KOR Vida BPA Free Stainless Steel Water Bottle

So many compliments about this one. Great size, texture, and quality. The design is so on point as well. And the murdered out all-black is a nice touch. Highly recommended.UPDATE:After almost a year and two of these bottles (one a replacement for a loss) I've found two issues that are almost dealbreakers:Using this with hot coffee is a recipe for injury. The lack of any insulation on this bottle means that it quickly gets impossible to hold if the liquid in question is coffee or tea. It's great for cold water, but beware hot liquids (although those little cardboard holsters they have at coffee shops do work in a pinch).The second issue is that you have to be very careful to make sure the lid is entirely threaded when the lid is closed. It can often be just a little bit off but appear to be firmly closed. Then the next thing you know is there is water everywhere. So be careful, especially if someone else is closing it and handing it to you (see above comment on hot liquid).That said this little guy can hold a TON of coffee and they always just charge you for a medium size since you brought your own container. So this thing pays for itself, looks dope, and will serve you well.

Part of the allure of buying products from relatively unknown companies online is that you somehow expect that the product is more/or will do more than what it's set out to do. If such is the case, you'll be disappointed to learn that this water bottle, despite is alien-like logo and unconventional design, does nothing but carry water. If you, however, expect this water bottle to serve nothing but it's stated purpose, then you'll be pleased to know that it does just that. And now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'll start justifying why I paid too much to buy this bottle.First of all, this is far from the best bang for the buck you can get online on water bottles. For close to 25 dollars in tax + shipping, you can easily buy an equally sturdy and volumetric BPA-free water bottle from other companies (SIGG, Camelbak, etc.) That being said, for the aforementioned price you do get exactly your money's worth in the sleek design and the clever mechanics of the "perfect spout" water delivery system. As pretentious as it soumds, the "perfect spout" does actually make the difference when compared to the other water bottles I have; this water bottle does not involve me biting and sucking (yes, that is indeed what she said) like I do with my Camelbak, and for a bottle that's designed to hold 750ml of liquid, the spout is neither too big that I spill water on myself (like I do with my SIGG, and my Nalgene bottle) nor too small to cause a bottleneck like... most bottles with a neck (i.e. Aquafina, Spring Arrow, etc.)Oh and for those of you who do not know what the "perfect spout" is referring to, it's just a small semi-concave groove layer inside the spout that's designed to anatomically form around the shape of the human mouth (big words to describe a very simple and small concept, I assure you.)In conclusion, yes this is a great--albeit expensive--water bottle. No, it does not do any tricks when you look away.

The media could not be loaded.  I have several other KOR bottles and this one is my favorite for both looks and functionality. It's got a very simple and strikingly elegant thermos-like design that really stands out from the pack. The blue accents on my Arctic White 750ml make it look like something out of  Tron .The design is minimalist and ultra modern. The cap is all plastic, as is the neck and mouth. The rest of the bottle is steel, with a chalk white finish and gentle upward taper. The cap doubles as a fastening point for a carabiner and provides a shallow cup for drinking from. The non-transparent design and taper means sometimes it's difficult to fill without overflowing. I've done this twice already, spilling water all over the counter because as the bottle fills up, the fill rate gets faster and faster due to the narrowing dimensions.I want the bottom to have a rubber ring, like the other KOR bottles have. I've used this for about a week and am already starting seeing the paint fray up and get marks. Some places even have pock marks from rubbing against other objects in my messenger bag. If you intend to just toss this into a bag and go, the natural steel one is the better choice for you. After a few months of use, I expect my white bottle to look really "lived-in".Overall, really nice to look at, but somewhat high maintenance for this color.

I bought this 500ml product a few months ago because it was BPA-Free and being of stainless steel I knew it would be durable and happy to say doesn't impart the taste or odor of metal. It also has a leek design that's comfortable and natural to hold with an integrated ergonomic handle making it easy to carry. But my favorite part is its' hygienic spout, as most bottles tend to force you to drink from an exposed surface but KOR's covered cap design protects the spout from outside germs and particles when not used; as well its' thread less spount feels great on your lips and is large enough for inserting most ice cubes yet minimizes splashing and also allows easy cleaning of the inside.

for cold water only, can not use for hot water unless your wear gloves.

The bottle is excellent, there's only one minor issue; I got it with a huge scratch on the side don't know if it happened during shipping or it was sent like that.

I needed a water bottle to use at the gym and office. Something that's sturdy enough for the gym and something that I can put in my briefcase where I carry all my documents. KOR fit the bill perfectly, here is my brief list of pro's and con's:Pro's:-absolutely DOES NOT LEAK; this is massive for me as I throw my bottle alongside my laptop and documents and carry it around everywhere-very fast to unscrew as the cap does not have million of threads. this is important for me because I use my bottle at the gym, where I take lots of drinks. if I had to spend a lot of time unscrewing the bottle it would be pretty annoying-surprisingly rugged; I use the bottle every day and bang it around quite a lot. I've also dropped it on concrete quite a few times. there are hardly any nicks and scratches, and there are absolutely no dents which is amazing-the spout is completely covered by the cap, so I never put my lips on parts of the bottle exposed to the environment-does not smell!-easy to hold-looks good (I know people don't really care about looks but this bottle looks excellent)Con's:-more expensive than your average water bottleHonestly an excellent product. I've since purchased 2 more for my family to use.

Have bought several of these. Easy to clean, look good and safe drinking water

Cette gourde est la seconde gourde de la marque KOR que j'achète. J'avais une KOR Delta dont j'étais très satisfait, mais le système de fermeture en plastique n'aura pas résisté à plus de six mois d'utilisation quotidienne.Je me suis donc tourné vers la Vida tout en aluminium.C'est un très bel objet, très pratique, et surtout très léger. Facile d'utilisation il rempli parfaitement son rôle.L'ensemble est solide et parfaitement étanche.Une gourde originale pour un prix raisonnable.
