is that a straw coming out of the unit?

No, but it does look like one! The filter has a smaller flow of water, about the diameter of a small straw or thin pencil. The unfiltered flow is about your normal faucet flow and comes from the chrome to the left of the filter in this illustration. The filtered flow is smaller. It takes me about 4 minutes to fill a plastic gallon jug from the filter. 4 minutes in the house, not going to the store for a gallon of water. I try to fill a few jugs when I have time, a couple in the fridge and a couple to store for pet water bowls, plant watering, and any other needs for filtered water. Good luck!

It has been a while since I've used them but yes. Although you may have to trim the straw a bit.

The one I have doesn't come with a straw inside...it has a plastic/rubber stopper to ensure it doesn't leak everywhere, but no internal straw.

Yes, you can take the straw holder off. However, when you do so, the little knob on top will not have anything to hold it on. Perhaps a little super glue would help. Then, you could have the piece removed but still have your knob to pick up the lid.

Yes, there is a hard plastic straw inside that attaches to the soft silicone piece that is connected to the lid and which forms the "straw" from which one would drink.

It does come apart but takes a little bit of effort. You can even replace the straw when it gets worn out.

I don't know about that. Mine didn't work well and we eventually tossed it. (Darn! Wish I'd kept the straw for you!)

I can' t imagine any straw going in here. Its solid plastic and they cut a diamond shape into it to sip from. I can't get a straw in.

No, there is no straw. Just a little flippy-top lid. You could flip open the lid, and use a straw, but it would have to be a pretty long one!

It is. The filter slides out toward the right side of the unit, opposite of the controls. Hope this helps you out.

The straw separates into 2 & the part in the lid can be pulled out & put back in after cleaning.

No I'm sorry you can not get a straw through the opening, it is more of a slit on top rather then a hole as an opening ~ Trish

No-and I sent it back. The seller should specify. Is anyone able to find the 6oz cup replacement straws?

Yes, it has the silicone straw that get squished when you close the lid. The whole silicone piece can be removed and washed.

There is a plastic straw and insert inside that is not meant to interact with hot liquids

Though the opening is more for sipping, the hard plastic straw you speak of does fit in the hole.
