Memobottle original., A5

Product Information

Although it doesn’t have any insulating properties, this bottle is dishwasher-safe, which is always a bonus. After doing so, the water clarity is perfect and there's no tang of chlorine or fluoride that you often get with tap water. And, of course, as this is a Dopper product, you’re doing some good: Dopper gives 5 per cent of its net turnover to the Dopper Foundation, which helps reduce plastic pollution and provides drinking water to those who need it.

Elephant Box’s eco credentials put them ahead of the bunch, with a commitment to making hard-wearing products designed to reduce plastic waste. If you want something unique to you, check out our best personalised water bottles, with options from adding photos to light up models. You'll find honest reviews of the best sports water bottles, reusable coffee cups, best lunchboxes and much more. Instructions recommend you squeeze one bottle's worth of water through the new filter before drinking to wash through any carbon residue.It ultimately gives you control over your drinks, whatever the weather, and is available in a selection of cheery, bright colours. Although it doesn’t make any specific insulation claims, we find that it keeps water cool throughout a day in the office. Modern insulated water bottles are genius bits of kit, designed to offer all the insulating functionality of a traditional thermos in a smaller, budget-friendly package. The BPA- and phthalate-free cap screws into nicely engineered screw threads, so you avoid that squeak of metal on metal that sometimes accompanies stainless steel bottles.

It’s also incredibly heavy: built like a dumper truck with a carabiner attached, it’s a whopping 1,240g when filled – although these are probably small concerns when you’re up a mountain on the hunt for clean water. I love the way that it gives my bag some structure, preventing it from pulling it downward unevenly with gravity. It’s even got a conscience: for every product purchased, a child in need receives safe drinking water for a full school year. It easily passed our drop test, and its compact size makes it easy to carry in your hand or bag or by the carry loop. For a fully dressed bottle, grab a SiliconeSleeve to protect and insulate, a MetallicLid to add some flair, and a DeskStand to proudly display yourcreation.Made from tough borosilicate glass wrapped in silicone to prevent condensation, potential slippage and breakage from knocks (although we didn’t perform the drop test this model), it looks great and performs well. The A5 memobottle™ is built for effortless all-day hydration, thanks to its extra large capacity and space-saving form.

Although it has no straw, it’s nice to drink from – no water was lost during the testing of this bottle while drinking from it or in transit. But, at a practical level, if you're looking for a bottle to fit in slim bags or briefcases, this is a great choice and makes an ideal gift. This was the best of the canteen-style bottles we tested and is ideal if you’re looking for a compact, sleek, lightweight water bottle. Its wide neck is easy to fill and fits ice cubes, while a recessed flip-straw encourages regular sipping but doesn’t leak.Fill up the plastic or metal water bottle with still or sparkling water, top with a flavoured pod, such as cassis, tangerine or cola, then sip through the straw, which aerates the water with flavoured air bubbles. It’s also available in a variety of sizes – we couldn’t help noticing that the larger 956ml version would be ideal for carrying more than a bottle of chilled wine to a picnic. Please also take time to read our post-Brexit information page if you are outside the UK to see what will happen now with tax and import duty. In some cases, this feature wasn't available but we made sure the bottles had other redeeming qualities to compensate.
