Not the most exciting topic, but it’s all I got! I take a water bottle to work each day, and need a new one. Would prefer a 32 oz., glass or stainless steel. As I sit in an opened area of a medical clinic, I want the mouth piece to be able to close, so it is not exposed while not in use. The problem with most 32oz. bottles is they are wide, and I have small hands. I find it hard to grab and take a drink quickly with a big bottle, but would prefer something larger than a 20oz. Is there such thing as a bottle larger than 20oz that is slim?
I currently have a CamelBak Chute Mag in both a 32 and 20 oz. waiting to try. The 20oz will fit in my cup holder, which is nice, but again, would prefer a 32oz bottle. I am suppose to be drinking 64oz a day due to kidney issues; during the pandemic, it has been hard as I can’t keep a drink sitting on my desk during work. Searching for the bottle that is safe and easy for me to drink out of. I am not a lover of water, so getting it in has never been easy for me; give me ice tea and I could drink those 64 oz quickly!! Living a mile from work has also decreased my water consumption, as I use to drink 18oz on the way into work, and more on the way home.
I have a Yeti 30oz Rambler cup, but I don’t want to use that at work as the mouth part is exposed, although this would be the most economical choice!
I was going to suggest a Yeti. The one I have has a lid with a sliding mouth closure. It’s the best of all my commuter type containers as it keeps things either hot or cold for hours.
Maybe replace your top on your yeti? I like my yeti best but there’s a brand called Rtic that’s nice. It’s thinner than my yeti and has a top that screws on and I can close.
@deb922 I had looked at the MagDock Cap before, but I don’t like the placement of the spout. As it is centered, and straight up (not tilted) I would definitely need to hold the cup with two hand, and still might spill all over my shirt
@jpga13 I have looked at the Hydro Flask, but like the CamelBak better due to the spout.
@BunsenBurner I had not heard of MiiR, but the narrow mouth bottle in 27oz is a strong contender but is sold out. The 23oz could also be a nice middle ground. I will be researching these more; thank you!
I forgot about S’Well! I think my daughter may have one in her box of belongings here; I will have to look! Their 25oz would be great for work, and the added sports cap would be nice to have outside of work. @BunsenBurner thanks for the reminder.
The Ello is similar to my last bottle which took a jump off the counter and broke into many pieces!
I actually used the 32oz CamelBak today, and not only did it fit into my car’s cup holder, it wasn’t as hard to handle as I thought. It was a bit heavy when full; mostly because I have had elbow pain, so gripping was a bit difficult. I think I will give this bottle some time.
How about Simple Modern? Not the cheapest, but they have lots of pretty colors if that is important to you! I have a Swell type bottle that I use for around the house and I like it. It might be an actual Swell bottle. I got it at an event that a family friend was honored at for her volunteer work. It’s orange and it has a logo on it and it certainly isn’t a color I’d choose, but I love the bottle and it was free. It keeps drinks cold for so long! My H has a Hydroflask knockoff that he got at Costco that he likes. My son has a Nalgene and D has one too! Really is personal preference.
