KOR ONE BPA Free Clear Reusable Water Bottle I 750mL I 25 Oz I Safe & Non-Toxic I Sustainable & Eco-Friendly I Leak Proof I One Click Cap w/ Handle I Wide Mouth I Great for Travel & Workouts

I have been an avid outdoors enthusiast for well over 25 years so I have had my fair share of water bottles. Sigg, Nalgene, Camelbak, Kleen Kanteen, REI, Eddie Bauer Etc.. I have had bottles from all of them. In fact I dont think there is a design or a company out there that I haven't tried. With that being said I ran across a KOR One bottle at my local racquetball club. I was immediately impressed by the design and since I was looking to buy a new bottle anyways, I decided to order one. All I can say is WOW, just wow. What an absolutely brilliant design. It opens up with a push of a button and closes up just as fast. Its so easy to open you can literally do it with one hand. It has two handles at the top which makes it extremely easy to carry. The handles also make it extremely easy to attach to a bag or backpack. The KOR ONE is made from Eastman Tritan co-polyester, a groundbreaking new plastic that has extremely high clarity, is extremely durable, and is bisphenol-A (BPA) free. The total capacity of the KOR ONE is 750ml which is imo the absolute perfect size for a water bottle. Its not so large that it becomes a pain to carry and at the same time its not too small thus unable to hold enough fluid. For those who are not very good with measurements, most bottled drinks that are available at the store are usually 16 ounces which is equal to 473ml. That means with a 750ml size, the KOR ONE is able to hold 25 ounces which is the equivalent to roughly 1.5 bottled drinks. Again, imo this is just the perfect size for a water bottle. My single favorite aspect to these water bottles is the diameter and shape of the bottle opening. Your bottom lip fits the shape of the opening perfectly. I swear it literally feels like they took some sort of mold of my mouth and created the opening of this bottle specifically for me. This is not an exaggeration, the overall comfort and fit really is that good. Its absolutely perfect as its wide enough to be able to do some serious chugging yet not so wide that it winds up on your face and shirt. In all honesty its the best water bottle opening I have ever seen. In fact, none of the other water bottles I have tried can even begin to compete with KOR ONE in this regard. Of course it would be criminal of me not to mention how amazing these bottles look. IMO they are easily the best looking water bottles ever designed. Of course how a bottle looks is not nearly as important as how well it functions however when you get a bottle that functions this well and at the same time looks this good....well, lets just say its a huge bonus!! These bottles also have some exclusive features. First they have what are called Kor Stones, which are disc-shaped tokens that have an inspirational message on them. They fit into the lid of your bottle so you see it every time you open up your bottle and take a drink. They are supposed to provide you with a little bit of inspiration each time you drink. Of course you could easily create your own tokens and put whatever you want on them be it graphics or even your name and phone number in case you lose your bottle. You can also buy something called a Yoli Blast Cap. Its a small cap that also fits into the lid of the bottle. Its basically a flavored vitamins and nutrients packet. Simply break it open at any time and your plain water is immediately transformed into a flavored vitamin water. I personal think this is a very cool idea, unfortunately the blast caps are pretty expensive so I have chosen not to use this feature, at least not yet. Hopefully the Blast Caps will come down in price as more and more people begin to use them as I really do think its an outstanding idea especially for people who take their bottles to the gym. I would definitely use such a feature if the price was right. I have now been using my KOR One for around 5 months and the more I use it the more I have come to appreciate it. In fact, I now have 4 of them in total. I keep different drinks in each one and keep them stored in my fridge. In the morning I simply grab whichever one I am in the mood for and off I go. The bottom line - The KOR ONE is hands down my single favorite water bottle in existence. Again I have pretty much tried every brand and bottle design in existence and imo none of them can match what the KOR ONE gives you. If your looking for a new water bottle then you owe it to yourself to give these bottles a try. Yes, they really are that good. 5 Stars!!

