  Looking for 1L glass bottle.

  I am looking for a glass bottle that can be filled at home and used at work on a daily basis. Approximately 1L is what I am looking for. Easy to open, drink from, seal and wash. I have looked extensively and not found anything yet. Suggestions welcome.

  By the way if one wants the cleanest food or drinking container then glass is the best option.

  Ceramics are made from clay and all sorts of things in clay may slowly diffuse out. Glazed ceramics can limit contamination from the clay. But then some glazed products are know to be toxic.

  Metal containers also have problems. Many metal surfaces will oxidize which results in the metal entering the liquid or food as a metal cation. This is less of a problem with stainless steel. But it is still a problem. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel. In other words it gets complicated once you use something other than good quality clear* glass which is also cheap.

  * no dyes, no painted surfaces, no nothing, just glass

  Best,
