I currently have a water bottle I've had for like almost 4 years now. It's a double walled stainless steel. Only use it for water no flavorings. It's starting to taste like metal. In my googling I see there's 2 common options of ceramic lined or titanium. My main criteria for a water bottle is it needs a straw and needs a cover over the spout because I have cats and I don't want their hair sticking to the spout lol. I use my bottle all day in my house and also while out so a clean spout is a must. If you have recommendations please let me know.

I bought this coconut water, and when I poured it into an ice tray, I started seeing all of these stringy, fibrous-looking particles. Since it says it's pink coconut and they are kind of dark red, I'm thinking it's part of the coconut, but it looks kind of gross. I'm not sure if it's safe to drink. Can someone help me???

I think all of you homies should watch this, although exclusive to the USA, it's a wonderfully crafted video about how different scenarios affect the taste of water.

I have seen gyms installing hydrogen water machines where people refill their bottles after workouts, but most explanations seem to stop at antioxidants.
What exactly is hydrogen water? Is it just regular water with dissolved hydrogen gas? How is that different from the hydrogen already in H₂O, and is there any solid evidence that drinking it offers real benefits, or is it mostly another gym trend?

Hello all. I've had my Iron Flask for over 5 years now, and I'll be honest, I haven't cleaned it as often as I wanted, but I used it regularly and thought it was fine. But last week I noticed this little silicone stopper was disgusting, and attempted to clean it with a cheap straw cleaner, soaking it in hot water/vinegar, and trying dawn power wash, but these two little bits won't go away. Should I just trash this and get a new one? I don't wanna have to do that, given i have plenty of stickers on my bottle I don't want going to waste 😭

My mind has been blown

I've always had a taste in water whether its minerals, chlorine, or dirt, I can taste it in the water. Everyone around me thinks im crazy. I know what im tasting.

I threw out my old brita filter and got the 2 pack elite for 30 bucks.

Im currently drinking air. Its insane. There is NO taste. How is this even possible?! I live in a area with an absurd amount of hard water, no dirt taste now. Im curious how it will be back home where the water is heavily filtrated with chlorine.

I'm looking for something that has:

• Chug style (I don't care for straws)
• Fast flow (needs to let air in as you chug)
• Doesn't leak
• All or mostly metal
• Not completely open like a Nalgene (I tend to spill these all over myself when chugging)
• No Stanley type handle designs

Help me HydroHomies!

There's about a billion water bottle brands out there now

Hi hydro homies
Hope everyone’s had a hydrated Monday

I come writing to you mourning the loss of my second glass water bottle in under 2 months. Cause of death: accidentally smacked a wall while turning a corner.

I need recommendations y’all. I don’t want plastic and I’d rather not do stainless steel because I’m sensitive to the taste of metal and every metal bottle I’ve had tasted like metal to me. But these glass bottles on amazon I’ve been using are thin and break easy and I am clumsy and I’d rather not keep buying a new bottle every month.

Maybe it’s time to try a steel one again? Maybe they’ve gotten less metallic tasting in the 10 years since I last tried one? Maybe there’s a secret third option I’m unaware of? Or maybe a better brand that has thick glass that can handle a few wall taps.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

So id drink 1 to 2 liters a day ans my urine would still be yelowish,and once i hit a beer after work my urine becomes transparent like water ,why is this happening lol?

For the last few months I have been drinking from disposable bottles because I tend to forget to clean a reusable one. Well, I’m feeling a wave of responsibleness and want to give reusable another go.

I need something that holds a liter or more and can easily be cleaned by hand. I have bigger hands, so something wide. Also the lid needs to be easy to clean, no little crevices that require a little brush. I also don’t want a straw, but that’s not a deal breaker. A metal bottle is preferred.

Thanks homies!!

Included photo is my water filter setup for car camping. I use a Sawyer filter, sun shower for dirty water, and a water cube for the now potable water. I also use the Sawyer filter while backpacking where I have a dirty bottle and a clean bottle. Yay water!

Have you ever heard of people choosing hot water instead of coffee or tea? When I first found out that Kyrgyz people drink hot water as a regular drink, I was honestly shocked. It was something that had never crossed my mind. And my Kyrgyz friend was equally astonished to discover that I had never tried it.
Drinking hot water is simply a habit for many people. It’s just tea without tea or coffee without coffee.
She also told me that people consider it healthy. Hot water can be relaxing and is an easy way to stay hydrated without sugar or caffeine.
We often believe that the things we do every day are normal everywhere, but this conversation showed me how much our habits can differ across cultures.
In the end, I discovered that hot water is not as boring as I thought. And who knows—maybe one day when someone asks me whether I’d like coffee or tea, I will simply answer:,,Neither, just hot water."

I need to be more hydrated so I want to buy a proper bottle.

UK please and under 20

I usually wash mine with dawn and hot water every Friday. But the last time i did it made my water taste like soap. Google suggested I soak it in baking soda and hot water and that didn’t help either. I’m going to try soaking it with a mix of hot water and vinegar hopefully that works

Had an old neighbour that worked for Evian. These were to celebrate new years in 1998! There is some weird stringy stuff in the bottle. Don’t think I’ll be drinking this one.

the filter is almost 2 years old (was left in its package) — wondering if it’s a problem with the jug or the filters?

We’ve been a Brumate household for years but after a combo of issues with their warranty and getting blocked on Instagram for saying I hope the new drop isn’t brown because I want a new cup but I’m over all the brown I think I’m done.

I originally started getting Brumates because I like dishwasher safe with a straw that doesn’t leak but now I’m seeing all the brands have a leakproof dishwasher safe and I can’t decide what to get!

Does anyone have any strong preferences for their emotional water tumbler brand or any reason they avoid a brand?
