Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Bottle

I have been using (and loving) an REI bullet bottle for my morning coffee for a while, but wanted something to carry around cold water that wouldn't give it a hint of coffee flavoring. A friend swooped in for Christmas and got me a Klean Kanteen.

While I can't stand the usage of "K's" when "C's" make sense, I like it a lot otherwise. Once you start, it makes you feel ridiculous ever reaching for a plastic bottle of water.  Good stuff.

 i was just given this as a christmas stuffer, and i love it.  i used to bring water everyday in less eco-friendly containers...buying large bottles of it near work -- horrible, i know.  one reason i didn't use nalgenes or other such reusable containers before is that a) they make the water taste like plastic and/or b) they leak through the top.  but the klean kanteen is perfect.  it doesn't leak, is super tough, and doesn't make my water taste like anything but...clean water!  i love it.  

In a bottle gang war, my 40oz Kleen Kanteen would come out with a couple dents after shredding through the frontin' plastic punks. My bottle is TOUGH, and after the death match that happens in my backpack everyday as I mt. bike and run all over the place, it comes out ready to serve me up some nice un-plasticy tasting water.

I bought this bottle to carry water in for the little children in my Palo Alto preschool.  This bottle is bigger than the Sigg  bottle I was using so that is better for us.  The mouth is wide enough to add some ice cubes for a really hot day.  It is light weight, easy to clean and all stainless steel which means no toxics leaching into the water.  I give this product two thumbs up.
