Bright but a bit let down 13 April 2026

when it arrived there were tiny plastic shavings hanging off the inside and I found bits when rinsing it. I know it’s not marketed as totally plastic-free, but that was still off-putting — makes you wonder what you’re mixing into your drink. I’ve used all-plastic shakers before and they at least didn’t have bits flaking off like that. Secondly, it doesn’t mix protein powders very well. Even with a decent shake I still get clumps, especially with thicker powders. If you use Huel or similar, you’ll probably spend a minute sipping the lumpier bits before adding more water. The inside of the lid has a twisted moulding — maybe meant to help break things up — but it just traps powder and is a faff to clean. I’m not always great at rinsing straight away, so that becomes an annoyance. The lid also feels fiddly to line up; a couple of times I thought it was secure and it wasn’t, which set me on edge a bit. On the plus side, for £20 I thought the price was reasonable and the bottle looks smart enough, and it does feel robust. Delivery was slower than expected though — paid for next day, took four days. So overall: nice colour and build, but the lid and mixing performance let it down for me. I’d probably try a different brand next time, unless they fix the lid and the flaking plastic.
