The Kleen Kanteen Wide Mouth Insulated water bottle was originally created based on customer feedback, offering a wider opening for easier filling and pouring, as well a universal thread design that works with most backcountry water filters without an adapter. The bottle comes in a variety of color and volume options, and -- like all Kleen Kanteen products -- is made of 18/8, food-grade stainless steel, which is free of BPA and other toxins, and doesn't retain or impart flavors.

About Klean Kanteen
Long before stainless steel water bottles were in vogue, Kleen Kanteen was working on its first prototype from items bought at a local hardware store in Chico, California. In 2004, the company released its first product, geared toward providing consumers with a lightweight, reusable, durable, BPA-free bottle. Since Kleen Kanteen products are made of stainless steel, they never absorb or leech flavors between drinks, and provide a crisp, fresh sip of your beverage every time.

Kleen Kanteen, as an organization, is dedicated to lowering its environmental footprint by making adjustments where necessary throughout its entire production process. Ensuring office paper is 100% post-consumer content, providing hand and dish soaps that are fair trade using Energy Star-certified office equipment -- these are a few of the company's "Earth-in-mind" operations choices. This commitment to sustainability extends to the beginning of the production process, where Klean Kanteen has increased oversight and conducted third-party audits of factories, making sure they're meeting Klean Kanteen's environmental and fair labor standards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, December 19, 2009

I've had several of the regular Klean Kanteen bottles which are great, but I always disliked the fact that the liquid didn't stay cold for long unless the tote was used, and the bottle would sweat quite a bit. I didn't like the tote because it smelled odd and made the bottle awkward to set down on tables. When I saw the insulated bottles I bought 2 of the 20 oz size, one with just the regular loop cap and one with the cafe cap. I have to disagree with what everyone has said about both caps. I love them both! I use the bottle with the loop cap the most, and it keeps my juice cold all day, 9+ hours at work, even without adding ice. The cafe cap doesn't leak for me, either out the opening or around the seal. Of course, it does state that the opening you drink from isn't supposed to be leak-proof, it says it right on the packaging. I don't upend my bottle, but if I did, I might get a few drips at the most. These are great as travel mugs for coffee, they even fit in my car's cup holders. I don't think most travel mugs are completely leak-proof anyway, especially if you can drink out of the cap. Keeps coffee hot for the whole day, just as stated. Would also be great for smoothies or soup. I plan to buy a couple of the 12 oz size for my lunch bag. Another excellent product from Klean Kanteen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bottle...you will not be disappointed!, December 5, 2009

OK...it was a little hard to spend this much on a water bottle, but I am glad that I did. Water stays cold a long time & I am sure that a heated drink would stay warm just as long. No metal taste at all! Easy to clean. I'm glad that I spent a little more $$$ and purchased the insulated Klean Kanteen. UPDATE: After four months of using this bottle I appreciate it even more. I live in Florida & this bottle keeps my water cold even AFTER it has sat in my HOT car for several hours!

As a student, I feel that I am always on the go and always craving coffee. This bottle is almost magical in its ability to preserve the temperature of your drink (hot or cold), and maintain the taste (no plasticy aftertaste). This is obviously because of the vacuum insulation, and stainless steel construction, respectively, along with supurb build quality.

I will now speak specifically about cold and hot liquids in the bottle, as well as a lid (something that is very important to a bottle.

Cold: This is what it seems to handle the best. Ice stays frozen for hours (seems like up to 10 or 12 hours sometimes), and ice water will stay pleasantly cold for nearly 20 hours. I put water with ice in the bottle around 3:00 one afternoon, and it was still quite cold the following morning around 10:00. Another advantage of keeping very cold water in this bottle versus a non-insulated klean kanteen is the fact that it does not sweat.

Hot: Coffee from my keurig coffee machine stays at a delectible temperature for up to 5 hours after brewing with this bottle. With a traditional coffee pot, or a french press (where the temperature is usually higher than a keurig's serving temperature) would last longer. I have not tested this personally.

Lid: This is the weakest part of the bottle by far. There are two things about the lid which bothers me quite a bit. Firstly, the lid is not supposed to be fully submerged in water when washing. Water "under pressure" can leak into the lid and have no hopes of getting out. Secondly, and partially due to the difficulty of cleaning caused by the first point, the lid seems to smell strongly of whatever you have been drinking. This is most evident with coffee. Otherwise, the lid keeps a tight seal when on the bottle, and leaves you feeling comfortable tossing the bottle in your bag with a computer and notebooks, etc.


Summary:

This bottle is great, and does as it advertises quite brilliantly. It handles hot and cold liquids well, and makes taking your drinks wherever you go easy and pain-free. Unfortunately, the lid made a nearly-perfect bottle not entirely perfect in the end.
