Customers like the performance and seal of the bottle cap. For example, they mention that it works well, the little plastic insert helps seal the lid, and that the inner poly seal can be removed for easier cleaning. That said, opinions are mixed on quality, fit, value, ease of cleaning, and leakage.

Customers like the seal of the lab supply. They say it seals very well, has a little plastic insert that helps seal the lid, and the inner poly seal can be removed for easier cleaning.

Customers like the ease of removal of the lab supply. They say it screws on and off very quickly, seals the jug tightly, and is easy to grasp on and re-install. Some say the plastic insert is easily removed and the caps seem to thread on to the bottles well.

"...~~ NEW style GT bottles: Because the screw-threads are a little closer together and configured a bit differently than the previous style bottles,..." Read more
"...Growlers are not the best for long-term storage but awesome for a few days! We use it for Kombucha and holds better than beer does...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning. Some mention that it's easy to sanitize, washable, and reuse, while others say that it is almost impossible to clean, has liquid underneath it, and is unsanitary in the long run.

"...I tried that (it seemed great at first - a better fit and easier to clean, BUT it no longer had the correct seal and it will leak." Read more
Customers are mixed about the leakage of the lab supply. Some mention that it fits their growlers and does not leak, while others say that it leaks under the space in the cap and stays there. The fit is not properly, and liquid evaporating from the jugs.
"...the inner plastic piece traps the liquid underneath it so I never feel like it is clean...." Read more
"...of batches and the carbonation is totally contained - nothing can leak through the sides of these caps. I am now getting super fizzy (YUM!)..." Read more
"Water gets stuck behind the clear plastic underneath the cap, which is unsanitary in the long run because that can eventually grow mildew...." Read more
"...They do not seal very well and leak. Would suggest purchasing the metal caps with seal instead." Read more

~~ OLDER style GT bottles: These caps fit perfectly. I've made a number of batches and the carbonation is totally contained - nothing can leak through the sides of these caps. I am now getting super fizzy (YUM!) kombucha.
~~ NEW style GT bottles: Because the screw-threads are a little closer together and configured a bit differently than the previous style bottles, these poly-seal caps don't screw/tighten down as far as the caps that come with the bottles. HOWEVER, as long as you MAKE SURE to twist them on tight, making sure they are screwed down as far as they can go, they work great! I've had absolutely no loss of carbonation when using these on the new style bottles. The fizz factor is just the same as using these caps on the old style bottles.
So, I am very pleased and happy I tried them, as I have more of the new style bottles on hand than the old style.
**Remember: no matter what GT bottle you're using ... make sure to really tighten the caps after filling. You should then have great success with your 2nd ferment (if all other steps in the 2nd fermenting process are done properly).
UPDATE: 4/27/2017: After 9-months of using the same caps on the newer bottles I think I've had a good amount of experience with them. I still say these caps work well on the newer thread-style GT bottles almost all the time. Now you will find that the caps seem to not screw all the way down - this is due to the thread design. And after the 2nd fermentation is done, I will admit that sometimes a bottle isn't as fizzy as another. But I still have a few of the original thread-design bottles and sometimes one of those isn't as fizzy as the others (I put them in the frig after the 2nd brew as I make a number of bottles at a time). One kombucha brew can sometimes be more or less carbonated than the next as many "kombucha brewing experts" mention. But no matter what, I have always had some level of carbonation in all bottles with the newer thread-style after the 2nd brew.
**What I have found is what other's have posted on other sites ... it can help to turn the cap gently to the left to get it seated on the thread, and then screw it on tight.
But in a perfect world, I do wish a cap manufacturer would make caps that really fit the newer GT bottles. But the "GT" initials are embossed right into the glass on the bottom, so maybe Dave (Dave's GT) does have an exclusive on the thread design, and cap manufacturers aren't interested in catering to a very small percentage of those who are kombucha home brewers.
They fit all the standard GT and Kevita kombucha bottles (16oz and 64oz) as well as the generic 12oz bottles I bought on here! The caps didn’t break when I tightened them, I was even able to use a gripper to get an extra turn for that second ferment! I highly recommend these for any of your needs that require and air tight seal!!
Look no further, these are the ones you want!!

They seal OK and allow a moderate amount of fizz to build up in the brew.
However, the new style GT's bottles and re-using the new style bottle caps work VERY well.
We get incredible fizz build up re-using the new style bottle and caps.
(same brew, same batch, just different bottles used for second ferment)
Most of the new style bottles have a very noticeable pressure "dome" to the lid and are almost explosive to open. :)
You MUST open these outside, or in the kitchen sink if you don't want to be cleaning up a liquid mess.
I really enjoy the extra fizz.
10-21-2105 Update. These caps are still working well on my old style GT's bottles.
Again: these will NOT work on the new style GT's kombucha bottles.
I have tried to spread the word to sites like kombucha kamp but have been ignored.
09-29-2015 Received another order of 24 as my brewing expands.
Note: GT's Kobucha has changed their bottle design. These will NOT fit the new style GT's bottles.
The New GT's bottles have GT's embossed on the plastic cap
I tried to attach a photo.
New on the left, old on the right.
09-10-2015 Have used these for a couple batches of kombucha. They work very well on my old style GT's bottles,
08-19-2015 I just received 24 of these from Glass Bottle Outlet, fulfilled by Amazon.
Black plastic with cone shaped inner seal. They fit my old style GT Kombucha bottles perfectly.
The Amazon ad shows the black plastic 38mm Poly Seal caps.
However - when placing the order, and even now when leaving my review, the white metal caps are displayed in the thumbnail photo.
I took a chance and got the black plastic ones displayed on the Amazon page.
They appear to be well made and feel like they will seal better than reusing the original plastic GT bottle caps.
