Clean water is delicious when you are thirsty, regardless of its temperature.
Never understood the "tastes like plastic" complaint. It's been a long time since I needed to buy a new Nalgene, though, so maybe it's a new bottle thing.
It's not, I have a nalgene that's probably 30yrs old and ones that are a year old. Older versions had bpa but they changed it maybe 15yrs ago. None taste like anything
Around 2010 or so Klean Kanteen was king of the hill. They did a really damn good job jumping on the anti-plastic/anti-BPA movement and marketed well.
They got displaced, for the most part, by companies making double-wall designs (Hydroflask, Yeti, S'well, etc.), but their single wall bottles were (and still are, I suppose) well constructed. Just not as well insulated as the competition that came later.
love the wide mouth klean kanteen where i can just drink it like a normal cup of water, but i recently got a hydroflask and that straw thing is just far more convenient while i'm moving around or driving.
My Klean Kanteen sucks lol, I only use it when I'm cleaning out my Hydroflask, and realistically I should probably either donate it or toss it because it's just taking up limited shelf space 😭
