This is a MUJI acrylic cold water bottle. There is an instruction manual inside.
Compared the size side by side with a milk pack with a capacity of 1000 ml. The acrylic cold water bottle is 10cm wide and 29cm high.
The depth is 14.5 cm, about twice the milk carton.
The pot part has a slightly concave shape, making it easy to hold.
The content is about 2 liters. The pot body is made of acrylic resin, the lid and strainer are made of polypropylene, and the packing is made of silicon rubber.
As the name of 'acrylic cold water bottle' suggests, the container is only for cold water.
The actual weight of the pot body was 462 grams.
The lid can be removed by turning it 270 degrees counterclockwise.
The mouth part of the pot looks like this.
The inside of the lid has a tea pack holder that can be easily removed by twisting it.
The lid has a packing to keep it airtight.
Since the content is about 2 liters, I tried pouring water from a 2 liter plastic bottle.
The large mouth of the pot makes it easy to pour water.
When 2 liters of water was added, the water surface reached the boundary between the white part of the pot and the acrylic part.
I put a pack of barley tea in the tea bag and closed the lid.
Then, the water level rose by the volume of the tea bag and barley tea bag, and when the lid was closed, the contents spilled a little. If you use a tea bag, the amount of drink you can put in the acrylic cold water bottle will be slightly less than 2 liters.
It looks like this when you put it in the refrigerator. It's bigger than a milk carton, so it takes up a lot of space. If the inside of the refrigerator is wide, it can be stored in the door pocket.
However, depending on the refrigerator, it may not be possible to store it properly if it is the door pocket part. In the case of the refrigerator that I love in the GIGAZINE editorial department, when I put it in the door pocket, it hit the upper shelf and could not be stored properly.
The acrylic cold water bottle is highly airtight, so it is a big advantage that it can be stored sideways. I put the acrylic cold water bottle on its side overnight in the refrigerator to strain the barley tea, but it didn't spill at all. When placed horizontally, put the handle down so that the acrylic cold water bottle will not roll around in the refrigerator and will be stable.
The following movie shows the acrylic cold water bottle lying down with the barley tea actually put in and the lid tightly closed. Not a single drop of barley tea spilled from the mouth, showing how well it seals.
And the following movie shows where barley tea is poured into a cup with an acrylic cold water bottle.

The acrylic cold water bottle is highly airtight, so it is a big advantage that it can be stored without spilling even if it is placed on its side. It is a difficult point that there is considerable power in. The lid itself has a small groove to prevent it from slipping, but it is not designed to catch your fingers, so it will be difficult to open if your hands are wet. Even male editorial staff had to put in a lot of effort to open the lid, so if you have a weak grip, it may be difficult to open the lid.
And when the contents of the acrylic pot are cold, condensation forms and tiny droplets of water adhere to the surface. The shape of the pot is concave and easy to hold, but when the contents are full, including the weight of the acrylic cold water bottle itself, it weighs about 2.5 kg by simple calculation. If you hold an acrylic container that weighs about 2.5 kg while it is wet, your hand may slip and drop it. It is recommended to wipe the surface of the pot thoroughly before holding it.
When washing, remove the lid and scrub the pot part. The mouth is wide enough to fit your hand in, allowing you to wash thoroughly with a sponge.
Remove the packing and wash the lid. The packing is easy to remove, and the structure of the lid is simple, making it easy to wash.
Remove the tea bag holder and scrub it firmly.
Since there are few parts, it does not take time to wash.
However, since the white part of the pot part does not come off, if you put it straight, water will accumulate in the upper part (red frame) of the handle. Therefore, it is better to put it slightly tilted toward the mouth as shown in the image.
The acrylic cold water bottle is 799 yen including tax and can be purchased at Amazon.co.jp.
