Halm Glass Straws - 6x Reusable 8 inch Drinking Straws clear + Plastic-Free Cleaning Brush - Made in Germany - Dishwasher Safe - Straight - Perfect for Smoothies, Cocktails

I love these glass straws! They’re not only aesthetically pleasing, but they also feel great to use—smooth, sturdy, and just the right size. They elevate the look of any drink and are a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Super easy to clean and surprisingly durable. I use them daily and couldn’t be happier with the quality!

These feel sturdy and of high quality. They're a little wider than ideal for me, but they still work. I had wanted a 6-7mm straw for iced tea, but most seem to be at least 8mm. This one still works for iced tea but also smoothies that are not too heavy.

These straws are fantastic! I have had them for a couple of months now and they are easy to clean and well made. They are wonderful for my daily smoothie and the length is perfect for a tall glass. Being able to stir a separated drink is also nice using glass instead of a plastic drinking straw that bends. I use mine at home and out and about. I had never used a straw for a hot drink until this purchase and found that they are pleasant to use with my favorite hot coffee and so much nicer than plastic, paper, or stainless. I prefer to wash them by hand and have accidentally dropped them in the bottom of a stainless steel sink, against pottery, plates and pans...and had no breakage. I just broke one when I launched it through the air and it fell on my tile floor. Just the end chipped so these are surprisingly sturdy. I'm quite klutzy so may need to buy more at some point for myself and I would certainly purchase these for gifting.

I was looking for straws to use for cocktails but didn't want metal; so many of the metal straws I found were not real stainless and I don't want pieces of plating coming off while I drink. I also found a lot of glass straws which have a very wide inside diameter, which means my bloody mary will last for about two swigs. These are the perfect diameter, are very well crafted, and are pretty durable. Granted, I dropped one on a tile floor and it did break, but any type of glass would do that. They don't feel delicate and I don't worry about them breaking when I use them. They've come clean easily in the dishwasher and the small bristle brush that comes with them is a nice addition for cleaning.

I have gotten glass straws before and I loved them, so I ordered these, but they are oddly larger in diameter than the other straws. But they are great and great quality

I bought these after I had my teeth whitened, so I could drink my coffee without staining my teeth. It was also important to me not to use plastic with all the chemicals that the heat from the coffee would release . Glass seemed the best option . It really is quite pleasant, and they work great. They're very strong, and you just dropped them in with the silverware in the dishwasher and they come out clean every single time.

Using a glass straw feels different and takes some getting used to. But I was determined to try a set (mostly for cocktails) and when looking for a reputable vendor I chose these straws made in Germany by a company who truly cares about the environment (their factory is solar powered) and who can blend design and function perfectly. If you're considering a glass straw, try these out. Like me, I think you'll be more than satisfied. :-)

Finally I don't have to suck in liquids through plastic! The glass straws work fine. They're a bit thicker than plastic or paper, but I like them anyway.
