STEP BACKWARDS
We have owned a 128 oz for several years and literally used it everyday. Most of the time it is bigger than we needed so we bought a 64 oz. We even talked about buying 2 so one could be in the teardrop camper and we would not forget or have to move it back and forth. So glad we did not waste our money. The lid attachment mechanism has 2 issues. 1) The wires that loop over the top are not aligned with the slots in the lid (with extra effort not needed on our 128 oz you can force them in line) 2) The wires that loop over the top are spring loaded to pop up so that when you pour they are in the pour stream and cause a mess (again this is not an issue on our old 128 oz.). I tried bending the wires to relieve the pop up pressure and then they just come off.
