BEST HOT/COLD OPTION DRINK BOTTLE

This Yeti bottle is perfect if you’re after a drink bottle made to last. Crafted from puncture and rust-resistant 18/8 stainless steel, it is also ideal for keeping your water icy cold or tea scorching hot. At 769ml, it is an excellent size for a hike or to sit on the office desk. And while the handle is not made from stainless steel, it is still shatter-resistant. As a handy bonus, the bottle is dishwasher-safe.

From over 18,000 reviews on Google Reviews, this bottle is currently sitting at 4.7 stars. One five-star review titled “THE ONLY WATER BOTTLE YOU WILL EVER NEED,” says it all. The happy customer says, “The lid is simple, and easily comes on and off with every use. The handle makes it convenient to carry without it swinging around everywhere... After going through dozens of bottles for years, I feel like I’ve found the holy grail.”

Another loves how well it holds heat saying, “it also keeps my coffee between hot and warm up to four hours, as long as I don’t let it sit with the top twisted open. Accidentally left it in the car one morning and it was still drinkable six hours later.”

This bottle is also a favourite of Hannah Paine, Senior Ecommerce Writer and Content Amplification at news.com.au. “I really love the Yeti drink bottles – They’re easy to clean and very sturdy, plus you can put them in the dishwasher,” says Hannah.

Featuring high-quality stainless steel vacuum insulation, this bottle will keep your beverage at the ideal temperature. It has a tight-fitted flip-open lid with a handy safety lock that prevents it from opening accidentally. The lid and stopper can also be disassembled for cleaning.

Crafted from BPA-free plastic and stainless steel, there is no question of durability. With a wide mouth that can fit the largest of ice cubes, this is a purchase you won’t regret.

Over 17,800 customers give this sleek bottle five stars on Amazon. Overall, reviewers love the functionality of the bottle.

“The whole assembly can but separated for cleaning, and the flask uses a double-walled stainless steel body to keep your hot liquids hotter for longer. I have bought cheap flasks that look similar, but end up throwing them away,” said one five-star review.

Others rave about the heat retention. One five-star review says, “The claims of 8-hour plus heat retention are absolutely true, and sometimes I’ll make my scorching hot black coffee the night before so it’s the perfect temperature when I get to work the next morning.”

This double-walled stainless steel bottle is one of the hardest working out there. It will keep your drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12, you can’t get much better than that. The double walls mean that condensation is not an issue and there will be no water on the outside to wet the inside of your bag or hands.

With a 500ml capacity, it is a great size to carry around in your work bag and should fit in most cup holders too. Crafted from non-toxic, non-leaching and BPA-free materials, this is a purchase that is as good for you as it is for the environment.

Over 2,900 customers on Amazon have rated this drink bottle five stars. One five-star review was impressed with its durability saying, “I dropped it within days of receiving it, onto a hard floor – was relieved to note when examining it afterwards that it was barely scratched at all (you’d have to know to look for the marks), and no dents either.”

Most reviewers comment on how well the bottle keeps water cold all day. One said, “it keeps my water cold all day! It is such a luxury opening up your water bottle mid-workout and sipping nice COLD water.” While another remarked, “I left mine in the car overnight when SW Ontario temps were in the high 30s°C and my water was still ice cold the next day.”

If you’re an avid TikTok user then no doubt you would have seen countless videos of this best-selling product. The #frankgreen has a whopping 125.3 million views on the video-sharing platform, which for context is almost five times the population of Australia.

Available in three sizes, 595ml, one litre and two litre these bottles are definitely worth the hype. Crafted with hand-polished stainless steel and ceramic lined for a better taste experience, this bottle is at the top of the line. The insulated multi-award-winning design will also keep your drink hot or cold for hours. Customers can also pick from a straw design or push button lid.

To top it all off, the drink bottle itself is uber chic.

If you don’t believe the 125 million fans on TikTok then I’m not sure what else is there to say but honestly, this is truly a buy you won’t regret.

I must confess I am also Frank Green obsessed. I not only have two of their reusable cups and a food container but also two of their drinks bottles, one in each size. While I, of course, love the look of the bottles, I also love how functional they are. I use the one-litre size most days and bring it to and from work while the smaller size is great for popping in my cup holder in the car when I am out and about.

Affiliate Content Manager at news.com.au, Leela Landers is also a fan. “The ceramic lining actually works; 12 hours of cold water in summer is life-giving,” she says. “The straw is a real game changer, no more tilting my head in bed and spilling water. The 595ml is the perfect size for hydration and easy to carry around all day.”

