Klean Kanteen

First things first: I bought this item, it's not a 'honest review' type review. General: Wow! This is a wonderful piece of simple but elegant engineering. Entirely stainless (food grade) with that brushed finish which I personally prefer to the shiny. I don't know for sure but I believe brushed is easily to grip (this bottle is pretty big and wide) and I won't be as obsessive with fingermarks as I would be with a mirror finish item. The mouth is very wide so I don't advise drinking while walking. Ice cubes go in super easy if you want to keep your drink colder for longer. Lid: The lid is (non-BPA) plastic, very strong and rigid, with stainless inside so that when the bottle is closed there is no plastic touching the contents. The lid also houses a silicon seal ring which has a pull-tab to help remove it (nice touch!) for easy cleaning - no more poking a knife point into a gaps to get the seal out for cleaning! Technically because the silicon ring seals the lid tight a tiny bit of it may contact your drink inside - I don't know how to test this but it will be tiny and this is no different to any other leak-proof bottle as far as I know. There are currently 2 other lids that fit this - the cafe lid (may be easier to drink out of on-the-move) and a flat lid with a flip D-cup ring. The website says the bottle is compatible with backcountry water filters. Safety: Obviously this is not designed for hot drinks/soup as it's not a vacuum flask but you could put cold soup (or whatever) in to heat up at your destination. Klean Kanteen say you can boil water ("at a pinch" AKA survival) in this particular bottle (wide mouth, brushed finish, non-vac) over a camp stove so long as the lid is off but that will effect the finish - that would be a shame, this bottle is sexy! This bottle has no BPA, no aluminium, no liners, no paint. You can use it for acidic fruit juices, milk and alcohol. It is dishwasher safe but not freezer or microwave safe. Check out the FAQ on Klean Kanteen's website. Notes: I'd prefer chunky ridges on the lid for opening/closing but having said that I have not struggled and you do not need to screw it on super tight. Also the large hoop on the lid could be utilised if you struggled. But that's a really minor point. The Tatonka Stainless Steel mug fits over this very nicely indeed Tatonka Stainless Steel Handle Mug which I will be reviewing next.

This is a review of the 40oz / 1182ml Wide Klean Kanteen These bottles are great. Lightweight, compact, excellent quality and materials. The interior of the supplied cap is 18/8 steel (meaning the full interior of the bottle is 100% stainless steel). Easy to clean and very very tough. These bottles, in various sizes, accompanied me through Mexico from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic and also while touring round Europe on my bicycle! Lovely piece of kit. When I'm not cycling around like a nutcase, I use them to store used cooking oil in the fridge!!! The standard cap is fully leak-proof, although one of the optional caps is not (the Café Cap). Incidentally, a couple of other reviews/comments have suggested that using this bottle on a fire or stove may breach the warranty. This is incorrect. This is what Klean Kanteen says: "...single-walled Kanteen® Classic and Wide bottles with the Brushed Stainless finish can be placed on a fire or a stove as long as you take the cap off. Do not do this with a colored bottle, as it will damage the paint." Just don't leave the cap on or do this with one of the insulated bottles, as you could create something quite explosive and dangerous due to pressure build-up, as well as voiding your warranty. So, just to reiterate, it is fine to use the single-walled stainless bottle over an open fire as long as you remove the cap first. Specification for 40oz (1182ml) capacity bottle: Height without cap - 220mm Height with cap - 255mm Diameter - 89mm Weight without cap - 209g Weight of supplied cap (optional caps vary) - 46g Just in case the penny has not yet dropped, I absolutely love these bottles. Thoroughly recommended and great value in my opinion.

I've found this bottle perfect for my needs over the last 3 months. I needed a metal bottle that could take a moderate beating, and was easy to clean and inspect inside (since I find smaller necked bottles harder to look into and clean). Cleaning: The water inside tastes fresh and to my knowledge is only every in contact with the stainless steel of the bottle, with even the cap having a steel top inside of the rubber waterproofing ring so that no plastic touches your water. The bottle is very well designed for cleanliness, with a continuous steel wall all the way around except for a seam at the bottom of the screw on portion, which is very positioned for easy cleaning and away from the water. The rubber sealing ring has a large tab allowing easy pulling out for cleaning. Hardwearing: The steel bottle, being steel, is also quite hardwearing and I am happy with its structural integrity even after a few knocks, though the bottle is purely one thin layer of steel so your mileage may vary. Points to consider: while this bottle is perfect for my needs, the following may be concerns for those who are more 50/50: 1. The wide mouth means that there is always room in the mouthpiece for water to slosh out of the bottle when drinking - not great for drinking while running or driving 2. The steel nature of the bottle means it is not insulated - hot drinks will make the bottle very hot and can burn you through the steel, and cold drinks can cause condensation if they are very cold 3. Check the dimensions of the bottle - it is quite big!

Ottima bottiglia di acciaio, molto robusta e perfettamente rifinita. La consiglio per l’ottima qualità.

素朴で質素ですが、材質が良く丁寧に作られてあり、 飲みやすくて洗いやすい、そんな製品です。 なんだか可愛くなってきました。 家でも車でも緊急用に満タンで、傍にあります。 ここは田舎、 美味しい水道水を入れてずっと使っていく予定です。

Un prodotto "BORN IN THE USA" di nome e di fatto. Essenziale, leggero, ben fatto. Un altro mondo rispetto alle borracce della Ferrino in alluminio. E' leggermente più panciuto rispetto ad altre borracce ma davvero imbattibile. Alcune settimane fa mi è caduta sull'asfalto dopo averla riempita ad una fontanella pubblica. Si è leggermente ammaccata sul bordo inferiore senza fare macchie o altro. Se avessi avuto quella vecchia, l'avrei distrutta o resa inutilizzabile perchè il rivestimento interno sull'alluminio si sarebbe danneggiato. Imbattibile per trekking o lavoro. Il design è "nudo e crudo". Unico neo è che si tratta di acciaio che, se trasportato esterno allo zaino tende a scaldare abbastanza facilmente. Per me nessun problema perchè la ripongo sempre all'interno.

Jag köpte produkten utifrån bilden, men leveransen var inte samma produkt. Det gjorde mig besviken.

I ordered this one the Klean Kanteen insulated water bottle but received the single-wall version instead. While the bottle is sturdy and well-made, it doesn’t meet my needs for keeping beverages hot or cold. Disappointed with the mix-up.
