Glass
Glass is rigid, easy to inspect visually and resistant to retaining flavors, but it is heavier and can break.
Plastic
Reusable plastic bottles can be lightweight and durable. Follow the manufacturer’s use and cleaning instructions, replace damaged bottles, and avoid heat exposure beyond the product’s rating.
The best material is the one that fits the routine
Cleanability, portability and likelihood of regular use should drive the choice.
