Best Water Bottles
Reusable water bottles that are both good-looking and functional seem like a necessity in our modern, hydration-obsessed world. But finding the right one to match your personal taste can be a challenge — it depends on what you’re looking for amid the riot of colors, shapes, and features.
After putting in more than 120 hours of research — and testing over 100 bottles since 2014 — we’ve chosen the eight best water bottles in a number of materials and styles. They include our most versatile pick, which has elbowed its way past the more well-known competition, and an inexpensive bottle with a straw, beloved for its functionality in any driving scenario. Whether you’re looking for a bottle to drink from while flying, a glass bottle (if you’re averse to plastic), a tapered bottle, a plastic bottle (if you’re averse to high prices), a fancier bottle, or a stainless steel model, all of our favorite water bottles offer a little extra to anyone who’s annoyed by imperfect hydration.
Why you should trust us
Since we first created this guide, in 2014, we’ve tested more than 100 different bottles over many hundreds of hours. We also spoke with a lot of experts. Given the popularity of metal water bottles, we wanted to get some insight into how that double-walled insulation works. So we called NASA, the best experts on thermodynamics we could think of. Via email, we interviewed Wesley Johnson, a cryogenics research engineer at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.
We also spoke with urban planner Josselyn Ivanov, who wrote her master's thesis on the decline of publicly available water, aka drinking fountains, for MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning. “In the absence of investment and maintenance [in drinking fountains], many people fill the void by hauling around their own personalized infrastructure,” she told us.
And across four different writers (Sam Schild contributed the most recent round of testing, in mid-2022) and nine years of work, we’ve seen more than 100 iterations of the same object. From the hard-plastic Nalgene that steamrolled college campuses in the 2000s to a $5,000-plus Chanel bottle (which looks freshly looted from Blackbeard’s treasure chest), these water bottles all do the same thing
Who this is for the water bottle
Pretty much anyone can benefit from having a water bottle they love. Carrying a reusable water bottle is better for the environment and more cost-effective than buying bottled water. Bottled-water production in the US alone in 2007 required somewhere between 32 million and 54 million barrels of oil, according to a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters (PDF). That’s roughly 2,000 times as much as the energy cost of producing tap water, and bottled water sales in the US have grown to 15 billion gallons in 2020, from 8.76 billion gallons in 2007.
For shoppers, bottled water is also a thousand times more expensive than tap water. Add in the fact that in 2009 nearly half of all bottled water sold in the US was nothing more than pricey, prepackaged tap water (PDF), and it becomes difficult to deny the value of a well-made reusable water bottle.
The most versatile
The spout lid on the Takeya stands out because you can lock it after you flip it open — so it doesn’t hit your face. And when it’s closed, it covers the drinking surface completely. The whole thing twists off to reveal a 2¼-inch-wide mouth opening, so you can add in whatever you like: Load the bottle with ice, add an electrolyte powder, plop in some lemon wedges.
A silicone rubber boot, or base, comes standard on this bottle and prevents it from slipping or making noise on hard surfaces. Takeya also offers a straw lid, which you can purchase separately. We tested