First off, I have to say that the bottle itself is great. It's stylish and a lot better looking to carry around than an ordinary water bottle, if you're into that sort of thing, I'm not, but it looks awesome sitting on my desk. The rolled lip makes the bottle very comfortable to drink from and the ergonomic shape makes it very comfortable to hold. It's size won't allow you to put it in any conventional cup holder, but thanks to the locking mechanism and the rubber O-ring on the inside of the lid, your drink, whether it be water or any other kind of cold liquid, is not going anywhere even if the bottle rolls around a bit. The wide-ish mouth also allows you to stick most sized ice cubes in to give your drink that extra freshness. Now, while I do think the bottle is awesome, I do have a couple... not really cons, but things I wasn't really too chuffed about. First off, and sort of unrelated to the bottle itself, the packaging. Amazon didn't do a very good job with the packaging on the product like Kor Water would have done if I bought it direct. The bottle itself is supposed to have a nice polished look and for the most part it does. But because they didn't wrap it in some kind of bubble wrap, the inside of the box did scuff the bottle up in some places. Luckily though, the bottle is dark enough that it's not easily visible at first glance. If you were to buy the ice blue color though, this would definitely be worth the time it would take to send it back. Finally, and like it says in the title of my review. Cobalt Blue isn't actually blue. I've scoured the Kor Water website to find the one that the bottle I received actually looks like, but they don't sell a purple-ish one. So I'm not really sure how they got their image of the bottle looking so blue, but what you get with this one is not like that. From up close the bottle that I have is distinctly purple, from a distance and under certain lighting conditions it does have a blue haze to it. Other than the mentioned issues though, this bottle is a really convenient and slick looking bottle as far as bottles go. And... purple with a hint of actual blue isn't that bad. Update: I was just trying to upload a couple pictures of this, but I'm finding out that through some optical allusion or the material that the bottle is made of itself... it looks like a true blue from behind the lens. I'll try my best to capture its true color and upload a good visual representation of the bottle that you would see.

Let's be real: This is kind of spendy for a water bottle. Or a "hydration vessel" as I think they call it. Either way, I used a gift card, so I don't even feel bad about it. It's a nice water bottle, the closure fits well, a friend is making snarky "stones" for me to put in the top instead of the inspiring drivel they decide to print (they're pieces of paper, by the way). It seems to be pretty sturdy. I haven't dropped it on hardwood or concrete yet, though the metallic finish is a little easier to scratch than I would like. It's BPA free so my water is free from nad shriveling contaminates, which I enjoy. The water does taste fresher than most other water bottles I've used, especially after sitting for some time. I left it for 3 days in my car and the water tasted fine. I am what one would call an "advanced drinker", and I have yet to put alcohol in it. As much as I like a stiff drink, I don't want to smell it for eternity. Tl;dr - If it's good enough for Tony Stark, it's good enough for you.

First of all, I would NEVER spend more than 15$ on a water bottle let alone $30. But after looking at the product i decided to take a risk, and boy am I glad I did. I needed a bottle that was big, heavy, durable, very luxurious feeling, and different from the lame camelbak/hydroflask/contigo crowd. I also needed a bottle that was clear, as I can't have solid water bottles when taking exams at my test center. Drinking out of this bottle makes you feel like you're drinking Gucci water every time. It had a Voss-like aesthetic and I am obsessed with it. It's a conversation starter every-time I have it out. PROS: -SEXY aesthetic, convo starter, get many compliments -expensive feeling -durable, very solid -heavy (in a good way) -wide thread-less mouth, easy for ice and cleaning (recommend buying a bottle brush cleaner tho) -clear (at least this model) -nice chrome trim -rubber bottom CONS (but not really cons): -The chrome one is $30, but it was totally worth it for me -It was really hard to open for the first time, but once I did it was all good -The packaging was a little disappointing, as it was just a store labeled water bottle in a cheap protective sack thrown into a box. Not a big deal because the product wasn't damaged or scratched, but I kinda hoped for better for a $30 bottle. -I'm honestly not a huge fan of the motivational quotes in the lid. The shape of it makes it kinda difficult to personalize it with your own pictures/paper. Thankfully it's super easy to take out and I just prefer having nothing in there at all. -The bottle does not fit in my mini cooper cup holders due to it's oval shape (it does fit in the planet fitness cupholders though), but i don't mind since i love the oval shape. The leak-proof top and solid body make it easy to just throw into the front or back seat when not in use.

