Does the silicone lid stain and hold old flavors?Have you had to replace the lid?

If you get the white one you have to clean it scrupulously daily or it will have a very slight beige stain near the hole, not really noticeable. Get the black one if that's a concern.

Does the silicone lid stain? YES.Hold old flavors? YES -- and the flavor of the silicone.

I love this can. I had original for 6 years and just got the 2nd for recycling. I would say that maybe the staninless would be better than the plastic. My dog tried to chew open the plastic lid and it has left not-so-nice marks... would maybe be less apparent on the stainless.

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

I have had mine for a few months. So far it has held up nicely. I can see only one spot where it looks like the lid and the base rubbed up against each other. But the rest is looking very good.

I have not had this issue. I've had mine since September, I don't use it daily though. I have only hand washed. I have used it in the microwave. I do find that tomato sauces stain the finish slightly, but this is true of most plastics. I line the interior with a little parchment paper to prevent that.

Just checked the bottles we bought, didn't find a use by date, know we have older bottles in dark cool cupboard for 3 years. Haven't noticed any flavor change, but you can check with the Web site. www.torani.com hope that helps. Cheers

Yes the box I received about a week ago has grease spots on the inside lid... and missing pieces.

I've had mine since June of 2012, in the refrigerator every day, no problems with the lid at all. I hand wash it, keeping the lid clean requires a small stiff brush that can get into the grooves in the lid though. I don't microwave with the lid on, that might do something to the lid but I fill it with hot coffee every day...

I put mine through the dishwasher every so often and it comes out like new. I do use milk in both coffee and tea, hence little problem of staining.

I drank mine 2 years out of date and it didn't taste any different than a brand new jar. Keep the lid on it sealed tight, store it in a dry area and it should last years, literally.

The one I had did not. It was impossible to clean, trapped horrid goo inside that would come out in the first sip....YUK. Threw this item away.

My Universal lid with glass section is almost a year old. I have used it several times but it does not have any spots at all anywhere. It looks just as the day when I received. I have no idea why yours has the black spots you mentioned.

I've had mine for a couple of years and still looks normal and performs well. I'm thinking about replacing it simply because I don't want to use it and find out it's gone bad. (I keep it in the freezer which extends shelf life considerably.)

Sorry to hear about that, R. But it could be okay still. My pot has discolored also, and has what looks like bubbles in the finish on the inside bottom. It hasn't effected performance or taste. I would just clean it out good and try it...I'm sure you have by now. Let us know how it went.

I drank out of mine, however the seal in the lid of mine broke a month after using it.... So now it just sits on my shelf, wasting space.

Mine leaked and I called them, sent it back, got a replacement. I don't recall how long I'd had it, but it was well over a year, perhaps 2 years. Husband had bought it as a gift from Williams Sonoma and I called the company itself. And now I'm ready to give it away because the pops stick unless they're sugar bombs.

I just received a new one today from Amazon and the top does not seal at all. The lid fell off in the shipping box. Am returning it for replacement and hoping that the next one seals properly, otherwise I'll have to purchase it somewhere where I can test it before buying.
