Reviews
"If you're looking for a way to reduce usage of cups in any way this is a great repeat usage product."
"When you put iced/cold beverages into them, they stay cold not for a few hours, but a whole day, or overnight. It was a bonus for the Atlins to also have the straw and straw cleaner. We only use them for cold drinks though, so not sure how they would do with something hot."
"Way to hard to keep clean , while this Atkin mug is so easy to clean , no little parts and soooo much cheaper then Teavana ."
"There is a metal straw and a cleaning brush for the straw, however I don't use the metal straw at all. Just started using the metal straw and wow I'm a convert, I might sound like a complete green head but the amount of plastic straws that'll be saved from my consumption, I'm totally gonna gravitate towards using reusable straws from now on."
"I recently bought this tumbler because the company I work for just moved to distance which requires longer traveling time. I was driving to work, took a sip and noticed that the coffee taste was different from what it was after brewing it at home. The next day after washing the tumbler and lid multiple times, I tried again and again the coffee taste was altered, but I didn't know why. I really needed a large cup to carry my coffee so I figured I'll try again, but without the lid this time. Please see the email exchange below between me and Atlin support team and how they decided to handle this issue. Best Regards, Ada. Power-innovation Customer Service. That was how Atlin decided to handle this issue, by telling me not to use the lid which was purchased with the tumbler as a unit."

"The pumps don't get easier so the first pump feels the same as the 100th pump. I will just buy some more little stoppers for the pump we already have and return the pump I just bought that was more money and didn't work."

"I used this wine vac and tested the same opened bottle every day."
"This is a well-designed wine stoppering kit."

"My step mom had these and I was soo pleased with hers I bought a set and we have eventually collected more stoppers because we are quite the wine drinkers in my house."

Best Corkscrews & Openers

Professional Wine Opener by HiCoup – Natural Rosewood All-in-one Waiters Corkscrew, Bottle Opener and Foil Cutter, the Favoured Choice of Sommeliers, Waiters and Bartenders Around the World
Enjoy the craftsmanship of AMAZON'S #1 TOP RATED premium quality, sommelier-inspired waiters friend at an amazing low price! If you are a bartender, waiter or server, you don't want to rely on multiple tools to open a bottle of red wine or a beer. Our openers provide servers with a stylish industrial quality and durable 3 in 1 multi function tool that elegantly blends the features of a wine corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter in a stylish and durable 420 stainless steel body with a comfort-grip wooden handle. This corkscrew elegantly blends the features of a wine corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter all together in a stylish and DURABLE 420 STAINLESS STEEL body with comfort-grip wood handle. The precision-cut notch along the screw grips the cork firmly and also reduces the drag as it cuts through the cork, making it less likely the cork will crumble and offering a significant advantage over other types of screws. The two step hinge makes opening wine twice as easy by allowing for a nice, 2-step pull and removal of the cork and offers a significant mechanical advantage over older-style single-hinge corkscrews.
Reviews
"I also didn't want to drop fifteen dollars on something that I go through so often at my workplace, but I took a chance and bought it anyways. With a nice finish on the wood and a comfortable grip, it works perfectly in a high paced work atmosphere. I plan on owning this for a long time and since the company offers a lifetime warranty on the product, I don't think I'll ever need to replace it. I dabbed a little bit of olive oil onto a rolled paper towel and rubbed some into the two hinges, thus reducing the friction of the metal and fixing my one and only problem."
"If you're looking for a new opener this is the one for you...it's heavy and feels great in your hand!"
"At first feel I thought the spring was too stiff, but when I used it for the first time I realized it was the perfect stiffness."
"The fulcrum is tall enough to fully extract the cork, a shortcoming of lesser corkscrews with a smaller fulcrum."
"It "looks" good but I actually dont think it deserves so many 5 stars."
"Thinking that a wine opener is a wine opener I ordered the this HiCoup corkscrew since it has good reviews and was reasonably priced."
"The only (potential) negative is that it can be rough on the cork, but this is really only a negative for those who are very particular in saving corks. It doesn't crumble the cork in the way that many corkscrews with subpar worms can, but because of how thick the knuckle part is, it can rather can easily slice through the top of the cork, especially if the bottle has been chilled."
"I purchased this unit with my own funds nobody sent me anything for free, but I wanted to share how pleased I am with this product."

Best Decanters

Le Chateau Wine Decanter - 100% Hand Blown Lead-free Crystal Glass, Red Wine Carafe, Wine Gift, Wine Accessories
Free your wine from the grasp of an air restricting bottle by letting it flow into our elegant crystal wine decanter aerator. Pouring the wine from the bottle to the decanter oxygenates the wine and releases its rich aroma and flavor. When an entire bottle of wine is poured into OUR decanter, the wine reaches the widest diameter on the decanter allowing for maximum aeration!
Reviews
"The seller has been great on following up to ensure that I was happy with the product as well as the delivery."
"There seem to be issues with some decanters of this shape, such as washing, drying, pouring, however, the Chateau Wine Decanter does not share any of those issues. What I liked about the decanter. - it ls large, solid, lovely - does not need to be babied. - it washed easily, just with soap and water. - it dried beautifully within minutes (other decanters experience difficulty). - the mouth, although slanted, holds the wine funnel at a correct angle (I had wondered about that). - the size of the mouth is a perfect fit for the the size of the wine funnel - one does not need to hold the funnel while pouring. - when serving, it poured out every last bit of liquid (other decanters experience difficulty). - it has a round hollow foot at the bottom (visible in picture), which will hold sediments beautifully. - the width of the neck just above the bowl, is a bit larger than some other decanters, which allows more air for breathing, and also, helps in drying after washing."
"Also it doesn't spill (which is a very important feature if you don't want to change the tablecloth every time you're having wine) and it absolutely helps bringing out the taste of the wine."
"First things first, I did not receive this product for free, or to be asked to give some hokey review."
"First, let me say the product is perfect."
"We purchased this wine decanter based on its excellent reviews."
"The slanted opening also is an excellent design and prevented dripping."
"Iid been using an aerator that you hold in one hand over the glass and use the other to pour, but like this a lot more."

