I use a wide mouth glass mason jar with a solid lid instead of the canning-style two piece lid and band.

It's easy to clean and easy to tell if it is clean (unlike stainless steel).

You can hand wash it depending on hand size or use a bottle brush. You can put it in the dishwasher.

There is no paint to peel, nothing to dent. You can get them in 16oz, 24oz, 32oz, or more.

It costs about $3 per bottle/cap combo. You may end up with extra lids though. The best lids I've found are the Ball brand leak proof plastic lids sold in a six pack for $6-$10.

Stainless solid lids can be found as well but there will be some kind of rubber or silicone gasket piece as well which is just one more piece to clean and can get manky.

Technically they are breakable from a sharp impact but the jars are designed to hold at vacuum pressure for years and I haven't broken one yet. You could probably make or buy a sleeve to protect it even further. But, if the glass does crack or break you can recycle it and replace it for about $1.

My S'well 16 oz travel mug is wide mouth, steel and double layer insulated. Cleans easy enough and I got it on sale. I know S'well is expensive, but they do last forever.

If you want to upcycle and super easy cleaning, get a protective cover and drinking lid for a wide mouth mason jar.

But bottle brushes! I bought a set for not much on Amazon, and they clean everything. If something looks stained or dodgy I put a denture cleaner tab in overnight.
