Kalalou CRL5134 Bedside Water Carafe and Drinking Glass, Green

Product Information

Strategist senior editor Winnie Yang also points out that the sip hole allows her to get the last bit of water out once she reaches the bottom and the straw isn’t able to draw any more out.

Third, the standard lid is watertight but made of plastic, a concern for many people seeking glass bottles. This past year, it became clear to me that the Owala is the status water bottle — and I think it’s here to stay. Since I didn’t need hot and cold water, just distilled and room temperature, this was a great place to use it,” she said. You’ll see that some of the water will evaporate during that time, which is proof that the plastic isn’t impermeable,” he explains. And it mimics the rim of a glass better than the lip on any other bottle we tested, including the round lip on the Klean Kanteen and the thick, industrial-feeling lip on the Yeti Rambler.Also, though the lid has a ring that you can turn to track your water intake, in practice we’ve found we barely use it. That leak-free lid makes this bottle an ideal driving companion—it fits in a cupholder and is easy to sip from while you’re keeping your eyes on the road.

Another great feature of this bottle: Despite the fact that it holds 24 ounces—a capacity we’ve found to be cumbersome in a metal bottle—the Thermos possesses just the right proportions to be ergonomic and easy to carry. It’s a little skinnier than a lot of others, and I never have to worry about it fitting in a cup holder or my purse. When you leave your water out in an open glass, it may absorb a small amount of carbon dioxide, slightly changing its pH balance. This pitcher has a tight opening to prevent spillage and a tough glass that adapts to temperature changes, making it suitable for fridge storage. However, the Chute’s lid is compatible with our new recommendation for use while driving, the CamelBak Eddy+.The Takeya Actives just barely nudges the Chute out of competition because the Takeya comes with the silicone base, and it’s often on sale. Every summer, at least one black field cricket gets into my house and seems to gravitate to the bathroom to find water.
