Dakoufish Reusable Replacement Drinking Starbucks Reviews Summary

Straw Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Comes with a brush to clean each straw. Exactly what I was looking for."
• "Very nice straws that includes a cleaning brush to clean them out. Quick delivery and great price, no more collapsed straws when drinking thick milkshakes !!"
• "I like how the straw isn't 'sharp' like some you find, with the cut edges being more rounded if that makes sense."
• "They help save the earth because they’re re-usable."
• "These are really well made. I would suggest these to anyone looking for good reusable straws."
• "These straws are great in every way! They are strong and sturdy."
• "I prefer the clear reusable straws so that your can visually see that the inside of the straw is clean. These are very durable and easy to keep clean."

Cons:

• "These straws are much longer than I prefer for tumblers."
• "However, my straws warped after putting them in the dishwasher and are permanently deformed now."
• "I am disappointed, I am not sure if it is inferior quality or a change in the materials. Either way, I am not impressed."
• "I ordered them Friday, received them on Sunday and already broke 1 by Monday."
• "This product arrived with 4 of the 12 pieces broken. Obviously the strength of the straws is not very good."
• "These were horrible. The quality was weak. They say dishwasher safe. They weren’t hot water safe let alone dishwasher."
• "These straws get more brittle over time. They also completely warp if you put them one time in the dishwasher."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "I like that they are clear, tall, and sturdy."
• "Many reusable straws out there are too thick and/or too short for my straw cups. These are EXACTLY what I've needed."
• "It's great that you can choose the length of the straws and they look so aesthically-pleasing in drinks."
• "The straw that came with my water tumbler and this was a perfect replacement. Nice and tall. Good quality and cleans up great. Very happy with this purchase."
• "I love that it’s see through so I can clean it good and dry it well before I put to the drawer - this way it’s 100% clean and dry so i don’t need to worry about mold."
• "I absolutely love these straws!!! They are very durable, hard plastic and very easy to clean with the brush that comes with it."
• "These straws are the perfect replacements for the 24 oz reusable Starbucks cups. They are also durable for those who like to bite their straws and comes with 12 in the box."

Cons:

• "I like the length for my tall cups. A bit of a pain to clean since you can NOT clean in dishwasher as the straw will melt."
• "The straw is quite long, even for our large Yeti’s and because of that, we have broke several straws while our Yeti is in the cup holder of our car."
• "Great straws, just a little long, I should have ordered the shorter ones."
• "Straws are nice and long, perfect for the really large Starbucks reusable cups. They are very hard and hurt your teeth if you accidentally bite the straw (no flexibility at all)."
• "11” was a little too long for what I was looking for but that was my fault for not measuring."
• "Although these straws are durable and easily cleaned with the enclosed brush, their rigidity is their downfall....they have absolutely no flexibility,,I do not recommend these straws to anyone,,,,,they will hurt you...pass this one up."
• "The only not-perfect thing (downside seems too strong a term) is they’re a little long."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "They help save the earth because they’re re-usable."
• "I originally purchased these because I have a few tumblers that are missing straws but I actually really love these. I also wanted to make a change for the environment."
• "Because I'm trying to leave a smaller carbon footprint I was looking for reusable straws."
• "I love these straws. I feel like a tree hugging hippie with all the disposable straws I'm NOT using."
• "Love my replacement straws! They are the perfect size, easy to clean and I love knowing that I am helping with our environment!"
• "Love these! Exactly what I was looking for. I bought these in order to reduce my waste."
• "These are perfect, saving the environment 1 drink at a time!"

Cons:

• "These straws are horrible can’t put them in the dishwasher they just totally become disfigured and then you can’t use them as a strong very unhappy with this order."
• "They're made out of a clear hard plastic... no plastic isn't great for the environment but I figure I'll drink more water having a straw verse not having one."
• "Not sure what material this is actually made of, since Tritan is supposed to have a pretty high glass transition temp - which means that the ~210F/100C conditions of the dishwasher shouldn't melt it."
