This is a well-made, perfectly designed stainless steel water bottle. The wide mouth is unique and feels like a big step in the design evolution for these kinds of stainless steel water bottles. Easier to clean and the cap covers the threads and opening, where your mouth touches. This helps keeps it clean and sanitary. The wide mouth also allows you to put in ice cubes.
I did notice a slight metallic taste the first time I used it, so I immediately washed it again gently, but thoroughly. Then I didn't notice any taste after that. Water just tastes crisp and clean, like it should.
Some color and print design options would be nice, though. Right now the bottle is mainly functional over fashionable. But the bottle itself is seems well made with high-quality materials. It's been a few months now and I see no sign of wear at all. A reviewer said they noticed algae in their bottle. My guess is it's probably just from leaving water sit in the bottle with with lid closed a few days or weeks. Any container will probably do that. I usually empty the bottle at the end of the day, so there's not liquids sitting in it overnight. Although there were a few times I forgot about my filled bottle for a few days, and still there wasn't any problem.
I picked it up at my local Whole Foods where they had pretty much every size in this line at reasonable prices.
