This one works really well for us but we started with this Nuk sippy cup http://www.amazon.com/NUK-Learner-Silicone-Bundle-Patterns/dp/B00GEF7LMA/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1427747772&sr=1-1&keywords=nuk+sippy+cup

My son has been using these for 6 months and has had not problem with not getting enough liquid. I truly believe these are the best sippy cups we have tried which is about 8 different styles/brands.

Definitely didn't have that problem. We bought about 10 of these and they were the perfect transition cup.

I do the same thing. My daughter loves this cups. She has 4 and every single one I cut a larger hole. It's a must!!! My friends son used these also but she never cut the spout. The doctor told her to stop using them because they were affecting the roof of his mouth! I'm guessing from sucking so hard.I've tried several times changing my daughter's cups but she wants these so I will continue cutting the spouts till she grows out of her obsession!

I had the same problem on a bottle I ordered back in May 2014. They didn't have the right coating and tasted so bitter/sour that I choked on one. I still have the bottle because it was too late to return them but I might try calling the manufacturer for a replacement. I just stopped taking them.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Make sure you plug the spout BEFORE you put any liquid into the cup. That way, no fat gets into the spout, that makes a world of difference between other separators

I occasionally get grinds in my cup when using any brand of K-cups. The foil top could seal around the piercing needle and the hot water builds up pressure so it squirts out the bottom hole with much pressure! Or we might need to pierce the top twice and make the hole too large?? Who knows! All you need to do is strain it with a tea strainer! It only happens to me about once a year. I love my Keurig anyway!

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

Hi, I had trouble at first, but finally figured out that the cup has to be pushed all the way to the right and it pushes real hard. Once you get the lid on and turn it, push down on the lid as you turn it. It turns harder than you think it should. Hope this helps.

They can be squeezed. That's the main point of it being a "trainer". It "teaches" them to drink from a straw because you can squeeze it to help the liquid flow up from the cup and through the straw and into their mouth. HOWEVER, it is very hard to squeeze and get it to actually work. I love these cups, all except for the squeeze part. It just doesn't work well.EDIT: I would assume either size can be squeezed. As long as it is called a "trainer", it has the ability to be squeezed.

I remember it was very hard to get them out! I think even the handle broke in one of them. I think I tried warm water but I never used them again :(

My suggestion is return those immediately they are crap and do not work....buy EZ cup very light paper inserts with very thin paper lids work great....I sent these back....ugh....awful product...yes they will give refund on open products...the stand was a joke people.

Give it just a minute or two (not too long or they will defrost obviously) and then I just hold a hand on each side and try to twist the trays a little. I know it feels like there is no give but they will pop out. I've also run the back under warm water just for a second and then flipped it onto the lid and they slide right out! Good luck!

They are not microwavable. I think they are very difficult to drink from. When I was transitioning my eldest to a cup, he tried and tried to drink from these. He finally would just cry. So, I tried to drink from them and I had difficulty.

I had the same issue at first. I still don't understand what the top cap is for. To drink out of it, unscrew the whole top. Where you pour the water in is also where you're supposed to drink.

Same here, but we got them close..now HOW DO YOU OPEN IT? I'm afraid that when I bottle the Kombucha I wont be able to open them again.

I had a similar issue at first. A reviewer recommended "Tablecraft H320C 2 Pack Hinged Flip Top Pourers. Perfect!

Yes... just try again. I've done that a couple of times but I usually didn't push the insert up into the top good enough. (I love these cups! Just order replacement parts for them because I had the soft spout for my youngest and now moving to the hard spout. My oldest uses the straw top now. Awesome!)

I was wondering what the heck was going on with that too! My first order had the HARD spout, which i absolutely LOVED/ worked Great! then i re-ordered another set like just 2 weeks later, and it was the "soft" spout! Terrible!! she would squeeze it & liquid EVERYWHERE!! i would have returned it right away! but my husband had already opened the package. Looking at the current photo listed, it looks like the Solid Hard spout again. I'm gonna order again and cross my fingers (and will be careful to send back if it's the wrong one again!!)
