Overview

If you are looking for a toxin-free drinking bottle that is safe for you and the environment, the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle is one of your best options.

This water bottle is made of 18/8 stainless steel, a durable food-grade material used in many drinkware today. It also has a double-wall vacuum technology, which maintains the temperature of your beverages for hours. With this technology, you can have ice-cold and piping hot drinks to keep you hydrated throughout the day.

With the Leakproof Originals Spout Lid, this drinking bottle allows you to have a clean and hassle-free drinking experience. This innovative lid prevents spills, whether while you are drinking or carrying around your drinkware.

It reminds of the CONTIGO autoseal chill, except that this water bottle is made for hot beverages also.

The Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle can store up to 700 mL of liquid. On a typical day, this volume is quite enough for you to stay hydrated. However, larger sizes are available, too.

Up to 40 ounces which is great for longer trips. So, whatever activity you are most engaged in, you can have the right size with this model.

Features

Leakage is a common problem when it comes to water bottles, whether when they are packed inside your bags or while you are drinking. With today’s technology, many manufacturers have addressed this issue and developed leakproof designs.

This drinking bottle is made of 18/8 stainless steel. This material has food-grade qualities that prevent flavor transfers, allowing you to switch from one beverage to another without lingering tastes from your previous drink.

Consciously designed, the Takeya 24 oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle is free from harmful chemicals and toxins like bisphenol A (BPA). It is also rust-resistant, guaranteeing long-lasting durability.

With a volume of 700 mL, this drinking bottle can hold just the right amount of beverage to keep you hydrated on a good day. Nonetheless, it is also available in two bigger sizes— 32 oz, which has a volume of 950 mL; and 40 oz, which has a volume of 1.2 L.

Further, this water bottle has a pretty decent profile. It can fit in most cup holders and pockets. The wide loop handle makes it easy to carry everywhere, too.

For controlled drinking, the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle comes with the Leakproof Originals Spout Lid. This lid has an easy-to-open mechanism that lets you drink conveniently. More importantly, it inherently prevents spills as you sip.

Complementing the spill-proof lid of this drinking bottle is the Hinge-Lock technology. This technology features a stainless steel pin in the wide loop handle, which locks the cap out of the way when you drink.

This water bottle has double-wall vacuum insulation, which keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. This insulation technology also prevents the internal temperature from affecting the external temperature.

No matter how ice-cold your drink is, the exterior remains free from condensation or sweat. Similarly, no matter how piping hot your drink is, you can still hold the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle without burning your fingers.

This water bottle is finished with a double powder coat. This design ensures a firm grip that works even when your hands are sweaty. Moreover, it does not absorb heat from the sun.

All Takeya water bottles, including this particular model, have a universal wide mouth. You can pour ice with ease. Similarly, you can pour steaming hot content without fear of painful spills.

Also, like most Takeya drinkware, the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle is dishwasher safe. Meanwhile, all Takeya lids can go safely on the top rack of any dishwasher.

Why It’s a Great Brand

With its food-grade construction, this drinking bottle ensures the good quality of your drinks. You can switch from water to a flavored drink to coffee without any taste lingering from the previous beverage. Unlike with the Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic 20 oz, flavor retention is not an issue with this drinking bottle.

We also like that this water bottle is eco-friendly like most best-selling drinkware today. It poses no threat to the planet or our health because it is free from toxins and harmful chemicals like BPA.

The Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle makes one-handed drinking possible, thanks to its intuitive design. With its powder coating, it has a sure-grip texture that makes it easy to handle. Meanwhile, the Leakproof Originals Spout Lid is easy to open, requiring only one hand.

Speaking of the Leakproof Originals Spout Lid, this drinking bottle does not leak. You can put it in your bag without worrying about the content spilling, as long as the lid is closed properly. This lid also guarantees a leak proof drinking experience, like that of the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill.

You can have a worry-free drinking experience, thanks to the Hinge-Lock technology. The stainless steel pin in the handle lets you lock the cap while you are sipping. So, you can enjoy your drink without worrying about the cap accidentally smacking your face.

Powder coating and double-wall vacuum insulation have become increasingly popular features of drinking bottles in recent years. Like the Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth, the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle combines these two features.

The combination of powder coating and double-wall vacuum insulation allows for a sweat-free design. More importantly, it protects your hands from the temperature of your drinks. No matter how ice-cold or piping hot your beverage is, you can still hold this water bottle without hurting your hands.

Cleaning this water bottle is pretty easy, too. It is dishwasher safe, so you can clean it regularly by simply putting it in the dishwasher. With its wide mouth, occasional deep-cleaning is a lot easier, too.

Some Drawbacks

If you need drinkware to stay hydrated during demanding and lengthy outdoor activities, the insulation technology of the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle may not suffice. It can only keep cold beverages cold for up to 24 hours. Ice melts quickly, too. At best, the ice in your drink will last for about six hours.

In terms of insulation technology, some models fare far better than this water bottle. A good example is the Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic 20 oz, which can keep your cold drinks cold for up to 63 hours.

If you are out on a long drive with coffee in this drinking bottle to keep you company, you may also be a bit disappointed with its insulation. It only takes about 12 hours for your piping hot coffee to turn cold. Meanwhile, Klean Kanteen’s Climate Lock technology can maintain the temperature of hot drinks for up to 24 hours.

The Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle’s insulation technology is not necessarily bad. However, if you need your drinks to stay cold or hot for prolonged periods, there are better alternatives.

Generally, this water bottle is a pretty good everyday drinkware for different beverages. With a dependable food-grade construction, it does not retain any flavor from any previous drinks. You can conveniently switch from one beverage to another without any lingering taste.

Adding to the versatility of this drinking bottle is the double-wall vacuum insulation. You can use it for both hot and cold drinks, which can remain hot and cold for hours, respectively. However, if you frequent the great outdoors and need your beverages to stay cold for days, it may not be the right choice for you. In such a case, the Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic 20 oz is an ideal alternative.

The leak proof design of the Takeya 24oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle is noteworthy, too. Combined with the Hinge-Lock technology, it lets you enjoy a refreshing drink or a steaming hot coffee easily and without any mess.

Overall, this water bottle is a pretty decent choice. It comes close to the Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth but at a quite cheaper price.
