  With a new style of water bottle popping up every year, Which one have you stuck with?

  Note: I have never bothered with insulated bottles, and I am very sensitive to the smell and taste of plastic. For home and shopping, I love and prefer the [BKR](https://mybkr.com/) I picked up for $5, but it is cumbersome for hikes and workouts. For active lifestyle stuff, I used a [KOR Delta](https://www.korwater.com/products/delta?variant=42939831582819) for around ten years, but the lid finally gave out. Hinge broke as I used it. The timing was fine since I have been trying to limit plastic. The replacement will be a [Klean Kanteen Reflect](https://www.kleankanteen.com/products/plastic-free-water-bottle-27oz). I sincerely believe this will be my final on-the-go water bottle purchase. In my experience and for my needs, the only truly reliable bottles have been simple screw-cap glass ones, some with silicone sleeves, some without. Again, though, they are not great if you are running around outside or in a gym. KOR bottles are the only plastic ones I have ever liked, but even they impart the vile plasticky scent and flavour after some use, particularly in warm weather. And, of course, moving parts on a plastic lid like the Delta's are a point of failure.

  When I lived in LA there was a juice bar that sold alkaline water in 32 ounce glass containers. I’ve been using those for a long time. When I moved to Michigan I didn’t really care for the tap water so I picked up a Brita bottle with a filter. I’ve been using both of those for a long time now. About a year ago I picked up an overpriced Bink glass bottle with a rubber protective outer layer and a straw. That’s my every day. I used to hate straws but now I’m annoyed when a bottle doesn’t have one.

  I've been using a BKR for over a decade. Their liter bottles are my favorite! They are glass with a silicone sleeve.

  As crazy as it seems, a glass one. BKR’s 1 liter in Spiked Black. Had two, but my dog kicked one from my truck seat onto concrete. Bought them about three years ago. Not indestructable, but close! The plastic ones are difficult to clean, and I don’t have a dishwasher. This bottle is thick glass, with a chunky silicone cover. You can purchase individual parts, and the quality and durability is surprisingly great. Before I had these, I just bought a new bottle of water, once per week, and washed/reused the bottle. Not a fan of single use containers, and this helps with less waste. They’re pricey, but worth it.

  Anyone have good experiences with glass travel mugs?

  I like bkr. But for cold liquids not hot.

  I want to buy a good water bottle

  Any idea how often they restock? I went to go pick up a couple for the family based on this common thread and they're almost completely sold out. I'll keep checking back I just thought I would see if you had any insight. I have had a BKR for years that I like for the visuals. When they came out with insulated glass tumblers, I checked back over the course of a year. Last month I finally broke and picked one up on eBay. Worth it but I hate the idea of supporting people who hoard stock.
