For the $3.82 we spent for this here on Amazon, what a well made, functional brush!! This brush is so good, we purchased a second. Compared to other brushes out there for more $$, it is a bargain.
I use it for many things, but mainly as a bottle brush for the following - a Zojirushi Thermal Carafe, two 1 qt Thermos's, a Zojirushi Tuff Slim and Stainless mug, to clean the inside of my Freilng French Press, and more. This a great brush for basically any container, carafe, vase, etc that you cannot get your mitts inside to clean! We got two because the one brush that is used for coffee vessels does not get used for other containers - it is dedicated to coffee vessels.
The bristles are not overly stiff, not are they overly soft - they are just right for what we use it for. They bristles have enough staying power to remove any crud, but not too stiff so it does not miss spots. Likewise, the bristles are not too soft that they can't remove the crud - they are just right.
***NOTE - if your bottle / container opening is less than 1 1/4" wide, look elsewhere. For instance, this does not fit into the top of our small mouthed Nalgene bottles, which are closer to 1". For that, we use the OXO Bottle Brush, which works great for that.
Also note, this brush is not overly long as it is made for baby bottles. I have other brushes to complement as mentioned, especially when the container is deep. I reach for this brush first, then finish up with the longer brushes where it is required.
My wife uses it for her Camelback bottle, her Zojirushi Cool Bottle, her vases, and other vessels around the kitchen. Like me, she likes the construction and optimal stiffness of the bristles...
You could spend a lot more and get a lot less... for under $4 it is hard to go wrong with this brush. This makes a nice complement to our OXO Bottle brush, and our Bürstenhaus Redecker 13.6-inch Soft Horsehair Bottle Brush... with these three tools, there is not many bottles, vases, containers or vessels we can't clean.
Oh, and of course it works well for baby bottles!! (which we don't need now that my sons are 14).
Five stars all the way!
Thanks for reading!
