Glass Top 2.0
We can barely contain our excitement to announce a major update to our flagship Meshbottle. We absolutely loved the original design, but part supply chain necessity, and part desire to perfect it, we embarked on a design quest to increase the Glass Top’s overall quality and craftsmanship.
You will appreciate the new mineral glass insert that is not only scratch resistant, but it’s hardened to resist the rigors of everyday use. The smooth, domed surface of the glass is in stark contrast to the rough, poured finish of the original glass piece. The new design lends a more polished look to the entire bottle elevating its appearance, and giving it a whole new level of elegance.
The original Glass Top had the glass piece exposed which, unfortunately, resulted in a slightly higher rate of breakages than what we would have liked. The redesigned silicone body now features a recessed socket to protect the glass from impact. If the bottle is dropped, the silicone ridge has a much better chance of absorbing the impact and preventing the glass piece from shattering.
They say in simplicity there is truth. The classic design featured 3 components: the poured glass piece, a gasket, and the silicone body. The new design integrates the gasket into the silicone body thereby reducing the number of standalone components needed. This is a huge win from a manufacturing standpoint, but what does this mean for the user? Well, fewer parts to clean and a simpler way to assemble the top.
If you own a Glass Top Meshbottle we highly encourage you to give the new top a try. It is backwards compatible, so you will not need to purchase a brand new bottle.
New scratch resistant mineral glass: easier use, recessed design, higher quality and great looks!
Personal Ice Maker
Accessories can add significant value and utility to any product, and the Personal Ice Maker is our entry into this arena. This ice maker tray features 7 round reservoirs that will make just the right size ice balls to fit in your Meshbottle. At a little under 4.6 inches in diameter, this palm sized ice tray will fit even in the smallest of freezers. Its silicone construction will ensure that it easily finds traction on the most slippery of surfaces preventing spills. Flex rings on the back of each reservoir will help you pop out ice into your Meshbottle or into your favorite container. And because it’s made from 100% silicone you won’t have to worry about freeze-thaw cycles potentially generating micro-plastics that could end up in your beverages.
Once frozen, and out of the freezer, we recommend that you run lukewarm tap water on the backside of the Ice Maker, or let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes, to help ice/silicone separation. Enjoy your favorite beverage from your favorite Meshbottle now chilled to perfection.
Make perfect ice balls for your favorite Meshbottle.
Straw Bumper
This has been a request from our amazing audience ever since we launched our Straw Top line, so it was imperative that we responded to the call! Many of you suggested that the Straw Top Meshbottle could greatly benefit from a straw protector. We went back to the original design files of the Straw Top Meshbottle and came up with the perfect design to ensure 100% compatibility.
The result is a small silicone straw protector, made from FDA-approved silicone, that sits on the lower end of the glass straw protecting it from hitting the inside walls of the glass bottle. Every possible angle is covered so the straw has zero chance to hit the bottle from any direction while in use. The best part? Flow remains unobstructed for maximum enjoyment of your favorite beverage!
We can’t thank you enough for your constructive ideas and amazing feedback: This new addition to the Straw Top family has really created a well-rounded product. Each Straw Top Meshbottle will now ship with a Straw Bumper for superior safety and longevity of your bottle and its parts. This new product is a great example how our audience is encouraged to participate in the design process.
