These are beautiful to look at and keep water very cold...the lids prevent leakage when we store them in a beverage cooler stacked on their sides.We run a non-profit coffeehouse that provides free meals throughout the week for guests in the community. We can't have people coming to the refrigerator that is behind the cooking/serving area, so someone always had to go to get water for whomever asked. That was time consuming and hard on people who finally got a chance to rest after cooking and serving for hours.So the obvious solution was to get a small glass doored beverage refrigerator for self service. We were buying unnecessarily costly bottled water but decided to get the chilled 5 gallon dispensers instead and refill these bottles after sanitizing them. Much more convenient and cost effective. The diners love the very cold temps that last much longer than chilled water in a standard plastic bottle. It cuts down on our recycling build up also.
