Brita Insulated Filtered Water Bottle with Straw, Christmas Gift and Stocking Stuffer For Men and Women, Reusable, Stainless Steel Metal, Ruby, 32 Ounce

[6 mo. UPDATE] 6 months later, the bottle is still perfect! I briefly experienced the issue that some other reviewers mentioned, which was having to use way too much suction to get the water through the straw. This issue appeared 3 months into my using the bottle. Then, I realized that I was 1 month overdue in changing my filter! When I changed the filter, the suction returned to completely normal and effortless. I don't know if something happens with the filter that makes the suction different or if the filter had just moved around in there and made suction difficult. However, I have not had the issue again and have since changed my filter at the recommended 2-month intervals. I have had 0 real issues with this bottle. I also had no issues with the 24 oz. non-insulated, plastic version of this bottle which I had for about a year prior to buying this steel version. ---- This bottle is PERFECT! I originally had the plastic, translucent 24 oz. Brita bottle which was great, but I was refilling it so often that I wanted a larger one. I saw this one and read that it was insulated which made it a definite plus! This bottle/filter definitely makes even the grossest water (aka hospital water) drinkable and tasty. The mouth on this one seems slightly larger than the 24 oz. because I don’t drop as many ice cubes when putting the bottle under the dispenser. Not only is this insulated, but it doesn’t sweat! The plastic one does sweat and leaves water rings on tables. This steel one keeps my ice perfectly in place for about 3 hours but keeps my water cold for about 7 hours (at this point, there’s still ice left, but just less of it) and keeps it cool for about 3 more hours. I have had 0 (ZERO) issues drinking from the bottle. Someone else mentioned that if you are having difficulty drinking from it, it’s likely because you haven’t twisted the straw in (as directed on the wide end of the straw). If the water gets extremely low, with like 1 sip remaining, you do have to keep the bottle leveled to be able to drink that sip. The only issue I have with this bottle is so far not seeing a fill line. The fill line in the plastic one is obvious and you can see exactly to where you’re filling the bottle. I have yet to see a fill line in this steel one so I’m not certain how to get the most water in there without overflowing. I just eyeball it. Someone also mentioned the top of the bottle being in the way of their nose… but you can literally extend the top back a full 180°; there’s no way anyone’s nose is that big to be in the way — your nose would have to hook downwards to the level of your lower lip. I’ll try to post pictures later.

Im a researcher and the reviews on the top had me skeptical. Take a straw cleaner with soap and bleach to clean the top. I also found that the tip of the filter tends to get dirty, take out and rinse off to prevent mold or the charcoal from the filter from being settled in the top. I clean bottle and top every other week to prevent build up. Great for filtering. I use it all the time especially when traveling. Definitely recommend. Easy to carry, 32 ounces may be pushing it due to having to account for the weight of the straw being inserted, you cant fill to the top. Color is cute and true. Keeps water cold, never tried hot liquid inside.

My smaller one broke so I got this one on sale. These will forever be my favorite water bottles and I love that no matter where I fill up, the water tastes the same through the filter. Gorgeous color, and well worth the money! Easy to use, durable, no smell. This is quite large for my small girly hands so I’ve dropped it a couple times and it’s held up well! The handle definitely comes in handy for carrying but I may look for some grips to add.

We are a water drinking family and have clean spring-fed water at home. But my teenagers are spoiled and think city water (or any water not from home) tastes bad. We tried the plastic filtered Britta last year for vacation to Europe and it worked so good! The water tasted clean no matter where we filled up...and that's a relief because buying water in Spain was expensive! It was just warm. I happened to find this insulated stainless steel option and VOILA - dream come true! Now water even stays cold! This is probably the best water bottle I've ever bought (and I'm embarrassed to say how many I've bought over the years for our family of 4!) And the rose color - all the kids at school are asking. I was able to find lots of places to buy replacement filters at a reasonable price. Personally, I wouldn't get anything smaller than the 32 oz. I'm super happy with this purchase!

It's a good water bottle that serves its purpose. The water is hard to pull up sometimes, but I am satisfied with the purchase overall.

Awesome, had to buy one for my girlfriend. Keeps things cold for a very long time, as into the next day. Saves $ and plastic bottles from being used by making tap water drinkable with a noticeable difference in taste. Easy to clean with inexpensive replacement filters. If I lose mine I will immediately order a new one.

Brought this to Costa Rica for a week and it kept water cold and ice from melting 10/10

I thought this bottle was very beautiful and a great size, and leak proof. The only downside is that the taste of the water didn’t change much after passing through the filter (even after rinsing for a long time, still no change). Unfortunately I had to return it due to the heavy tap water taste coming through the straw. I also did a ph and impurities test before and after and there wasn’t much noticeable change. (Maybe it was a defective batch? Not sure. Other reviews suggest otherwise, so I’m still on the look out for a good filter water bottle.)