Reviews
"Pluses: 1) You can use regular ice cubes...no need to obtain block ice. 2) There is a safety feature that requires the handle to be depressed far enough that it prevents accidental contact between soft tissue and the rapidly spinning blade inside. 3) Be very careful reaching into the chute where you add the ice cubes, even when the machine is unplugged because the blade is VERY sharp as it needs to be to do its job. Make sure that when you are done you incline the machine toward the front so ice and water can drain out as it melts."
"Put a dish cloth underneath because it will drip."
"Now we can have our ice and eat it to:)."

"Works great!"
"This is better than the various jerry-rigged implements I'd used for muddling, but it's not really something I use very often in the kitchen."

"There are some great, easy to make recipes that were a real treat."
"Works well, hard plastic tip with hollow but thick metal handle, chose this over a wooden one to not have contamination/flavor carry over but I'm not sure what firmness the actual muddling end should be, this one is rock hard and I don't suggest washing it in the dishwasher (the instructions may say not too do so, but I didn't read), you've got to contact them for a digital cocktail book of very basic drinks not really requiring a muddler."

Best Seltzer Bottles & Chargers

100 ea Leland Soda Chargers Seltzer Chargers CO2
Size: 100 Pack. Durable non threaded weld sealed stainless steel construction.
Reviews
"I like the carbonation without out all the chemicals and sugar that can be found in soda pop. These work great with my iSi 2248 Soda Siphon, Brushed Aluminum, 1 Liter (also found on Amazon)."
"I make some of my own recipes for syrups to which I dilute with water and put them in a 1 liter Stainless Steel Bottle."
"Looking at the boxes, there's a lot more information on these, which makes me like them better, such as: Carbon Dioxide Gas 99.95% min. Air (Atmospheric) trace. Water Content <100ppm. Triple Filtered <40 microns. Gas Pressure @70F 738psi. and. "The CO2 gas used in this product is natural and does not contain any additives." There's no comparable information on the Whip-it box. So, while I am still largely in ignorance of what makes a good charger cartridge, I like these better than the Whip-Its I was buying before for the greater information (and apparent goodness)."
"They work like they are supposed to and, while not from the U.S., these Hungary made cylinders work fine to make soda."
"Having now put my hands on everything I wanted to come back and assure the tentative (like me) that it is not nearly as big of a deal as some people make it out to be! But if you are not mechanically inclined, here is what I did: Cut a strip of cardboard off the shipping box (the corrugated kind, not the thin cardboard from the individual containers) about an inch wide and 3 inches long. Attempt to slide it into the hole in the lid above the cartridge (it is about an inch tall, plenty of room to work with). Push the cap down to make sure it can still close without the length compromising anything (the length just folds up to fit along the cartridge, imagine holding a strip of cardboard up to your finger tip and then folding it down to rest flat)."
"My wife's Uncle Bob surprised me with an iSi 750ml "extra fizz" seltzer bottle for Christmas and these chargers fit it just as well as the 10 iSi chargers he had included with the gift."
"Will update with that brand here for all to see when I order them next."

Best Swizzle Sticks

Bar Spoon spins while you stir for effortlessly professional results and does not require a change in grip to keep the back of the Spoon against the edge of a glass.
Reviews
"The no-slip rubber grip in the middle is very helpful, as is the tapered design, for maintaining a good hold even after imbibing in several pours."
"The other end is 1 & 1/2 ounces, elsewhere considered a "standard" measure... AND it looks cool, kind of futuristic."
"Also, pouring anything less than a whole ounce was extremely difficult because my measuring cup had increments of 1's. This jigger makes everything so tremendously easier."
"OXO steel double jigger makes it easy to measure various amts."
"Much needed barware tool, using a shot glass is not sophisticated enough or truly trying to make tasty cocktails."
"Makes it easy to keep up with intake to stay within healthy limits of alcohol."
"The measurements it has are perfect for making drinks; see the product description."

"I bought this for a couple who love wine more than I do (nearly impossible) after having mine for a couple years, then I bought it again for another friend when she and her hubs bought a house!"
"I used this wine vac and tested the same opened bottle every day."
"This is a well-designed wine stoppering kit."
"We have a hard time finishing a bottle in one sitting and this gives us about 3 days before we notice much deterioration in flavor."
"My first one lasted many years."
"There is no "Vacu Vin" labeling on the pump."

Reviews
"It's a great backup to have when someone breaks or discards a cork, but I like them so much I prefer using them over the original cork, even if it's in perfect shape."
"We have even turned bottles on their sides in the refrigerator and the stopper stayed in."
"They're easy enough to get into the wine bottle, and more importantly - pretty easy to get out - while still sealing them completely and securely."
"Bought these as a hostess gift, to go along with wine that we brought."
"Great price, new packaging, looks just like my other Rabbit Wine Bottle Stoppers."
"Beer Bottle, as I usually don't drink a full bottle of Craft Brew in one sitting... which makes for great left-overs the next night!"
"Our apartment rarely finishes a bottle of wine and we love that these bottle stoppers keep the wine fresh!"
"I got them from amazon for $8 and free shipping."
