Brita Sport Water Bottle with 2 Filters - 20 oz - BPA Free - Twin Pack, Blue and Orange

I bought this water bottle to help me drink more water while going to school this fall. At first, I enjoyed it, and it seemed to do an okay job. I have used the bottle approximately 10 times and it seems to taint the flavor of the water instead of just filtering it. I did a little test just to see what was going on and when I put already filtered water (from my Brita sink attachment) into the filtered bottle, it tasted gross. Will not buy again and will just go back to drinking one reusable bottle while out during the day.

I own 4 brita bottles for myself and 3 kids whom are in college. My kids are insured to have fresh water at all water fountains along with the money they save not buying $2 water bottles times 3 per day as well as saving the environment! I use to buy a 24 pack of desani water per week. Great savings along with less waste. Thank you Brita!

Have used this bottle daily for three months replacing a water bottle in the gym daily. For that its GREAT. But annoyed to the point of going through registration and review to tell how tired I am of being dribbled on every time I drink. Don't tell me to tighten the filter cap as I will twist the darn thing off if I go any tighter. Please fix what is apparently a design flaw.

I bought my first Brita filter bottle at the local drugstore as an impulse buy, because the ice cubes in the freezer always taste funky, and I wanted a way to have cold icewater that tasted better. This seemed a potentially good way to do that, and I was right. The built-in filter does a very good job of removing the "freezer funk" taste from icecubes placed in the bottle as well as significantly reducing bad tastes from tap water. I have a pitcher as well, but if the water is still warm from just filling it, adding ice to it will ruin the flavor. I've mitigated this somewhat by filling the pitcher bin with ice, then filling with cool tap water to get a cold-ish pitcher that tastes good, but the bottle is a better solution. I have a few minor ergonomic issues with the bottle in its current design. - It is too small, I find myself refilling it too often. I'd like it to be at least 50% larger. - The shape is too tall and narrow, making the base wobbly. Unless the surface it is placed upon is absolutely flat, it will be unstable and prone to tipping over. Since my nightstand is a "bread rack" style, with wire rack shelves, this is an issue. - The softer plastic, used to make it more squeezable and, I suspect, BPA free, makes the threads on the top more prone to leakage if not tightened VERY tight. This leads to the majority of the complaints I've seen. - The gray rubberlike device under the cap seems to serve no purpose except to get a film of water trapped in it, which then dribbles out when you take a drink, which many may be perceiving as the top leaking. After I fill my bottle and tighten the cap, I blow through the gap between the bottle shoulder and the large cap into the sink, to remove water trapped in this gray rubber "gasket" thing. Then it doesn't drip on my shirt. - The top sports-bottle nozzle is too hard to open. I frequently just leave it open because it is EXTREMELY tight. I have one question regarding the plastic used. If I wanted to use a SteriPen in combination with this bottle, to gain a higher degree of water sanitation, would the bottle's plastic block the UV rays generated by a SteriPen? The plastic used in a Nalgene bottle does, but since this is a different plastic, I believe the question is a fair one. All of my ergonomic issues aside, I enjoy using this bottle, and picked up two more, giving one as a gift to my lifepartner. Since I no longer drink sugared beverages at all, drinking mostly water instead, this bottle has been a boon to me, and I highly recommend it to others, though they will have to be mindful of its issues.

Before I saw these my fiance and I were drinking about a 24 pack of water bottles a week. We wouldn't drink the tap water in our building. We figured that it was getting expensive to keep buying water every time we got thirsty so we bought 2 double packs of these bottles. The water tastes amazing! While the bottle is a little hard to drink through at first, it gets easier,. I am extremely glad we made this purchase!
