So you're looking for a reusable bottle? Must have heard that one reusable bottle can save over 1,400 plastic bottles from being bought. Here’s our no-fuss-no-frills edit of the best reusable bottles on the market for hot and cold drinks.
The Practical One
Stojo
The bottle for those who complain about reusable coffee cups leaking in their bag. Stojo's cups are collapsible and take up as much space as an iPhone. There’s a little piece you press into the drinking hole and voila, no leakage. Stojo Brooklyn Cashmere Collapsible Pocket Cup, £11.99, hartsofstur.com
The Arty One
HAY
Yes, the top is plastic, but the beauty of this bottle is that it has the potential to live a double life, meaning there’s no reason to ever throw it away: it's a bottle by day, then a vase/modern home addition/piece of art by night. HAY Sowden Bottle, £29, theunionproject.co.uk
The Fancy One
Smythson x S'well
Access to water is (unfortunately) a luxury - treat it as such by housing it in this marvellously sleek bottle set by S’well and Smythson. The calf leather is a by-product, ‘part of the food chain’ as a Smythson employee explains. This bottle may not be an option for vegans who won’t wear leather, but it sure will last a long time - that’s where the sustainability element comes in. Smythson and S'Well Water Bottle Set, £385, smythson.com
The Self Sufficient One
LARQ
LARQ created the world's first self-cleaning bottle. This bottle is the best option for the health-conscious and the time-poor, as every two hours the water inside filters itself. The technology is all in the head; masked by a sleek exterior, the head houses the portable digital water purification system and the rechargeable lithium polymer battery. LARQ's bottles are chemical, mercury and ozone free, and do not require replacement filters. The Larq Bottle, £95, livelarq.co.uk
The Creative One
Corkcicle x Poketo
Corkcicle and Poketo have collaborated to create "a piece of art for everyday" - a bottle that holds 16oz of liquid, keeps it hot or cold for 12 or 24 hours respectively, and is an accessory in itself. Corkcicle x Poketo Canteen Water Bottle, £35, whitespacehome.co.uk
The Cheap and Cheerful One
Joseph Joseph
Does the trick - your reusable bottle doesn’t have to be a style statement. If you’re looking for a simple and inexpensive bottle, this one’s for you. Joseph Joseph Dot water bottle, £9.60, selfridges.com
The Smart One
Frank Green
Tremendously modern, so much so it looks a bit like a speaker. The button won’t play music but it very much will open the spill-resistant drinking hole. Choose from a small or large size, personalise your colour scheme (button, lid and base) and enjoy the attractive simplicity of it all. Frank Green has suspended UK deliveries whilst the coronavirus ensues, so if this is the reusable cup you want, set a reminder to check on their website for updates when things settle down. Original Reusable Small Cup, £19.99, frankgreen.com
