So far all the glass bottles have arrived dry and that's all I am looking for when I pick up liquids. I store everything in a cabinet and they sit upright. When I use a bottle it gets transferred to plastic for ease of use.

When I ordered from other suppliers that had glass I did have leakers during transport. I also believe it's the nature of the beast. I went to hobby lobby and picked up some 240ml squeeze bottles for liquid transfers. Slice of the tip to the correct size and they work great. Just don't jam the tip all the way into the new bottle or you create to much pressure for the liquid to transfer and make a mess. And I'm speaking from experience :oops:

Just search Squeeze Bottles on their site, they have droppers there too for $3.99 for a pk of 4

You are a super super nice guy, and I have been lucky to do a few juice trades with you. You are a hero for them with the way you seal and package them and even add zotz. I highly recommend people get that experience if someone gets a chance to trade with you. That being said I have a nicoticket 500ml bottle with the a cap similar to the hobby lobby bottle. It does o.k., but I will take my mini funnel any day over that. I even tried just using the cap from one as a funnel and wasn't thrilled with the results. I had to pour slowly through it due to flow issues. I tried trimming the tip to adjust the flow as well. I think I would lose a lot of juice out of a 60ml if I tried to transfer with a 240ml bottle like that just with the residual left in the bottle. Others may have a different experience. For me there were air flow issues with trying to get the liquid in the bottles quickly. I use the smallest funnel from this set with great luck.

Anyway I don't want to sound oppositional or that your method may not work well for others, but thought I would share what my experience was.

Oppositional, no way! I already know you better then that from just hanging out on the site.

Turning us on to a great tool, absolutely and thank you Newportlocal. I have a set on the way. And the fact that they are Stainless and fairly inexpensive is a bonus.

Beast, where did you pick up those bottles?

I want to kick myself because I picked up a plastic set from amazon for the same price, had to cut it so the juice would flow correctly. Very dissatisfied. I am purchasing those stainless steel funnels on my next paycheck.

Got a set today, thank you NPL, I'd been dragging my feet on this until I realized the store was closer than I thought. Hubby took me down and now I'm set!

I was worried that the funnel ends wouldn't fit in the bottle top but indeed the smallest one is perfect :thumb:

ETA: Dani, did you see the answer to your question is right above your post? ;)

Glad you like it.:) I had been in there for things before, but felt a little awkward checking it with one of my bottles in the store.:blink: Agree it really is a perfect fit.

I had a hard time leaving the knife counter :drool:

Hubby has always used a serrated steak knife he got from his mom who got the set when she opened a bank account in the '70's. When I had my ability to chop I'd make him move back from the cutting board, make short work of the cutting, then clean and put away my wonderful knives. Now he's back to sawing :facepalm:

I told him using an actual saw would be easier. :lol:
