Fressko Move vs Core: stainless or glass
Last reviewed 1970-01-01
Should I buy the Fressko Move or the Fressko Core?
Buy the Fressko Move 500ml if the bottle leaves the house and the Fressko Core 300ml glass bottle if it lives on a desk. Insulated stainless is the only one of the two that holds temperature and survives a bag; glass carries no flavour between tea and water and lets you see an infusion, which matters most when the bottle never moves.
EvidenceMove 500ml 90/100, Core 300ml 84/100. The Core is marked down for no insulation and glass fragility and takes top marks for flavour neutrality and cleanability — the two things that decide a desk bottle.

Every product carries one 0–100 overall score built from the same six sub-scores: seal integrity, thermal performance, cleanability, materials safety, repairability and cost per year of ownership. Category-specific weightings are published on each product page.
The Reusable Edit is independent and takes no payment for coverage. Outbound retail links are affiliate-tracked; commissions never change a score or a ranking.
Related questions
- Is glass safe for hot tea?
- Borosilicate glass is made for thermal shock and is the standard for tea vessels. Use the supplied sleeve and avoid pouring boiling water into a bottle straight out of the fridge.
- Does the Core keep tea hot?
- No. Uninsulated glass holds tea hot for around twenty minutes, which is fine at a desk where you drink as you work and poor for anything carried.
