Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review — we genuinely appreciate the honesty, even when the experience wasn’t a good one.
We’re sorry that the bottle felt frustrating to use. That’s not what we aim for, especially at a premium price point.
A few clarifications and updates from our side:
• Assembly & alignment: You’re absolutely right about the early version. The alignment step and upward pull you described were part of the original design, and we’ve since acknowledged that this wasn’t intuitive enough. As a result, we updated the molds — the current version no longer requires any notch alignment at all, making assembly significantly simpler.
• Sealing rings: Your feedback here is valid. In the updated version, we improved tolerances and retention to reduce the chance of seals falling out during disassembly. This was a direct result of feedback like yours.
• Size perception: The bottle can feel larger than other bottles with similar capacity due to the double-wall construction, modular system, and glass inner, which prioritizes durability, insulation, and taste neutrality over compactness.
• “Cheap” feel: While the bottle uses premium, BPA-free technical polymers and borosilicate glass, we understand that perceived value is subjective — especially if usability falls short.
Importantly, we don’t want you to feel like your purchase was a waste. If you’d like, please reach out to our support team — we can discuss compatibility options with the updated top, replacement parts, or another solution that makes sense for you.
Your feedback directly influenced real product changes, and while that doesn’t undo your experience, it does help us build a better version going forward. Thank you again for taking the time to share it.
