Kor One Water Bottle

The Kor One water bottle is a reusable water bottle that is not made from polycarbonate (therefore doesn't have any Bisephenol-A hazards). The Kor One is made from Eastman Tritan, a copolyester which is a preferred alternative to polycarbonate. Copolyester's biggest advantage is that it retains its strength and clarity even when exposed to other chemicals, whereas polycarbonates are more sensitive.

I got mine in the mail today and I like it quite a bit more than I thought I would... For starters, the packaging and trimmings are very classy. I know that doesn't matter in the long run, but for me it helps with first impressions. Next off the build quality is really incredible. The base has a low profile rubber ring around it that helps with traction when setting it down. The button on the front to open the lid is large enough and the actual clasp holding it closed is really beefy - actually it's connected to an armature that actuates two hooks - one on each side of the bottle. These, in turn, are held in place by TWO large leaf springs that really feel like they're here to last.

What don't I like? Well I hate leaving reviews where I don't trash at least ONE thing about a product but I can't bring myself to do it. OH YA- and the mouth is big enough to put in the ice cubes from my ice maker! See? I actually put a positive comment in the trash section. Ouch.

That said, I'm not a paid shill and I --- OH there's something I don't like. I think most of their website is horrible crap. Too much flash and "Personal Sustainable Hydration" is the most pompous tripe I've ever heard.

That said, I think everyone should run out and buy one of these, unless you want to die from only having non sustainable hydration! (blech)

Randi here from KOR, for those of you who took the time to comment about the Kor One, thank you! It is now available and shipping. It took us a while to get the production going, but the end result was worth the wait. The demand has been amazing and we are very excited about how many people are interested in better health, better environment, and better design. I invite you to come check out the website also, as there are many interesting facts and articles about water, recycling, health and our planet.

Ok here I am almost 2 months later with my 2 month comments.

1. The bottle, despite being in daily use, has zero scratches. This doesn't make sense to me as everything else in my bag gets trashed almost instantly. This bottle is made of solid stuff.

Nothing else really to mention here - read my original review.

Still love it. Kor is still spewing propaganda about the environment and that's still annnoying to people like me, but I really could care less, as once I've got the bottle in my hand, it doesn't talk. :) Oh - and their website still sucks.

That's pretty impressive that it hasn't scratched yet. My Klean Kanteen has scratches and a dent already, now I feel like I have to baby it a little.

I received my Kor water bottle about 1 month ago and love it.

The wide mouth makes for easy drinking and it does not have the bad metallic taste like other bottles. My husband doesn't have one yet and tries daily to steal mine.

There is a place for an inspirational mesage in the lid and the bottle is easy to clean.
Only negative is that it doesn't fit into my cup holders.
