Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth Cafe Cap

I have zero problems with this cap.

No leaking, no stinking, no nothing.

I LOVE it.

I hate unscrewing caps all day and this cap is the perfect solution for your Klean Kanteen bottle if you want easy access to your drink.

Of course, I keep my bottle upright! Best way to keep liquids from spilling out of your bottle.

I use it with the 20 oz insulated and I couldn't be happier with this combination.

Pros:

Screw cap doesn't leak around cylinder seal.
Cap is easy to take apart and clean.
Cap feels sturdy.
Cap is easy to drink out of.
Cap is dishwasher safe.
Cap is non BPA plastic.

Cons:

Cap isn't leak proof. With the cap closed, tipping and inverting leaks slightly.
Cap can splatter when opening and closing the drinking hole.
Plastic cap insert that connects the two parts of the cap is thin plastic. It might wear out or break after many cleanings.

It's a pity that I have to give this item a bad review, but this cap leaks. I bought it to the Klean Kanteen insultaed water bottle, that is great, and, unfortunaterly, the cap is really bad, made a mess in my daughter's bagpack.

I have Klean Kanteen's 16-ounce insulated bottle so I bought this cap to go with it. It's very convenient and it's the cap I use all the time while at home or at the office. I find it indispensable.

But because the cafe cap is not leakproof, when I carry the bottle outside I have to put back the original cap that came with it. Because of this, I only gave it four stars. I know it's possible to make a cafe-style cap that is leakproof because an inexpensive plastic water bottle I bought at the drugstore a few weeks ago has one. A hinged tab on the cap lifts up to take a sip and snaps back down. There is a gasket on the underside of the tab that makes it waterproof. So it can be done.

As for cleaning the cafe cap, it's a little inconvenient but it's pretty easy to pop off the rotating disk that covers the drinking hole. From the underside/inside of the cap, just squeeze the little post in the center while simultaneously pushing it out. The disk slides out so you clean it.

So while not perfect, it's still a pretty handy cap to have and I use it all the time. I would not hesitate to buy it again. But I sure wish Klean Kanteen would design another cap for the bottle that is both leakproof and easy to drink from.

This cap does just what it says it will do, and does it well. Simple to use, twists shut with a snap and is easy and comfortable to drink out of. As stated in the product listing, this is not an air tight cap so it will leak out if tipped upside down, but that is true for all Cafe caps.
