These Are The Best Filtered Water Bottles For Clean Water Anywhere

De CidesaWiki

I scoured the web for the best water bottle options for the most functional and fashionable reusable water bottles. I began my search with brands I already knew created good products, like S'well bottles, though I ended up finding a couple that aren't as evangelized but still create cool products to help you stay hydrated.

The body of the Astrea One bottle is made of stainless steel, and the cap is made of thick BPA-free plastic. The filter inserts snugly into the bottom side of the cap and locks in, giving the bottle an overall sturdy feel. 

The best espresso machine for under $200: Cuisinart EM-100
While it lacks its own coffee grinder, the $170 Cuisinart EM-100 has plenty going for it. This espresso machine has a compact design but is powerful enough to brew from fine coffee grounds. It also pulled flavorful espresso shots, second only to the Breville Barista Express in terms of quality, taste and strength. The machine features a long stainless steel frother for steaming milk and a built-in cup warmer too. A solid espresso machine at about a third the price of the Breville.

I also limited this list to automatic machines and semi-automatic espresso machines. I excluded super-automatic espresso makers as well, sold by Krups, Philips, Miele, and others. They're a breed apart, costing many multiple times more ($2,000 to $3,000).

They're tough enough to toss into bags and survive the hustle and bustle of your days, and Hydro Flask vacuum-insulated bottles resist condensation, so the outside of your bottle will stay dry. This bottle comes with a standard lid, but you can always mix and match. 

And just like any coffee brew, the ideal extraction percentage for espresso is a range between 18 and 22%. This yields a balanced cup, assuming you perform an even and efficient extraction of coffee compounds from your grounds (both flavor and caffeine).

Although it's technically safe for consumption, you can easily find plenty of people who say that hard water wrecks their skin and hair, and that buying a shower filter alleviated acne, frizzy hair and even eye irritation. Even more people say that a shower filter helped with itchy and dull skin, and flaky scalps.

You prefer bottled water but want to reduce your plastic consumption
To that end, I tested six filtered water bottles to find out which ones you can trust to provide you with clean, safe drinking water, indoors or out.   

Lead and chlorine in drinking water
Even if your water smells and tastes fine, harmful chemicals could be lurking inside. Water pollutants fall into different categories, but the main ones of concern in your shower water are toxic metals, chlorine (used as a disinfectant) and the byproducts that chlorine creates with other chemicals in the water.

These shots I pulled were balanced though, with an extraction of 18.6%. The test beans I use are the same variety I employ for standard coffee makers -- Costco Kirkland Colombian. It's a medium dark roast, suitable for brewing espresso as well.    

$43 at Amazon Gooseneck pour-over kettle
Amazon For pour-over coffee methods, you'll want a good gooseneck kettle. Heat up cold water in something like this kettle, and the narrow spout will give you the control you need to distribute hot water over your coffee grounds (or tea), first to help "bloom" the coffee grounds, and then to evenly "pour over" the rest of the water.

Breville precision brewer
Amazon If you're really in the mood to treat yourself, this automatic pour-over coffee maker will do the trick. Take all the guesswork out of a perfectly crafted hot cup of delicious coffee -- this machine heats, times and pours the water for you so that you get the pour over flavor complexity without risking a case of barista elbow.

Hario ceramic coffee dripper
Amazon This Japanese pour over dripper can be used with your mug for a single serving or placed above a large carafe for a big batch of several mugs of coffee if you've got company (or it's just one of those mornings).

If your vacuum came with a cleaning tool in the box, use it to make quick work of any coiled strands you find. Don't be afraid to dive in and dig out debris with your fingers too. I often find the best tools for the job are your bare hands.

The Roomba S9 Plus and Roomba i7 Plus take dustbin maintenance to the next level. These models come with a CleanBase dock that automatically vacuums out their dustbins. Dirt then ends up in a disposable bag big enough to hold 30 bin-fulls of debris. It's also a snap to remove and toss into the trash.

$87 at Amazon Burr ceramic manual grinder
Amazon If you're traveling, this manual travel coffee grinder is small enough to bring to work or on vacation. Since it's completely hand-powered, there's no need to worry about having an outlet nearby. And this hand grinder goes well with other man-powered gadgets like your mortar and pestle, your hand-crank egg beater or your old-timey butter churn.

$36 at Amazon Lifefactory Glass Water Bottle
Our glass water bottle pick
Lifefactory Glass is non-toxic, doesn't seep chemicals, and doesn't degrade over time, making it a great alternative to plastic. The body of this Lifefactory bottle is made entirely of glass, while the protective outer layer and flip-top seal are silicone. This wide-mouth bottle has a silicone sleeve that makes this bottle extra grippy (no broken glass!), and it's dishwasher-safe.
