly tapered at the top, so you'll need either alacrity or a funnel to get all your protein powder in there from the scoop. Take my advice: use this for water and get a wide-top, no-valve BlenderBottle for powdered drinks.
