Customer Reviews for Brita Premium 26 oz. Coral Filtering Water Bottle, BPA Free

bought 5 of these water bottles. 4 of them are working out great but 1 the mouth piece has completely molded. They get washed regularly so I don't understand what has happened with this one water bottle.

The Brita bottle is convenient, easy to hold in my hand and the filter makes the water taste great. This is one of the Best Buy’s I’ve made all year, I should have purchased it sooner.

One of the best gift for anyone in Houston for summer is this amazing water bottle. After a long hot day, nothing is better than a long sip of filtered water from Brita water bottle. It is convenient to carry, in lunch bags or back packs to work or school. It can also be used while exercising. The Brita water bottle makes it extremely easy to drink water when thirsty. I am happy with the acquisition and completely recommend it.

Brita Premium 26 oz. Coral Filtering Water Bottle works as a great portable water bottle to have filtered water away from home. I do not like city water and am happy to be able to take my Brita filter bottle to work without having to carrying water each day from home. It really lightens my load and allows me to drink more throughout the day. My dislike about this bottle is that a couple places I go frequently have softener water and I can still taste the salt in the water when filling this bottle. The directions are written clearly for use. I show in video and pictures how easy it is to begin use. The filter just needs to be rinsed as directed under running water to initially start using. Easy peasy! Straw is soft and allows for good sized drinks and requires a slight increase in sucking than normal straws to pass the water through the filter straw.

I’ve been enjoying using my new Brita Filtering water bottle. It was easy to assemble the carbon filter into the internal plastic straw and attach the plastic straw/carbon filter to the bottom of the bottle lid. I like the spring-loaded bottle closing cap which pops open with a push of a button. This is a handy feature when staying hydrated during a car trip. It is easy to taste the difference of the water with the chlorine removed. I like to fill my bottle half full of ice along with the water. With ice, the water tastes like it is coming from a clear mountain stream. I would recommend the Brita water filtering bottle to anyone one who wants to improve the taste of their water.

I chose the Brita Premium 26 oz. Sapphire Filtering Water Bottle for my daughter. She is a high school varsity basketball player who absolutely needs to keep hydrated. So, when I saw this Brita brand water bottle that also filters the water, I grabbed it. Needless to say, the water that is available to her at practice comes directly from old pipes, that I can't help but think effect the taste of the water. However, with the Brita Premium 26 oz. Sapphire Filtering Water Bottle, the water tastes great. As a result, I think she will drink more. So, if you are in the market for a great water bottle, I highly suggest this one. It's worth the extra price.

Well-designed, dishwasher-safe 26 oz. BPA-free filter bottle with some thoughtful features, like a spring-hinge lid that opens with one hand, flexible carry strap, built-in straw, and truly leak-proof top (mine sat on its side all day, didn't spill a drop). Uses an inexpensive and easily replaced carbon filter to remove chlorine taste and Class VI impurities (basically particulates that might be in tap water). Not what you're looking for if you're expecting to purify contaminated water, but perfect if you'd just like to save some money by drinking tap water without the nasty taste. Only one very minor nitpick -- the intake tube can retain water, so be careful that it doesn't download on you when you pull it out to refill the bottle. Otherwise, definitely recommended.

We have a Brita filtering pitcher, and it's worked very well for us, so I took the opportunity to check out the premium filtering water bottle. The bottle has a built-in straw, and the filter fits into that, so you can't use it like a pitcher (fill it and then pour the filtered water back out). The water filters as it is drawn back up through the straw. The filter can handle up to 40 gallons of water before requiring replacement. The assembly (except, of course, the filter) is top-rack rated for dishwashers. I prefer to wash the unit by hand and air dry between uses. YMMV. There's a spring loaded flip top to cover the straw, which is nice because you can grab a quick drink using only one hand. I've tried the bottle in every-which position, and it hasn't leaked. It's cup holder friendly in my 4x4, and there's a swivel handle on the top of the bottle for carrying. I make the base to be about 2 7/8”; if your cup holder is smaller than that you may want to check the specs. It's a bottle, not a 'thermos', so water doesn't stay cold in warm temperatures. It's also not rated for adding flavoring to the water - it's for water only. Ice can be added and won't damage the filter. I haven't tried adding a lemon slice to the water, but I suspect that the lemon particles would do no favors for the filter. The filter is for removing the taste of chlorine and small particles from tap water (greater than 50 microns in size; I looked that part up). It's not designed for removing bacteria or microbes or filtering non-potable water. You can't use it like you would iodine or Halazone tablets in a canteen. In use, it performs that function quite well - the water coming up through the straw is as fresh tasting as the water we get from our Brita pitcher. One issue - and the reason for the 4 star review instead of a 5 - is that the straw is hard to drink out of. It requires more suction than I think it should (YMMV). It's not impossible to draw the water, but it definitely requires a noticeable effort. I expect a bit of resistance but had not expected this much. You can't get a quick 'gulp' of water, it has to be drawn up slower than gulping. Brita lists it as "easy-sip" but for me it's "hard-draw". Of course this will vary from person to person but it's the one drawback I've found with the Brita. That being said, the beauty of the Brita bottle is that it replaces a bunch load of plastic water bottles (Brita claims 300 of the 16.9oz bottles) and that's good for the environment and for my back - loading cases of full water bottles into my 4x4 is not my favorite thing to do. HTH Regards, Jim

