Contigo Water Bottle

GSI Outdoors H2JO! Percolator

Bought this months ago, and now that I''ve used it on a few camping trips I love it. I bought a Nalgene wide mouth bottle to go with it, and it''s now the dedicated coffee bottle since the plastic retains the coffee flavor and anything you put in the bottle after tastes like coffee. You could probably get the taste out by cleaning the bottle with boiling water, but I''ve never bothered.

No matter which method you use (the packaging explains 2 ways to use it) you WILL get some grounds in your coffee...If you''re the type who camps and uses simple methods like this it probably won''t bother you, I don''t mind. The directions specify "coarse ground" coffee which I cannot find pre-ground, so I go to the supermarket that has a coffee grinder.

All in all it has lived up to expectations and works as advertised.

If no grounds ended up in the coffee I''d give it 5 stars.

Overall a good device for a wide opening bottle. The lid has leaked a little, but it might be because the hot water changes the lid to mouth connection. I noticed when I put alot of torque on the device to the bottle and to the lid to the device, it doesn''t leak.

This is my second H2Jo. I got this one for my wife because I loved mine so much, and because we go on at least a few trips with large groups each year. Two H2Jos keep the coffee flowing freely even with 16+ drinkers one is perking while the other is pouring and there are two pots of water heating up for the next round, try doing that with a traditional percolator. When I''m alone I always do the Cowboy method because I like my coffee strong, and carrying the grounds in the bottle when hiking means that I don''t have to use a seperate container for coffee on one-nighters. The only con is that the screen is a bit course for premium ground coffee, we grind our own usually so we just have to remember to leave it a little coarser than usual.

I like fresh brewed coffee so I fill my Klean Kanteen with hot water and then hours later I open it, drop in the GSI H2JO with coffee grounds and let it sit for 2 minutes, give it a little stir and bam, fresh brewed coffee! The H2JO screws snuggly on the Klean Kanteen and the Klean Kanteen lid fits on top of the GSI H2JO. I would say by no means is it drip-proof or a tight seal so that''s why I carry them separate and fit them together when I''m ready for coffee. A Klean Kanteen insulated travel cup and this GSI H2JO would make a perfect gift.

New England Patriots 16oz GameBall Travel Tumbler

I ordered this as a gift for my dad. It looked better then the picture and seemed to be made well.

for the money its a pretty poorly made cup but i suppose it still functions even if I had to glue the logo back on!

EZ-Freeze® Water Bottle 12oz Cool Zooey Fliptops (Styles May Vary)

Love Cool Gear products. I ordered blue, but green came (it says they can change the color). No biggie. Just glad they didn''t send pink or purple.

The only other thing was that the straw came really bent and so my son would get air when trying to drink out of it. I put something in the straw to straighten it out, so it works fine now.

I originally purchased this in pink from the cool gear website not sure if my daughter would use it. My daughter more than use it, she begs to have her pink cat sippy cup all the time. I decided to purchase more to be able to have better rotation for cleaning. I went to cool gear where they no longer offered them. I purchased two from Amazon. They came extremely fast. When I opened thr box, she cooed are those for me. I now have the blue dog and the green frog according to my daughter. Great product that keeps the liquidsa cold when you are out and about.

We picked one up in Japan, thinking this was such a cute and clever product. When I warped the bottom portion in our dishwasher, I discovered this is from the USA! My daughter loves it and has been using one since about 13 months. The top straw area can leak if left sideways or upside-down in your diaper bag, but so can our other sippy cups. Because the straw mechanism is a little tough to clean thoroughly, I''d recommend it only for water. Also, the head, neck and straws seem to be fine in a hot dishwasher, but the bottle portion can warp. Otherwise, this has been great for our family.

Stay away from these cups if you want simple. They have 5 maybe 6 parts to take apart to thoroughly clean. Nice concept poor design. I don''t think they are dishwasher safe either. Way to fussy for our family.

Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage (Silver)

Product worked at designed, mounted fine to the handlebars, stays in place great. Takes a standard size water bottle. Works great at a very good price.

I bought this for my 6 1/2 year old daughter believing that having access to her water bottle up front made more sense for her. Easy to grab when we stopped & took breaks needs to be tightened every now & again, but overall, sturdy, shiny & fits her Polar water bottle well thanks!

Bought these for my daughter''s bikes. They attached easily and they do what they are supposed too. Only thing is that if you are using a regular disposable water bottle and once you have drunk it down some, it doesn''t hold it well, but it is metal, so you can bend it some to adjust it. It doesn''t hold some of the bigger water bottles they have.

I purchased this after reading the info and it sounded like it would fit onto a treadmill frame. The reviews were correct about easy assembly . . . that was great, but it was to small of an opening to mount onto treadmill. I think it would work wonderful for a bike though.

Want Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage (Silver) Discount?

I bought two of these, one for each of my children. My son''s handlebar is a smidge thicker than my daughters handlebar and it works fine when using the included spacer. The one I placed on my daughters thinner handlebar keeps on slipping despite using the spacer. I used a 15 cent zip tie to hold it in place and it no longer slips. It does allow us to go on longer bike rides in this extremely hot weather we have been having. I did not really see any better options for the price.

Ultimate Direction 26oz Classic Bottle

Ultimate Direction Classic 26-Ounce Bottle, Granite

I''ve used this Ultimate Direction water bottle since the early 90s. They don''t leak, which is critical for me since I always forget to take the bottles out of my bike''s cages when I shove the bike into the back of my car. The valve is easy to open with your teeth, unlike the small, circular valves made of rubber on some types of bottles. The top has a ring on it: very handy when I yank by bottle out of the cage on a long bike ride. Finally, it has a wide top which makes it easier to fill with ice, and of course clean. I''ve got several of these, both large and small, and the tops are all interchangable so no more hunting for the right top to the right bottle. One note: UD now makes a new valve system called a Kicker Valve (it''s red in color). I''m not a big fan because you have to squeeze so hard to make the water come out, so although it is a good leak-proofed bottle it''s not as good as the "old" Classic Bottle IMHO.

I received this 26-ounce bottle few weeks ago. Ultimate Direction Classic Bottle

Pros: The bottle design is so attractive.

Cons: Awful smells from inside of the bottle.

After received this bottle, I started to fight this smell. It is worst plastic container smell. It combines normal plastic smell and some strong disgusting smells. I soaked it with white vinegar solution (half water half vinegar)for 2 hours. The smell came back right after the bottle was dry. And then, I used baking soda, smell is still same. After that. I have used dish washing detergent and bake soda for overnight. The smell won''t go away. Now, I have opened the lid for about 20 days. This seems to do nothing. This bottle is useless to me.

The labels come attached with the bottle printed "Made in Philippines" and the bottom of the bottle is stamped "Made in Korea". There are few misspelling in the instruction where "valve" spelled as "value".

Final thought, I bought a Thermos Intak Hydration Bottle with Meter, Smoke at same time. It uses Tritan which doesn''t smell at all. It is time to shift to a better bottle material now.

Tacx Tao Bottom Bottle Support

I have both aluminum and carbon water bottles by Tacx Tao and think they are great (hold bottle well and look pretty nice). What''s even better is that the bottom support (basically the only piece that could break) is replaceable. When the bottom of one of my cages broke, it was simple to get this piece and just replace it instead of having to buy a whole new cage.

MLB Boston Red Sox 1-Liter Macho Mug

This mug definitely is macho! Its solid glass & the Red Sox emblem is well attached. Quite a step up from the plastic fan mugs with glued on emblems. My only problem with the mug is how heavy it is. This is not your grandma''s drink mug. You''ll need some wrist strength to drink from it with one hand, especially once its full!
