Hey folks, I’m here with another quick review. I just received my Klean Kanteen, and gave it a test run today.
I was looking for an alternative to my Lexan bottle (Nalgene), because the water tasted really plastic(y) after a while. I looked at Sigg bottles, but they use some sort of plastic liner in their bottle, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of a stainless steel bottle.
Edi: My cousin mentioned that water from her Sigg bottle tasted just fine. I had heard conflicting reviews on this issue before.
Enter in the Klean Kanteen. I purchased the 27 oz size, which is the perfect size for the toting along all day. Pictured above is the bottle next to a Pom glass for size reference.
The entire canteen is stainless steel metal, with the cap being a non-leaching propylene. There’s also a cool little loop on top of the cap, so you hold it or attach it to something.
One of the coolest things about the bottle is that it has a wide mouth opening. That means you can put ice in it, and also makes cleaning a lot easier.
As for it being the perfect size, I can fit it into my bag nicely.
The material and construction seems to be of high quality. There is no question that the Klean Kanteen will last for awhile. It’s also pretty light, so you don’t have to worry about it weighing you down throughout the day.
Aside from making a quality product, the company Klean Kanteen is also very environmentally conscious. What better way to help the environment than by supporting eco-friendly businesses!
Some people will argue that Lexan bottles are completely safe. For me it’s more about peace of mind, so if I don’t taste plastic, I’m good.
Although the water is tasting great, I can’t help but notice the metallic “smell” from the bottle. Maybe it’ll go away after a few washes. There is also some squeaking that the cap makes when closing. Other than that, this bottle is way better than using plastic bottles.
Nice review. I heard some juice don’t do will in the Sigg container but are fine in the KK.
Nice review. The only problem I have with Klean Kanteen is that they are made in China. If you’re familiar with mfg in China (which I am..it’s what I do for a living)…I find it difficult to accept their claim to be an environmentally friendly company. Anyone know of a stainless steel bottle made in the USA?
Found myself on your site.. Nice review on the KK. I, too, have this, but in the 40 oz (it’s huge, I know) and I am very pleased with it. I see no that the company has a line of colored bottles.. Though pretty, I think I still prefer my all stainless steel buddy. =)
