20 Best Water Bottles of 2023

The Wide Mouth water bottle with Flex Sip Lid by Hydro Flask is a stainless steel model designed for hot and cold drinks at a reasonable price.

It has an easy twist-to-open-and-close lid and it keeps drinks hot longer with double-wall vacuum insulation which minimizes heat escape.

The high quality of the Hydroflask brand and good design will not only keep your hot coffee hot but even your fresh drinks will stay cold.

Made with 18/8 stainless steel, Hydro Flask is one of the most recognizable brands in drinkware.

The Wide Mouth Flex Sip is an interesting option for both urban and wilderness scenes.

Let’s take a closer look at Hydro Flask 16 oz. Wide Mouth with Flex Sip Lid.

The Rambler series is synonymous with rugged quality and this Yeti water bottle is probably the most durable of our favorites.

Being durable also means that the flask itself is dishwasher safe. Though Yeti lids–and there are several, like the twist-on chug cap that we have here–shouldn’t go in the dishwasher, they will survive an accidental session.

The chug cap is very ergonomic and easily clips onto a backpack too.

Compared to other steel water bottles with vacuum insulation, the Rambler actually keeps hot beverages as warm as any other as a base measurement before taking into account how often the lid is opened during the course of a day.

The Chute Mag lid on this Camelbak water bottle is the easiest to drink from on the fly. As one of the most value-laden clear plastic water bottles, the Cambelbak chute lines up well against the likes of Nalgene for pure hydration.

Some features, like dishwasher safe and its slimmer design make this flask an ideal reusable hydration container for commuters.

We’ve tested this flask in different scenarios, including yoga training and hiking. Check out our review for more on the Camelbak experience, the good things and the bad.

The Contigo Autoseal water bottle has been around for a while now and remains popular for a very good reason. We’ve been going back to this one, using at the office and while testing gear outdoors, and can comfortable confirm why the Autoseal function is both unique and effective. Not only does it seem to be the most leakproof water bottle, but it consistently impresses by maintaining the coldness of the liquids it holds.

Primarily for water, this impressive 24 oz stainless steel bottle is one of the most popular products in a crowded field. It’s the autoseal technology that can also work as a spout and the price that does it for most people.

It’s designed for use in the car, on the bed stand and on the go. With a thoughtful ergonomic profile, CONTIGO continues to produce these without needing to change anything.

A Nalgene bottle in different colors will be spotted anywhere there are a lot of active people. On the mountain, in the gym and at work or school.

Made in the States, this clear plastic water bottle with a wide mouth is both one of the cheapest and one of the best made.

There are some features worth explaining why this is one of the best water bottles for athletes and hikers, but the appeal of this item to a broader group rests on its design simplicity.

Klean Kanteen is one of the leading names when it comes to drinkware today. It has a wide array of recognized products, including some of the best water bottles with double-wall vacuum insulation for cold and hot drinks.

The Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic 20 oz. is a great example of one that has a pleasing exterior with robust features. With Klean Kanteen’s reliable Climate Lock technology, it is one of today’s best-selling drinkware.

If you haven’t heard of Hydro Flask by now, you’ve benn living under a rock. Hydro Flask is one of the leading brands of drinking bottles today. One of its best-selling models is the Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth.

At a glance, this water bottle attracts with its stylish colors and sleek design. However, there is more to it than what meets the eye.

Hydro Flask water bottles are well known for its advanced insulation technology, TempShield. It also has a proprietary coating that makes it easy to handle in every situation.

Additionally, its durable, food-grade construction will last longer than other bottles with proper care.

The Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth is one of the most popular water bottles today. From athletes to commuters, yogis to overlanders, it has earned a well-deserved reputation for quality.

At the heart of this is its state-of-the-art insulation technology.

TempShield, a double-wall vacuum insulation design, maintains the temperature of your beverages for hours. This technology also prevents the internal temperature from affecting the external temperature.

With food-grade stainless steel construction, the Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth resists common water bottle problems like flavor transfer and odor buildup. Unless you use it for drinks other than water, you won’t have to clean it after every use.

Are you searching for a water bottle with an efficient filtering system? The LifeStraw Go Water Bottle has an interchangeable filter “straw” that removes odors and unwanted chemicals as well as bacteria.

This plastic tumbler with straw allows you to suck clean drinking water from otherwise impure sources using a 2-way filtration system. It reduces chlorine in tap water and eliminates germs and bacteria in outdoor water systems.

An easy, portable, filtered water bottle for when storms knock out pumping stations, or for camping, is what Lifestraw promises.