Bought this as a gift for a huge fan of Ironman, who just really wanted the "cool" factor of having the same water bottle used in Ironman 2, out of which Tony Stark was drinking his fancy beverage in hopes to keep his blood poisoning at bay. From that standpoint, it was a massive success -- it is indeed the same product from the film, and so my brother was hugely happy to have the bottle from those scenes, which he'd said so many times he wished he could find. On the surface then, it should get five stars as a movie prop, but, as a water bottle, one might wonder a bit why a bizillionaire would be represented as buying this item, considering he could buy any water bottle on earth....then again, ahahaha, it's a movie so that's a really ridiculous question to pose, since it's fiction. Clearly, while it's fun to buy stuff that a superhero might have in his house, there's no accounting for choice of product placement in a film, so buying anything from just a glimpse in a movie scene is risky, of course. But, come on, flying suit aside, the Marvel films featuring Ironman do strive for some element of realism in portraying a "genius, billionaire, philanthropist playboy," so one might hope the fictional Tony would showcase a really outstanding "real world" water bottle, right? Then again, he is shown to drive an R8, where someone in his shoes would probably more likely choose something like a Veyron, so maybe expecting this to be the best of the best "hydration vessel" was a doomed hope... Anyway, jokes aside on what a comic book hero might buy, as the ultimate water bottle, this one is not so ultimate in real life, according to real life feedback. While my bro loves the movie prop side of it, he does also use it for a water bottle, and noted that its big size makes it a bit clunky, the mouth, while big enough for slimmer sized ice cubes, is not that comfortable to drink out of (too vigorous of a tip back will result in wearing your choice of beverage all over your chin and chest), it tends to hold the odor of whatever you drank, even after repeated washing, and the "inspirational" saying plunked under a removable top cap, visible when you pop the lid to take a drink, is a bit cheesy and pointless -- why they even bothered to go to the lengths of designing a lid that holds a pep talk is, to say the least, an odd choice of design, and the cheap paper ones they include (which state either "be the change" or "imagine") are ridiculously cliche, fail to inspire, and would easily be ruined if they ever got wet, which seems somewhat eventual since it's a water bottle (although, to date, the "stay dry" seal has kept them safe from moisture, so applause for at least having a solid design for that strange feature). Even the action of the lid doesn't feel as sure as one would hope, or expect, in a higher priced water bottle -- it doesn't give a satisfying "click" into place, and instead you wind up testing the closure a few times, hoping it is fully sealed. Thankfully, when closed, at least it doesn't leak, but there's not a lot of confidence it will stay shut, due to a front mount locking button that is not at all recessed, and, worse, sticks out a bit far, making it a rather risky set up, since, if bumped wrong at all in transport, or in your bag or wherever, the water bottle lid would fully open and instantly spill the entire contents of the bottle if on its side or upside down, etc. Thus, as purely a water bottle, especially at the price point, this pretentiously named "Hydration Vessel" would not be a first choice, or even a tenth choice probably, given what else is available with better value and more user friendly design. The "Thermos" brand, for example, offers an excellent pop top insulated stainless steel model with a far superior design, having a screw off top with a much wider mouth for filling it and accommodating fuller sized ice cubes, plus sports a pop top with a small spout for drinking that offers a far superior lid lock element to it that guarantees no accidental spills. Outside of a movie prop item then, this just does not seem to be a hugely well thought out product, but, on the plus side, it is BPA free, so kudos for that, it has a rather clever non-slip bottom to it, courtesy of a rubber ring, seems pretty indestructible in build, does stay closed once closed (although the slightly too exposed lid release button is, as stated, a bit of a worry), it looks pretty cool in a modern sort of way and, hey, it's the water bottle from Ironman, so that's neat, no matter how well it works! As something from a movie for a movie fan, it's five stars -- same product from the film, so a big "wow" factor there -- but as a water bottle, it's more like two stars, and that's being generous, so the final tally only limps up to three stars total. If it was solely marketed as a movie prop item (which most folks might not even realize it ever was) for display, it would be a win, but selling it as high priced hydration vessel leaves one disappointed since its real world use as a water bottle fails to impress. Would recommend for a fan of Ironman, as a conversation piece. Wouldn't recommend for much else -- not the worst water bottle ever made, certainly, but a far cry from being anywhere near the top of the pack. Seems Mr. Stark may well be able to invent a new element for the Periodic Table, but still needs some education when it comes to buying everyday household items...