A Very Nice Water bottle! I used this water bottle a couple of times before my wife took it from me. She loves it and I enjoy it as well. We enjoy the fact that it comes with its own water filter. We love that we can take one more extra precaution with our drinking water without compromising the taste. Its a lot easier to fill it up anywhere and feel at ease that our drinking water is being filtered. the bottle is easy to drink from. It is leak free and dish washer safe. There is no problem assembling and disassembling the bottle to clean it. My wife likes the fact that the drinking straw is always covered when not being used which helps keep it clean and free of dust. Five stars all the way for Brita for this one.

I have owned several Britta water filters over the years and I love the ones for home use. So when I saw a 26 ounce bottle Britta I thought wow, that would be handy. I can monitor my water intake and have great filtered water without buying a lot of plastic bottles. I like the color, although there are several to choose from. I had a bit of a learning curve but not to install the filter, that was very similar to other Brittas. Ironically, I had to learn how to drink from the bottle. Most drinking bottles you open the top and pour into your mouth. However, the Britta uses a straw-like nozzle that you suck from. A little strange at first, unless you are a straw drinker. I was not, but the filtering comes up the straw and the water is excellent. This is a nice compact filter and should last a month or two easily. It doesn’t leak if you use it correctly, but my first experience left me wet because I didn’t realize there is a small air hole that lets you continuously suck water. Smart, when used properly. It is also easy to clean. I’m very happy with it and will use daily.

The water bottle that I received is a very pretty transparent orange color. It has a flexible loop at the top so it’s easy to carry. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. A filter is included and will last 2 months. The bottle holds 28 ounces (3.5 cups) of water. Do NOT use hot water in the bottle. There is no odd taste, even the first time. The lid screws on and the cap snaps securely into place. In order to open the cap, you have to press a tab so there’s no accidentally opening it. You suck on the straw; the water doesn’t pour out. Do NOT tip the bottle completely upside down as there’s an air hole to facilitate exchange of air/water and it will drip on you if held completely veritical. The bottle all by itself weighs just under 8 ounces. The entire bottle (except the filter, of course) is top rack dishwasher safe. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you have to suck fairly strongly to get the water up and through the straw.

The filter needs to be washed thoroughly before using. If it is not you will get a slightly nasty taste in your mouth along with what looks like charcoal particles. Other than that, this is some of the best filtered water I have ever tasted. Very refreshing and thirst quenching. I'm going to grab another one for my wife but I'm going to make sure that I rinse of the filter before installation.

Perfect replacement water bottle for our badly dented and well worn aluminum water bottle. What makes this a perfect replacement bottle is the fact you can actually see how much remaining contents are in the bottle before taking off for a run. Built in carrying ring, built-in straw, but more importantly easy to draw water then ease of snapping the cap back on. Given reasonable care this Brita water bottle will remain durable for years and years. Thank you Brita and Home Depot!

Extremely difficult to suck the water out of the straw. It's a workout

The filter was not in the bottle

Haven't used it yet, but have water pitcher in fridge. Am satisfied!

Easy assembly and doesn’t leak. So far i’m really satisfied and i think it’s worth the price.

Best water bottle I ever bought !

I bought it for my mom, she doesn’t much water a day. This bottle is great for her to carry Around with her. It’s easy and light weight bottle, It would be good to have extra replace filters.

Used this on my trip to Bali and it worked great. Like that it’s 26oz and has a flip top. Easy to carry.