There are some great points for this slightly more expensive flask, and there are a couple of caveats. While it’s great when conditions demand it, everyday use is maybe not the Lifestraw’s intended purpose.

A nice alternative to a Hydro Flask is the Thermoflask Water Bottle. Featuring a similar design, the Thermoflask does almost as well, it has similar features, but at a more affordable price–at around $20.

It can go in the dishwasher–both the bottle and the lid and the straw–making it easy to clean too.

As far as water bottles with straws go, the Thermoflask has a tried-tested-and-true design seen on a lot of other comparable products of similar quality.

While there are better stainless steel options, a Thermoflask water bottle is popular because it does what it does at a decent price. So, pretty good value.

Are you still scouring for the best water bottle? Iron Flask might put an end to your search. Its popularity caught our attention, so we had to test it.

The Iron Flask Water Bottle can keep your coffee piping hot for hours and your iced drink cold for over a day.

After 6 months of testing this bottle on and off, we have a pretty good idea of what it can and cannot do. 6 months later the price has also gone up as it continues to outsell other major brands online.

Read on to find our updated assessment of this best-selling, insulated water bottle.

This Takeya water bottle has good insulation for both hot and cold beverages. It’s a well-built option for hiking, commuting as well as everyday activities.

Takeya is one of the best water bottle brands that have developed spill-proof technology to improve the overall drinking experience. It has a wide array of products that come with its spill-proof lids, which includes the Takeya 24 oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle.

Aside from a leak proof design, this dishwasher safe bottle also comes with double-wall vacuum insulation and a powder coat.

Indecisive about the best water bottle? The Hydro Cell Water Bottle is one of the latest brands to appear virtually out of nowhere, becoming a best-seller among better-known names. It’s one of the most affordable stainless steel options.

It has clawed its way to success by having a lower price point and offering two types of lids. But it’s also made a decent product.

Whether it’s hot or cold, the vacuum double-walling of this water container will maintain your beverage’s temperatures even after several hours. Hydro Cell also comes in stylish colors that blend well with modern trends. But will it function well, or is the looks’ all there is?

We tested this water container to determine whether it’s worth the price or a middling copycat. Here’s our verdict on the Hydro Cell bottle.

When going backpacking, camping, or hiking, access to clean water can be limited. Recent events have also shown that access to potable water can be hindered due to weather phenomena too.

You need water to stay hydrated, but having just a water bottle might not cut it.

Water-to-Go solves this problem with its filtered water bottle system. This product allows you to take non-salt water from any source and drink it safely. Thanks to a patented filter, it removes as much as 99.99% of contaminants that can make you sick.

The Water-to-Go Water Filter Bottle for Hiking Camping Backpacking Travel and Survival – 18oz/50cl has become an essential travel gear for many outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

What’s special about a Cirkul water bottle?

If you like drinking flavored or carbonated beverages, it is likely that, at least once, you’ve been bothered by the amount of sugar they contain. Consuming flavored drinks can also be an expensive habit.

A Cirkul water bottle is a unique item in a popular field. In fact, it’s not just a water bottle, it’s really a system that uses cartridges to flavor water, allowing you to dose the desired infusion. We wondered how long a Cirkul cartridge lasts and found out that it all depends on how much flavoring we choose to let loose.

The Cirkul 32oz Stainless-Steel Bottle & Comfort Grip Lid is one of their standard models. We got one in a starter pack with 4 cartridges.

Read on to see how exactly it works!

Do you want a dependable stainless steel tumbler? Do you like anything cost-effective? FineDine water bottle might surprise you.

It’s another product gaining popularity for its affordability. FineDine has the classic 18/8 stainless steel insulation with three lids. That includes a straw lid, a lid with a carabiner hook as well as a coffee sipper top. 

Given its price, it’s normal to doubt whether or not it can go face to face with your everyday demand.

To help you decide, we put FineDine stainless steel tumbler to the test to find out the answers. Here’s what to expect.

Thousands of single-use plastic bottles are used and discarded every second, and it is not helping the planet. Brita helps address this problem with its Premium Filtering Water Bottles, which are reusable drinkware that can filter tap water on the go.

These water bottles are designed to enhance the quality and taste of tap water, allowing you to enjoy clean and healthy water easily. They are available in various models, including the large-capacity, stainless steel option, the Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle – Stainless Steel, 32oz.

Let’s dive in and see how this drinking bottle works!

