I know heinz make a cup which has a lid which has 3 attachments to it: a spout , then another lid which covers the whole top of the cup and then has a small hole on the side for the liquid to come out and then once they are old enough you can then put the 3rd contraption on which gives the cup a lip so it's like a normal cup - maybe give that a try. I'm not sure how to get rid of the bottle as I swapped from a bottle to a cup with a straw or the pidgeon cups on Mackenzie's 1st birthday - I just had it in my head that when she was one the bottles would go - don't know why I just did. I guess she was too young to protest too much and I just cuddled her to drink out of her cup when she would normally have had her bottles - she loved cuddling when she was having her night and morning drinks so it was easy for me. You could try all different cups but I would give the NUK drink cups with the hard spouts a miss, even I struggled to get anything out of them you had to suck so hard.
