Shaker Cup's, whats the best one? Free test shaker for beta testers

I've tried a bunch of shaker cups myself over the years, Ultimate Shaker, Turbo Shaker, that small Zyliss shaker, that peice of crap that ******* sells, the newer ******** shaker that even has a tiny vent hole, etc.

The Bodytech one is nice, but the pour spout is way too small for pouring my shakes. I mix my MPI with some pysillium husk (Metamucil) which makes a very thick shake. The narrow pour spout of the Buchsteiner MixChamp is also too small for my shakes.

For my money, the best one so far is the 25oz Ultimate Shaker. My problem with it is the gaskets in the caps come out easily and are difficult to put back in. Also, the pour spout caps come off too easily as well. I've had a few, and most don't leak, but some of them do.

I'm interested in trying the Buchsteiner MixMaster because it doesn't have a loose gasket that can fall out, and the pouring spout is bigger than the MixChamp.

I tell you what, if someone would come up with wide mouth, twist top stainless steel shaker that has a robust rubber gasket and a pour spout with a rubber/silicone cap, that would be perfect. Something you could toss into the dishwasher without having its shape change.

Come to think of it, it would be cool to have a lever like lid instead of the twist cap. A leverage like buckle, like you see on some Thermos products, or those waterproof camping/canooing containers for wallets and cell phones, etc.

Basically the leverage buckle puts a lot of pressure between the cap and the container, creating a really tight, leakproof seal along the rubber/silicone gasket.

Maybe there could evern be a glass inlay on the side of the stainless steel, for measuring purposes.

A BUDDY GAVE ME ONE HE GOT FROM BODYBUILDING.COM WEB SIGHT. i DON'T KNOW WHO MAKES IT FOR THEM BUT IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD AND HASN'T LEAKED ON ME YET.

Sorry about the caps.

Hey Alex...I've heard these raved about on a couple forums. They are supposed to be great for mixing the thickest of ingredients and not leak. I was planning to order one myself in the not too distant future; but if you'll give em a test drive, I'll wait for your review.

Here are some testimonials from the site:

“I have always had a problem with mixing protein drinks. Either the stuff would never mix right, and/or it would somehow leak out of the blender/shaker...plus, I could never expect a lid to fit tight and stay tight while carrying the bottle somewhere. I would never have imagined how well something this SIMPLE could work so well!!!! Easy to clean, carry, and drink from too! Thanks for the reviews everyone. You all convinced me to try them, and I LOVE ''EM!”

Best I've Found (Scott, NC)
"This is the first shaker bottle that works! The lid stays tight and does not leak. The wire ball mixes my shakes very thoroughly. The cap stays in place and snaps shut so you know where it is and when it is closed. The mouth to the bottle and the bottle are both large enough to handle large quantities. I might just buy another set.... "

A Kitchen Necessity (Lucy, FL)
“A must have in every kitchen because anything you put into them gets mixed thoroughly and they don't leak. They're great for my homemade salad dressings. I've mixed batter and puddings and everything comes out smooth. No lumps ever!”

Quality Supreme (Dru, AZ)
“Durable plastic holds up fabulously well in dishwasher and the color does not fade. The lid screws on perfectly and there are no leaks!! Mixing is so easy. This product is well engineered. All details were thought out before this product hit the market. I just can't think of anything that needs improving! I'm sure I'll order the smaller size . . . !”

Best Shaker Bottle I've Found (Geri, VA)
“I've tried several similar products and they either leak or don't pour smoothly. Some don't mix very well. My protein powders mix superbly in this bottle and I've not had a leak yet! The top is easy pour and bottle is the perfect size. I would highly recommend them.”

Perfect for the gym (Pierre-Alexander, NY)
"Over the past half-dozen years, I'd gone through a fair number of shaker bottles, but they’d all started leaking after a few weeks, if not sooner. Nothing such with the blender bottle I now use daily, including at the gym. I'd checked this item out after reading about it on two different bodybuilding forums; it was mainly vaunted for its being leak-free, but I also remember claims that protein powders mixed with it tasted better than the same powders mixed with the usual shaker bottle... and it's true, though it's certainly more a question of smoother texture than actual taste. Someone also compared the flip top to a German car door, because it stays securely shut even when you shake the bottle. Finally, the blender bottle is rather easy to wash, even by hand, and while I was afraid that the little wire ball would be noisy should the bottle be shaken while nearly empty, it hasn't proven to be a problem."

Blender Bottle beyond expectation! (Judy, NY)
"I use protein powder and have never seen it blended this well without an electric blender!! Takes a minute to blend with either water or low fat milk, and you have a frothy, healthy protein shake! My husband used it to blend eggs for an omelet, and it was so fluffy, not like when you beat the eggs with a fork! I don't know how I lived without these blender bottles! Oh, and cleanup is a snap!!!"

Only ones that work! (Susan, WI)
"I have purchased just about every shaker, mixer, magic blender wand, etc. that's been on the market over the last 5 years. These bottles are the first thing that works, in particular for protein shakes. They not only mix well, they don't leak and don't break. I've been using them for about 6 months so they've had a workout. I'm ordering [more]!"

Good stuff fellas, I'll get to work..

Im gonna second the Blender Bottle. I have about a dozen on hand. NO JOKE I've tried them all. This one is by far the best, period.

I have to agree about the Blender Bottle, but get it the small and large sizes.

Its comes in a 20oz or 28 oz. Let me know which one you like. I got a sample coming in to me probably next week. After that its gonna be 60 days to come in with PF logo on it.

Never heard of the blender bottle.
Sounds real convenient. I wouldn't mind trying one in the 28oz.

I just went to there web sight. Looks solid. Definetly a must try.
I think you may have a winner there Alex.