Featuring a triple-insulated shatterproof stainless-steel construction, four different sizes, and a huge assortment of trendy colors to choose from, the Corkcicle Canteen is form and function at its best.

The brand took in mind nearly everything when designing this modern water bottle. It features their signature ergonomic flat sides for a comfortable grip as well as a silicone bottom, which prevents the bottle from sliding on slippery surfaces and eventually spilling.

It’s also BPA-free and it comes with a no-leak threaded screw top.

Its tough insulated construction will keep your drinks cold all day long. And by all day long, I truly mean 24 hours! It can also keep your hot beverages piping hot but for less than 12 hours.

When we said Corkcicle thought of almost everything with this bottle, we meant that they forgot to include a strap or a carrying handle for convenient transport.

This water bottle by pioneering Brita does require a bit of recurring investment, as you’ll need to replace its filters once in a while (after 40 gallons or approximately every 2 months), but you can’t put a price on having purified and great tasting tap water.

It features a built-in filter, an easy-to-sip straw, and a leak-proof lid which comes with a built-in carrying loop for convenient transport. The filter improves both the taste and odor of the water by reducing chlorine and more with every sip.

The Brita Plastic Water Bottle is BPA-free, dishwasher-safe (top rack only), and easily fits in a car cup holder.

If you live in an area where drinking tap water is not safe, you should definitely give the Brita filtered water bottle a try!

Designed for traveling and outdoor adventures, the Platypus Platy Collapsible Water Bottle is a reusable, heavy-duty plastic bladder that can carry up to 2 liters of liquids. Once it’s folded, it will easily fit right inside a small pocket—perfect for your carry-on suitcase and hiking backpack.

It’s BPA-, BPS-, and phthalate-free as well as made from food-grade polyethylene lining, which doesn’t taste like plastic or retain flavors.

The Platypus Platy Collapsible Water Bottle is very practical and versatile. It can serve you as a water bottle, an ice block, and a dirty water bag for filtering water for cooking when hiking or camping. However, the new threads are not compatible with Sawyer or other standard thread devices. It only accepts the Platypus GravityWorks water filtration system.

All in all, this is a great versatile, light, functional, and affordable outdoor gear.

Ideal for camping and hiking trips because of its insulation, the Roamer from Swell is a large 64-ounce stainless-steel water bottle that makes staying hydrated an easy task.

The Roamer is also available in the 40-ounce model and despite its large size, the bottle comes with a handle, which makes it fairly easy to carry around. The price is equally hefty, but considering its construction and depending on your intended purpose, it’s worth every penny.

While this water bottle looks very much like a thermos, the design aesthetics of this big Swell water bottle have ingrained its utility in exercise routines and glamping in the way personal flasks normally are used.

Its triple-layered, vacuum insulated construction will keep your beverages cold for nearly 3 days and hot drinks for a little over a day. It’s also insulated with a copper wall layer that prevents condensation, and for your peace of mind, it’s BPA-free and composed of 18/8 premium food-grade stainless steel.

If you’re like me and you like your water to taste as pure as it can be, then glass water bottles are the real winners. We found that the Ello Syndicate Glass Water Bottle hits all marks in terms of flavor, design, construction, and price.

Although glass water bottles are more prone to break when compared to stainless steel and plastic ones, the Ello Water Bottle has proven to be quite sturdy even after a few accidental drops and bumps. It doesn’t leave any lingering flavor or odor from previous liquids either.

It’s quite easy to stay hydrated whether you’re driving, walking the dog, or taking your baby for a stroll with its convenient flip-top lid, which lets you use your bottle one-handed. And because the lid is attached to the bottle, there’s no risk of losing the cap in the process.

Another benefit of the pop-up lid is that it protects the mouthpiece from germs and dirt. Plus, you can–gently–throw your bottle in your bag or purse and it won’t leak.

By the way, we can’t forget to mention the enjoyable popping noise it makes every time you push the button.

The FDA food-grade silicone sleeve, which is available in 7 colors, not only offers protection from bumps and jostles of everyday use, but it also provides a nice firm grip. It also comes with a silicone strap for easy transport.

Also, all parts are obviously BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.

The long-branded, Fijoo Best Coffee Thermos is a workable, stainless steel bottle that’s popular because of its price. That price has made it a best-seller.

Despite its cheaper price tag, we found the Fijoo did the job in conditions that didn’t demand too much of it. As a daily driver for coffee-on-the-run, the insulated canister with a decent-enough lid sufficiently explains why so many have sold.

There are limitations to this thermos that need to be taken into consideration for more demanding conditions.
