It mostly works
I really wanted these to work. There isn't a whole lot of options for single-serving protein powder dispensers that fit into a normal water bottle.<br /><br />It *only* works decently well with Gold Standard powder (It must be a powder that doesn't clump *at all*. Think really really dry sand versus just slightly damp sand consistency. You need the really dry sand consistency).<br /><br />Nothing about this is special. Their venting technology is just simply unscrewing the cap. Doing this (see below) for most of the powders actually makes a mess, so I would suggest never opening the top when using. These are also very hard to hold on to when dumping them into your water bottle if your hands are sweaty or the least bit wet.<br /><br />I tested this against 4 protein powders: Combat, Gold Standard, CytoSport and Orgain Organic.<br /><br />Once you have filled the funnels, you turn them upside down and remove the small cap. Then put it straight onto an open water bottle. In theory, you would unscrew the large cap and the powder would slide into the bottle. This doesn't really work. If you unscrew the large lid a little bit, you will end up getting powder everywhere because you'll have to tap on the funnel to get all the powder in your water bottle. The tapping causes powder to escape the top where you loosened it and now you have giant mess.<br /><br />How to actually use:<br />1. Fill the funnel, screw on the large cap.<br />2. Turn over (small cap facing up) and remove the small cap.<br />3. Place the small end in your water bottle<br />4. Keep the large cap screwed tight<br />5. Tap the top 10-20 times to get the protein out of the funnel into your water bottle<br /><br />Do you look odd at the gym doing this? A bit.<br />Is this the best I could find after hours of searching? Yes.<br />Are they a bit over-priced for being a piece of plastic? Probably, but there aren't a lot of options either.<br /><br />Edit: After a couple months of using these, I'll say that the convenience out weighs the need to tap the top to have the powder come out.
