Klean Kanteen27oz Kanteen Reflect (w/Stainless Unibody Bamboo Cap) Mirrored Stainless

If Apple made water bottles they'd probably look like this - basically the Klean Kanteen is a beautifully designed premium product! I'm a big fan of great design, and these bottles do look very elegant. They're certainly smart enough to carry to an important business meeting, and they sit equally well in your backpack side pocket on a walk in the hills.Klean Kanteen also has health benefits, because unlike a plastic container it will not leach any chemicals into your water. Things like pthalates are of growing concern these days as research continues to demonstrate how toxic they can be. Also, the more recycling of plastic there is, the less pure that plastic becomes! So stainless steel is a good option instead. It has the benefit of being tough, inert and lighter than a glass bottle.I really like this bottle - the mouth is wide, it's perfectly sized, it keeps my water pure, it's unbreakable and it looks cool too - right down to the bamboo top. The metal is fairly thin so will dent if you drop it on a hard surface, but this does help keep the weight down. Just treat it with respect and it will be fine. I quite fancy making a tan leather sleeve for mine when I have a moment. Altogether this bottle is just right for my needs -that's why I've just ordered my second one.

The general appearance and design of the canteen is very nice. It feels durable and well made, also the thin bamboo cap on top of the lid is quite a nice little touch. Apart from that, the only reason I decided to keep this canteen was because of it being free from toxins and plastic...BUT, when the canteen arrived and I had began to read the little information bookmark, and it said in small writing at the bottom, NO HOT LIQUIDS...The seller didn't state this firstly before buying, which is extremely deceptive. My main purpose for buying was for using this to boil water or drink a hot tea in, when out trekking or camping. For the price, there is nothing really special about this canteen, especially when it is limited to cool drinks alone.UPDATE: I recently purchased the Abataka Canteen which is near identical in ever way. No BPA, bamboo lid etc. Except it is double insulated unlike this Klean Canteen, Which means you can use hot or cold liquids and they stay that temperature up to 12 hours. I brought both canteens with me on a little outing, both contained chilled juice. It was roughly 27 degrees, so quite warm outside. Surprisingly the Abataka remained ice cold, whereas the Klean Canteen did not.I would suggest if you want this canteen, only insulated and for less money, get the Abataka canteen from amazon instead. This canteen is great, but it is certainly overpriced at £24, compared to the insulated Abataka at £19!

I have had this for months before reviewing and I am glad I bought this product. I used to drink from Aluminium bottles but this one is much better for health and structural reasons. You will notice that this bottle is heavier than some other cheaper stainless steel ones out there. This is simply because the wall thickness is greater, hence more metal and more weight. However it is therefore stronger than one made from equivalent material. You would need some force to dent this bottle. If weight is your main concern then I'd buy a cheaper alternative. This bottle is very well finished, the swing lid moves effortlessly on its hinges and the over elaborate lid just looks great. Perfect size me for also at 800ml.

I bought this on Tuesday, so two days ago, the eta was the 30/04/16 onwards and I got it today (28/04)! Excellent service. I've already started using it and I don't think I'll ever be going back to plastic bottles again, there's literally no need! It's lovely and lightweight, so it isn't a pain to carry around, and it's durable. Though I think I might have to invest in the sports top, so I can use it on the go a little easier.

I bought this as an alternative to my Sigg bottle. I use a drinks container nearly everyday and even though I rate my Sigg highly, I do seem to keep wearing out the lids!!!!The all stainless construction of the Reflect eliminates this worry!!!!!!I find it's the ideal capacity for my use and with the wide opening, it's very easy to refill as well......it looks great and feels like it will last a lifetime!!!If there is a negative point, it is probably the slight metallic taste due to no liner in the bottle. This may not be apparent if you drink squash etc, but it is noticeable with just water but not strong enough to make it unpleasant.I would certainly buy another,but doubt if I will ever have to replace this one!!!!!!

Metallic taste

It is a good quality and looks great.The only points to taken into account:- It may be obvious to most; due to metal on metal construction opening and closing cap makes irritating noise, may not be a suitable office water bottle. I do wonder if they could make the cap with softer metal surface.- I was hoping that the inner stainless steel layer would be unibody as well. But it is not.- I do taste a bit of metallic taste but it does not bother me too much.

Love this more than anything i've ever bought on amazon. I bring it everywhere and fill it up to reduce my plastic bottle use. Uni, out and about, travelling and at home. Makes me drink way more water than I did before. Sturdy and super easy to clean. Get compliments on it daily because it's so minimal and cool. Tried one of the charcoal filtre Bobble bottles which I found inconvinient, hard to drink from and impossible to clean. This thing is simple and easy and won't trick you (unless you forget to screw the cap on, my bad!).
