What are the best brands for a stainless steel bottle water?

What kind or brand of water bottle/thermos should I buy?

  • I want to buy a water bottle/thermos, but am not sure what is the best kind to buy. I'm primarily interested in using it in the winter for hot liquids (hence the new question - appears that MeFites previously had other requirements). It looks like there are stainless steel ones, glass ones, and potentially other types. Any thoughs about which material would be best, or recommendations about particular brands/bottles that have worked well for you? I would prefer something very easy to clean (wide mouth?), very portable (I'll be using it when on the road for research trips), that keeps liquid warm for as long as possible (ditto), and as reasonably priced as possible. Something available on Amazon Prime would be a plus! I've been given http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007XXPHGO/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/, but I've never had a glass bottle before and I'm not sure I trust glass with hot liquids on a series of bumpy buses and in luggage. Thoughts?

  • Answer:

    No no no no no. What you want, nay, NEED, is a http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005PO9T6M/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ I once kept coffee in it for 14 hours, after which is was still just a touch too hot to drink. It is the king of all insulated bottles and you should be ashamed to be seen with anything lesser. And everything else is lesser.

You want a thermos. I have several and they fit all your criteria. Most importantly, the lid completely disassembles for cleaning, including all the gaskets and stuff. I like http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002PY7AYS/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ a lot. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0039SLSUQ/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ is my day-to-day one. I also have http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0039SLSU6/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0039SLSU6/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ is one of the best rated ones on amazon. I've never used it, but having used other thermos brand and am impressed at how warm they will keep liquids.

Oh, and the other thing I love about the insulated Kleen Kanteen is that the lid screws on tightly so it's virtually spillproof when closed. It's not spillproof while drinking like the (also amazing) Contigo Autoseal mugs are, but I recommended the Klean Kanteen over the Contigo Autoseal because you wanted something easy to clean, which the Autoseal is NOT, especially if you drink milk-based beverages from it.

A 20-ounce insulated Kleen Kanteen should be perfect. It's got a wide mouth for easy cleaning (and easy pouring-stuff-into), it fits into all water bottle pockets, holders, and receptacles I've tried it in, and it keeps liquids hot/cold for a ridiculous amount of time--I've found ice from my boyfriend's morning iced coffee intact over 24 hours later. And I've found the 20-ounce capacity to be perfect for hour-long commutes.

The insulated Kleen Kanteen is pretty great. it's a lot smaller than the Stanley bottles if that's an issue (I can fit mine in my bike water bottle cage.)

Nissan are the best - stainless steel, hold heat well and clean up easily. Also very durable. I've lost a couple over the years, but never put a dent in one.

I always recommend the classic http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0017IHRNM/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ if heat retention is important. They make it in different sizes to suit your needs and it is available on Amazon Prime.

Klean Kanteen insulated - I take my 16oz container to work every day - three ice cubes and fill up with water and I still have ice cubes after 14 hours. This is one thing I have found that is worth the price. Keeps things hot or cold.
