Hello! I’m loving all of the great BPA free products on the market these days! As mentioned by Ken above, there is a difference in the steel. I personally prefer Klean Kanteen bottles. They don’t leach, are very versatile, and are extremely durable. While they definitely cost more than $10, these bottles more than pay for themselves. I’m hooked . Thanks for the article!

I agree that Stainless steel is the way to go. But there is a difference between food grade stainless steel and 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel (sometimes called 18/8) is the best grade of stainless steel. If you don’t get 304 stainless steel you will probably get a metallic taste from your bottle. The Eco canteen mentioned above is not 304 stainless steel from what I could tell. I found some bottles that are 304 stainless steel and cost less than the Eco. The bottles cost less and the shipping is less and the bottles are beautiful. I bought 4 of them. they have a 12oz 25oz and 40oz and all kinds of accessories. The web site is http://www.greenvirginproducts.com. They even have a lifetime warranty.

Yes! There is an enormous amount of plastic sitting in landfills. The choices we make today will effect the environment in the future for ourselves and generations to come. Using refillable water bottles and reducing plastic use will have a great impact…whether the bottles are glass or stainless steel. And, if you use a refillable glass or stainless steel water bottle there is no need to worry about plastic leeching into the water. Great blog post!
