![]() While the GSI (which has double wall insulation) kept water chilled the longest (it was at 38☏ after 28 hours), usability factors brought it down in our rankings. Most bottles’ ice completely melted around the 12-hour mark, but the water was still very cold, averaging 34☏. During the temperature checks, I noticed that the water first went down to around 34☏, likely due to the ice chilling it. To test cold retention, I filled each bottle with 100 grams of ice and 300 grams of water chilled to 37☏. Most Bottles are Great at Keeping Water Cool We found that pretty much any insulated, stainless steel water bottle will keep liquids cold. Generally, water bottles with simpler and smaller-sized drinking openings (like the Owala, Contigo, and Hydro Flask) were less messy, and I preferred drinking from them. The Yeti Rambler bottle featured a two-component lid (a plastic chug section and a separate cap to cover it), which made for some messy mistakes on more than one occasion, I accidentally took off both pieces and splashed myself with water. The sipping port was also inset, and I found it difficult to get my mouth close enough to drink cleanly. ![]() The GSI Microlite 720 Flip, while leakproof, had a rather confusing lock mechanism, and the lid required me to actively pull it open instead of automatically popping open once unlocked, which I expected. I preferred water bottles that were easy to use in terms of lids and locking mechanisms, like the Hydro Flask, which had the simplest lid design of them all: it featured a screw-on lid with a straw mouthpiece that lifts up-easy peasy. Durability Test: I dropped each water bottle five times onto a gravel driveway to examine durability.Īn Intuitive Lid with a Smaller Sipping Opening Was Best.I also ran the dishwasher-safe bottles and parts through the dishwasher, checking for any damage afterwards. ![]() Cleanup Tests: I hand washed each water bottle with a bottle brush and soapy water, noting how easy or difficult it was to do so.Cold Retention Test: I filled each water bottle with 100 grams of ice and 300 grams of chilled water and checked the temperature with an instant-read thermometer every hour for 24-plus hours.Spill Test: I filled each water bottle with water and knocked it over five times onto a surface lined with paper towels, noting if it leaked.I also evaluated how easy they were to fill with water and ice cubes. Usability Tests: I sipped water from each water bottle at least 25 times, using each throughout the day and bringing them with me to the gym.Learn more about Instacart pricing here.The Tests Water bottles with too-small openings were no-gos: they proved too hard to fill with ice.
