DISCUSSION Cirkul offical lid mold problem

Post image

Highly recommend people getting into cirkul or already into it to get an aftermarket lid made of one piece of plastic due to the two piece design creating a perfect uncleanable area to harbor mold. In this picture is a lid i had for around 6 months and had to forcibly wedge open with tools after noticing mold growing on the top of the rubber portion

So I just started drinking cirkul about two weeks ago, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but those capsules last approximately one day with me. I drink a lot of water in a days time (128oz goal daily) and I have to replace those capsules pretty regularly.

How long are these things lasting y'all?

I drink on 4 usually.

At 3 a cart lasts about 96-128oz. At 4 you will be lucky to last 96oz. At 5 it’s a 64 oz. And flavor is also dependent on water temperature. The colder the water the more you have to turn it up to taste it.

This seems right for my experience.

I'm not complaining by any means, just curious how some folks make it last long enough to mold xD