This drink bottle is a favourite of Marina Tatas, Best of Shopping Writer at news.com.au. “I’ve tried a bunch of reusable drink bottles and nothing keeps my water tasting cold and fresh like this one.

Another five-star review is titled, “My long-lost quest for the perfect water bottle is OVER!” The review says, “I typically go for the straw type lid, but this spout is SO great & super leakproof. I love that it stays clean under the spout cap & nothing you put your mouth on is exposed to the world at all times like my straw or other sipping water bottles.”

Crafted from a highly durable and lightweight plastic made from 50 per cent recycled material, this is a perfect lightweight option for your next outdoor activity. From hiking to kayaking, you won’t feel weighed down with this in your backpack.

This bottle comes with a not only stylish but practical sleeve to protect the glass bottle from any mishaps. Made from a food-grade high-impact resistance silicone sleeve, the glass is ready for whatever is thrown at it.

Another said, “Pretty much unbreakable, and doesn’t show any issues in the dishwasher.”

BEST DRINK BOTTLE FOR YOUR HANDBAG

As much as we all love our big bottles for work or workouts, sometimes we really just need a smaller one. And yes, to state the obvious, they can’t carry as much water but speaking from experience sometimes when you’re out and about you really just need a couple of sips anyway.

Made from durable BPA free tritan plastic, this bottle is not only dishwasher safe but also hot water and freezer safe too. The slimline style means it can effortlessly slide into your bag without taking up too much space.

“I was afraid it was too small but in fact, it is perfect for the city!” says one five-star review.

Another happy customer said, “Of all the various water bottles I have purchased throughout the years this one quickly became my favourite. It’s super cute, sturdy and extremely portable.”

BEST DRINK BOTTLE FOR ATHLETES

This 500ml bottle is a great option for runners. With double-wall insulation to keep it cool as well as a hi-visibility reflective fabric to keep you safe on the road, this purchase is a no-brainer. Runners will love the fully-adjustable hand strap and the large expandable zippered pocket for a phone and keys.

One five-star reviewer who used to run with a backpack gave this one a go and has never looked back. “After testing it I must say that it has convinced me 100 per cent,” they said. According to this runner, they are many advantages. “The bottle is thermostatic, so it can hold relatively fresh water (at least the first kilometres), and the volume is perfect for a medium distance output. The pocket is an addition, to be able to carry keys, money … I even fit my galaxy S7.”

Another runner gave a five-star review saying, “I bought this while marathon training to take with me whenever I travelled so I could still go for long runs. It was great. It fits into any bag and still carries enough liquid (and keeps it cool!) for long runs.”

Designed for when you’re on the move, whether out in nature or simply at the office, it is small enough to take anywhere. The Go Berkey is one of the most powerful filtration systems available right now and filters 99.9 per cent of bacteria and viruses as well as other contaminants like lead.

79 per cent of reviews on Amazon give this product five stars. One says, “An affordable way to convert tap water, or other sources of water into lovely clean drinking water is a treat that I had not imagined.”

Another five star review remarks that they “love the way the water tastes and found it very easy to set up.”

I’ll be the first to admit that when I first saw this product I was a bit sceptical, does a drink bottle really need to be techy? But this one is worth every cent.

Every hour the bottle will glow to remind you to drink water which I know I could definitely use. It also includes a built-in Bluetooth speaker making it perfect for a picnic, hanging by the pool or camping. Save space and leave your other speaker at home.

“I was looking for a smart water bottle because I hate drinking water and only do it when pushed. It’s so cool to see the hourly light up reminder to drink water. My favourite feature is the straw/mouth is covered, so I don’t have to worry about dirty stuff getting on the straw and that it locks so you don’t have to worry about it popping open,” says one five-star review.

Others on Amazon also love the speaker and how effective it is. “The speaker is very loud and clear, and the lights will dance to the music. I would say it is a great product when you are doing [a] work out. My friends and I were so surprised that such a small speaker could be heard a few rooms away,” says one review. Others were also surprised about the volume of the speaker saying, “the speaker is really better then I thought it would be.”

At the complete other end of the spectrum, this is your basic water bottle without all the whistles. And although it may not have a timer or speaker, it is designed with double walled vacuum insulation so it keeps your water cool. And at the end of the day, isn’t that all you really need?

Most reviews on Amazon love how well the bottle regulates temperature. “It’ll take two cups of coffee or tea, hot for 4-5 hours (pleasantly warm for 8),” says one five-star review. Another similarly says, “One evening I made myself tea in it and forgot. The next day around 4pm it was still warm! 100 per cent recommend.”

Another five star review says, “This is the perfect size drink bottle for my son to take to kindy.”
