Title: Excellent Bottles and Caps (Passed my Destructive testing with AAA rating) 🙂
Review: I really like these bottles. They are made out of heavy quality glass and the caps do not leak. To test for leaks I lay them down. If they were to leak, I would find fluid pushed outside the bottle. After you figure out how to put the caps on, it is really easy to do and they are easy to take off too. The shipper does not include any instructions with the bottles. There is a great video showing how to put the caps on. But no information on how to re-open the bottle or remove the cap when it is time to wash the bottle. I think it would not be good to put the bottle caps in the dish washer so I remove the caps for washing. To re-open the bottle, just put your right thumb on the right wire hinge and your left thumb on the left hinge and push away from you. Do not try to lift the wire ring to un-cap. I have very strong hands, but find that to be almost impossible. To remove the cap completely for washing, just push the wire nub out of the divots in the glass.My goal with these bottles was to make Kombucha that is VERY fizzy. That means to cap the brew tight and leave it in a warm place. On my second batch I managed to explode two bottles. I was anticipating this might happen, so I had the bottles at room temperature inside an ice cooler. I happened to be in the room when they broke. I wanted to gage how powerful and dangerous a Kombucha explosion might be with this type of bottle. It turns out the bottom of the bottles blew out in a big chunk and did not appear to be all that destructive. I was in the room at the time and the sound was not much more than a “pop”. In my eyes this is a good thing. I think these bottles are designed to fail at lower than expected pressures preventing serious injury to bystanders. The bottles that survived were put in the fridge in the crisper tray in case more explosions occur.I plan to buy more bottles. (My destructive testing makes that necessary) I am really happy with them and I am really enjoying the benefits of Kombucha as it has replaced my detrimental soda pop habit.

Title: Great for Kombucha
Review: I use these for the second fermentation of my kombucha. Unlike many others I did not find attaching the swing tops to be difficult or labor intensive. Once one side of the wire was in place the other was easy to slide in and lock. Just make sure they are not inside out :)I do question the capacity though. They say 16oz but I easily fit 20 oz (2oz juice and 18 oz tea) and it only used an inch, maybe less, of the neck. I need to leave room for the fermentation but geez, that's a lot of extra room! I was expecting to only be able to use 14-15oz worth and instead I can fit extra inside. No complaints, just an observation for others who may be curious.As far as packaging, I had no issues with broken or damaged bottles. They were in a segmented box and each bottle individually swaddled in bubble wrap. A happy accident, one of the bottles was paired with 2 caps instead of one so I have a spare :)All in all an excellent price and a great product. I plan of buying more soon!

Title: nice
Review: Nice bottles bought 3 cases, and two bottles were broken in transport, but they work well.

Title: Good quality bottles, poor quality bails
Review: The bottles are of excellent quality and very attractive. However, the bails required some adjustment with pliers. You will need to slightly tweak the corners where the bail snaps onto the bottle for the cap to close. Just angle the wire tips so they're pointing straight at each other rather than at an inward angle. The goal is to get the bail length just a few millimeters longer so the top will close. This takes about 15 seconds per bottle and is not difficult as long as you realize what to do. The good news is that this means they create a very tight seal; perfect for holiday gifts! The bad news is that it's an extra headache.Aside from the issue with the bails as ordered not closing, these bottles work perfectly for our uses. Just be sure to have your tool kit handy!

Title: Not exactly what you think.... but after several uses they are working great
Review: These bottles are not exactly what you think - you think they would be just like grolsh bottles but.... the bottles themself are good quality except no design on them as pictured- no biggy.... but it's the cap that is different and in a major way. The white cap comes not assempled - no problem ... the problem is they are not porcelin they are plastic and worse the rubber gasket is permenantly glued to the plastic white cap.... the key to grolsh bottle is these gaskets are made to replace - cause they only last for about 8 uses I've been told ! so this is a key differnce and I do not see any place where you can get an entire replacement cap!!Ok. Update. I used these and worked great. Bottles are high quality. I haven't had to replace gaskets yet, but I'll let you know how that goes ......Latest update - after several uses - still working great

Review: Recomiendo la botella, muy fina y sencilla de armar. Lamentablemente una de las dos cajas que ordené llegó sin los tapones.
