The 8 Best Glass Water Bottles, Including a Few of Our Tested Favorites

Best Overall

Takeya Sure-Grip Glass Water Bottle

$23 at Amazon $23 at Takeyausa.com

Takeya's insulated water bottle is a favorite of ours, and this glass version is a great alternative. Take the leakproof lid, for instance, which has a convenient finger loop, a foldable straw spout, and a wide mouth diameter that makes it easy to add ice cubes and clean without the help of a bottle brush. The base of the water bottle has a helpful silicone bumper that protects the bottle and stops slipping on surfaces.

The borosilicate bottle glass is thermal shock resistant, odor-free, stain-free, and has a safe shell coating that gives it a soft touch and prevents dangerous shattering if it's dropped. The 22-ounce capacity is great for avoiding constant refills, and the quality is excellent for the price. This bottle will surely take on the mantle for your favorite drinking glass at home and on the go.

Capacity: 22 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Fits in Cup Holder: No

Best with Infuser

Beast Hydration System

$38 at Amazon View on Thebeast.com

The Best Blender System sells the Hydration System separately from their personal blender if you want a serious infuser bottle. It has a twist-top lid and carry cap and is made from borosilicate glass and silicone for great durability. Weighing in at two pounds, it is fairly heavy and might not be ideal as a travel water bottle. However, with the addition of the infuser, it can be worth the splurge for anyone who loves flavored water or tea.

The stainless steel infusion chamber won't let pulp or seeds into the water, so the glass is always easy to clean as needed. We also like that the bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Capacity: 25.4 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Weight: 2 pounds | Fits in Cup Holder: Yes

Best Sports Bottle

ZULU Atlas Glass Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve

$17 at Amazon $33 at Walmart View on Zuluathletic.com

For hikers, cyclists, campers, and gym-goers, the Zulu Atlas bottle is a durable and effective option that can stand up to rigorous activities. The silicone sleeve is extra thick with traction to protect the bottle and withstand impacts. The lid is a one-touch button for easy access while on the go and locks again with a simple flip. The 20-ounce capacity is enough to stay hydrated without weighing down a sports bag or soft cooler, and the bottle is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Capacity: 20 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Weight: 1.32 pounds | Fits in Cup Holder: Yes

Best Personalized

W&P Porter Water Bottle

View on Wandp.com

The W&P Porter series offers some of the prettiest sustainable cups, food storage containers, and mugs for your kitchen. Their water bottle is no exception, and it comes in trendy colors that tend to sell out regularly. The 20-ounce bottle is leakproof and great to tote everywhere, even for iced drinks other than water. The silicone sleeve protects the food-grade borosilicate glass, and the bottle can handle the dishwasher — no sweat. It'll also fit in most cup holders, which is great news for busy parents and commuters. Unlike several other glass water bottles, the Porter is microwave-safe too.

W&P also offers personalization for several of its products, including the water bottle in all eight colors. It's great for gifting, along with their deals for grouped items like the Hydration Bundle, which includes the Porter water bottle, the Porter mug, and the Porter glass.

"This is the perfect everyday option. It’s made with durable glass that has a little weight to it but isn’t so heavy that it makes it a hassle to carry water around. I was tired of the metallic taste that can develop over time with steel bottles. This is simple, carries the right amount of water, and the smooth silicone exterior prevents any condensation. It also fits into cupholders," says Commerce Food Writer Kristin Montemarano.

Best Value

Ello Water Bottle

Orig. $17 $15 at Amazon $23 at Walmart $12 at Office Depot

Sometimes messing with a straw or a detached cap is more trouble than it's worth. Ello has several different glass water bottle styles, and the Syndicate is a great option for keeping things simple. The one-touch flip lid from Ello makes it easy to drink straight from the glass instead of a plastic nozzle or straw. That means you can take a sip and close it with just one hand, which is helpful in busy households and for travelers and commuters.

All the parts are dishwasher-safe, and the sleeve and seal are made of BPA-free food-grade silicone that doesn't need to be removed for cleaning. The glass interior won't leach smells, stains, or unwanted tastes. At half the price of more expensive competitors, the Ello is also the best value in our roundup.

Capacity: 20 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Weight: 1.3 pounds | Fits in Cup Holder: Yes

Best Glass Tumbler

tronco Water Bottle

Orig. $30 $16 at Amazon $29 at Walmart

If you prefer a straw and don't need to pack your water in a bag or insulated tote, this bottle is great to keep on hand. It comes with either a screw-on mason jar-style lid or an easily removable wooden lid and is safe for the top rack of the dishwasher. The width is perfect for adults and kids alike. There are nearly fifty color options, and it also comes in bundles if you're buying it for an event like a birthday party or bachelor or bachelorette trip.

Tronco's tumbler comes in four sizes, but all maintain the same 3-inch diameter to stay compatible with cup holders, which is ideal for driving. It works just as well for water as it does for iced coffee and cold drinks, and the silicone sleeve will protect it from slippery condensation and accidental drops. If the bottle breaks within the first year, the company will also send a free replacement.

Capacity: 16, 20, 24, or 28 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Weight: 1.3 pounds | Fits in Cup Holder: Yes

Best Oversized

Mukoko Half Gallon Glass Water Bottle

Orig. $31 $24 at Amazon

Gym-goers and folks who always find themselves in constant need of hydration will do best with a large-capacity bottle. Don't let the weight deter you (it's nearly 2 pounds empty). This is a great multi-cap option. The lid has a leakproof seal, and the silicone sleeve will protect it from most conditions. It has a removable straw to fit your drinking needs, and the wide mouth is great for adding large frozen fruits or ice cubes as needed. Sip straight from the top or use the straw for easy access.

In our tests, we found this bottle to be huge yet manageable, and we could hold it in one hand thanks to the grippy silicone exterior. We also appreciate its dual cap options, sturdy lid, and comfortable handle.

Capacity: 64 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: No | Weight: 1.76 pounds | Fits in Cup Holder: No

Best Durable

PurifYou Water Bottle

Orig. $30 $22 at Amazon

Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night, contacts out, fumbling in the darkness for your water glass, or find yourself sifting through your seemingly bottomless bag searching for your water bottle. The glow-in-the-dark option from Purifyou is the perfect solution, with three sizes and several non-glow colors to choose between. The bottle is also extra durable, with thick borosilicate that can withstand drops and bumps.

The time and volume markings on the exterior are perfect for anyone tracking their daily water intake or trying to stay hydrated for health purposes. The small 12-ounce size is great for smaller bags and purses, and the large 32-ounce option is a work desk staple.

Capacity: 12, 22, or 32 ounces | Dishwasher-safe: Yes | Weight: 15.7 ounces | Fits in Cup Holder: No
