I got these straws because a hard plastic straw that came with my Rove insulated beverage container broke. Someone from work recommended I get metal so I bought these. They are certainly a great value and well-made. I only have a few criticisms that lower it from 5 stars.
(1) its metal and tastes like metal. My plastic straw didn't have a funny taste.
(2) they could be a touch wider--a little thin for my taste.
(3) wish they weren't all the same height. Shorter one would be nicer but the bent straws make it bearable.
Company is amazing and cares for their product which says a lot.
UPDATE: I updated this from 4 to 5 stars. Been using this for 6 months I think about I'm really loving them--so much so that I bought a second set. I can't remember if the first set came with a two cleaning brushes and a cloth carrying case but this one did. Nice touch. All very well-made.
I never taste the metal any more. I think it was just strange to me. The metal cleans really well and I don't seem to ever need the brushes if I soak it in the dishwater and rinse well. It still would be nice to have some wider for smoothies or blended alcoholic drinks, but that's a very minor thing. I really love these straws and can't really imagine going back to plastic. They can be noisy clanging around in my metal Rove cup, but I don't care because they are just cleaner, no worry about BPA-free, and more durable than plastic. I don't know how well they work with hot drinks because I only use for cold. I bought a second set so my kids could use them too. Once again customer service is great. If you give them feedback they even email you a recipe. Excellent company. I wonder what else they sell as I would love to buy other things from them.