I recently picked up the (r)Egrets bottle (green one with the pictures embossed), and I've been really pleased with it. First, I should mention that this thing is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I was expecting, well, a normal-sized water bottle. Something I didn't notice/realize/appreciate was that it's just under a foot tall. If you have a limited height area, you'll just have to lay it on its side. I've traveled with this thing, packing it in my carry-on. I've done a fair bit of walking and done some accidental dropping. It's not even been phased, this sucker is well-built and feels bulletproof. The top is very secure, and the seal didn't even have anything spilling into the top portion of it. The weight of the top is more than enough to keep it from flipping closed; I've gotten into the habit of flicking my wrist to close the top. My girlfriend was prompted to ask me if this was my 'new zippo', since I have a knack of figuring out clever hand tricks for opening/closing objects in this style. The mouth opening is smooth, and wide. It's got a very comfortable taper, and I just recently started feeding it ice. There's no cramming or mess, as the mouth is wide enough to take a standard ice machine cube without issue. No word on ice-tray cubes. The only detraction that I'd have is that you do have to get used to how the button for opening it works. You often have to ensure you hit it dead-center, or one of the two side releases won't disengage fully. But, I mean, if the worst thing you can come up with for a water bottle is that it's slightly harder to break the seal on it, well...

**UPDATE** 10/03/2012 Changed from 3 to 1 stars. Changed the title from "It's ok" to what it is now. After dropping and breaking my first KOR bottle I bought another. Through normal wear and tear one of the latches that keeps the top closed broke and it no longer stays closed, so it's in my recycle bin. No drops, no abuse, in fact, I was hyper-careful with it since I broke my first one. Clearly these guys make a poorly designed product. I would not recommend anyone buy this water bottle. Maybe they've fixed these design flaws in updated designs but this one is dud. **END UPDATE** I bought this water bottle mainly because I wanted a BPA-free alternative to the small 12oz water bottles I kept drinking out of (and recycling, and by the way they tasted like plastic and that was gross). Here are my pros and cons: Pros - Stylish (get lots of complements, I jokingly call it my iWaterBottle) - BPA-free Cons - DOES NOT FIT IN NORMAL ROUND CAR CUP HOLDERS (someone said it fit in car cup holders and I was very disappointed that it didn't) - Fragile I'm giving it 3 stars because the oval base does NOT fit in my car cup holder (or any other that I have tried) and because it didn't survive a fall very well. Yes, I know, it's MY bad that I dropped it but one fall from less than 4 feet and it broke the lid and bent the hinge. I was able to make it work for a couple more months but then one of the plastic hooks in the lid (that make the seal tight) broke and it leaked water all over the place. My nalgene bottle, on the other hand, has taken several 4+ foot falls, has been on numerous camping trips, and is still doing great -- but it's not BPA-free. If you want a stylish water bottle that people will comment on, and you can protect this thing, then by all means buy it. If you are hard on your gear I say skip it and get a BPA bicycle water bottle or something like that which can take a licking and keep on ticking. Cheers.

I have owned many water bottles before both steel and plastic. This water bottle tops the rest by far. It is not heavy as some report, but it is made with superb quality. The opening is a perfect size (seeing as I tend to dump water on myself with my other wide mouth bottle). It sits very comfortably on your lips and is pleasant to drink from. There is an air tight seal when the cap is snapped into place so there is no worry about leaking. The design fits very comfortably in my hand as well as carrying it on the go. There is a nice rubber ring on the bottom of the bottle that matches with the color that you choose which proves ideal for keeping it on my work desk without slipping. Their website does say they plan on making a custom bottle brush for their bottles, but for now I did buy the OXO Good Grips bottle brush and that works just fine. I find the price to be very reasonable on Amazon since there are other smaller bottles, such as Sigg, that are more expensive and do not have as much comfort as this. Overall, this is a beautiful water bottle that most importantly I love to drink from.
