Great concept! Compact, neat and clean
These lids are such a great concept! Can be used for KEFIR, and other fermenting projects. The lid is both an airlock lid, and also a strainer! The airlock part of this lid is a two-part lid, the top part is elevated up to allow airflow while sitting above the strainer lid. At first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but I really like the concept, Solves the challenges of the airlock lids with the high-rise attachment. It would be nice to lower the price a little bit because the competition is just to pour through a mesh strainer (not ideal to touch metal), or one of those nine dollar plastic strainers (they don’t work very well, not enough holes so it stops straining quickly). However, this concept is really worth it. It’s fits normally on the shelf with a flat two-piece lid, doesn’t allow floaters into your fermentation, allows airflow. The lid strainer actually works very well because there’s a lot of holes, air can flow through some of the holes while you’re also straining kefir or liquids.

Exellent product and great price.
I purchased these lids when starting to make my own kefir. They are easy to use and work so well I don't need to use a strainer to separate the kefir from the grains. I also like the fact that they come in a package of two lids of different colors so I can tell which is the current batch in process and which is the already processed batch of kefir.

I. Love. These.
I wasn't sure what to expect with these, but I purchased them because I wanted to give water kefir another try. I've tried other tops for Mason jars and some have been great and others filled me with regret. These are amazing. A few years ago my attempt at water kefir ended early after a disastrous explosion in my pantry. I haven't had the heart to try again, but then I saw these and they seemed promising. What could be better than something that makes the process so simple and uses fewer tools? I'll tell you. Nothing. I have been successfully using these for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not looking back. I'll admit to having a lack of motivation when it comes to the process of making this stuff. Find the plastic utensils, get clean jars, find the plastic sieve... Ugh. No more. Pop these on, wait, take off the lid, pour off the kefir, dump into a new jar, add new liquid, pop on a new top... So simple. My kefir is so active I have needed to charge more often and it's MUCH nicer with these lids. They go into the dishwasher, they screw on and off easily. So simple. So easy. I'm really glad I found these because I'd probably still be contemplating trying kefir again instead of making it.

An actual strainer works better for milk kefir
They don't really strain milk kefir. They're nice as lids but you're better off with a regular lid at that point.When I used one for the first time, I couldn't get the kefir out. The whey drained however.I suspect they're really great for water kefir but I've never fermented that.

It's ok
It works ok, more convenient than using a fine mesh strainer. However, the holes are WAY too small for milk kefir so it takes a long time to strain. I still use it for convenience.
