We have gone through our share of glass and steel baby bottles and now sippy cups. We avoid using plastic wherever possible and glass even with silicone wrappers eventually proved just too easy to break for our little one. For milk or juice, I would still prefer glass as metal does cause foods to oxidize/spoil faster. However, we only give water to our toddler in the steel vessels and they are a better option for this purpose.
The material, fabrication, design and quality is exceptional on the Pura.
Pura Kiki Stainless Sippy Bottle Stainless Steel with XL Sipper Spout, 11 Ounce, Aqua Blue, 6 Months+
Our other three steel sippy cups all have hard plastic parts (lids, spouts, handles, bottoms) that have all cracked or broken after being tossed onto tile or concrete by our toddler.

Klean Kanteen Kid's Stainless Steel Sippy Bottle
The Pura is the only one that has no hard plastic parts to crack or break and has held up to our toddler's abuse and still performs flawlessly.
However, we did tweak the spout on the Pura because it was too difficult to suck (though it did not drip when inverted in this state). I snipped the openings with a small scissor to make the water flow more easily. Yes, our toddler can now shake a little bit of water out (but he could do this with all the other bottles too).
The Pura Kiki is now my favorite steel sippy cup and I just purchased two more!
Thanks for reading, I hope this review was helpful.
I ordered 2 of these for my 2 year old. I was a bit upset when the bottles arrived and did not have the green Avent sippy spouts. I had to go back and check the product page and sure enough the spouts are **not included** even though product images had the spout.
PROS >>>
Good size for a toddler
Very durable
Well constructed
BPA Free
CONS >>>
Avent sippy spout is not included even though it is pictured.

We purchased the first version of this Kleen Kanteen sippy cup (trying to steer away from the weirdly shaped plastic versions). We were generally satisfied but it had multiple pieces and our 18 mo. old promptly broke the top ring making it very leaky. This new sippy top for Kleen Kanteen bottles is a great improvement over the first version, doesn't leak, and seems to be made of a very durable ABS plastic. The "dust cover" is useless since it doesn't attach to the cup in any way. If you are looking for a sippy cup that will last several children, I would go this route.
Other notes, this top might be a bit hard to clean but what sippy cup isn't. Easily thrown in the dishwasher. The paint on the bottle has chipped away under much abuse but then of course this is part of the charm and even in this state it looks much better than a scratched up plastic one.

I got the orange cup and one of the first things my son did was play with the cup by biting the bottom. Without me noticing, he scraped a good amount of paint from the cup and probably swallowed it... *great* The design of the cup itself is not too bad, but I wouldn't get one with color again. I would get the plain stainless steel.
My son loves these things. We put ice or fruit in them and he immediately reaches for them. He's almost 6 months and is teething and this thing is a lifesaver. I love the fact that there is an interchangeable rubber piece that you can swap the bag out for... he uses both equally.
