Water bottle details

My Embrava water bottle.

Embrava water bottles are my go to because of the little details.

Water bottles were a fun topic to argue about with designers and people who've searched for good ones. All water bottles have one job, but the nuances between them make it easy to love or hate them.

This post isn't sponsored, I just want to highlight the thoughtfulness of this design.

They're made from recycled, BPA-free co-polyester plastic called Tritan, which is produced by Eastman Chemical Company.  This recycled plastic is tougher than polypropylene (PP) which is common with other reusable water bottles.

The diameter fits within cup holders and it forms well in the hand. There's a strap which comes off for cleaning and snaps back on with a little effort. There are no tiny crevasses that are hard to clean.

The locking mechanism forms around the button on the front released the double-sealed lid. It's spill and debris-proof.

There's an ice catcher inside which can also be used to catch fruit or cucumber if you're into that sort of thing.

The downside is that it isn't insulated, but my priorities are how easy it is to clean and how easy it is to open or close with one hand.

One of my classmates abided by her water bottle, an Owala. She advocated for Owala bottles in a similar way I do for Embrava bottles. In fact, her sales pitch convinced me to buy one for my mom on Mother's Day.

The Owala lid mechanism was similar, but these are made from stainless steel. It also has a removable straw and an opening to refill your bottle without taking the lid off. The bold and modern style also makes them appealing.

Owala would be my favorite over Embrava, except the Owala doesn't fit in my car's cup holder. It's about 0.1" too wide.

I could ramble about water bottles all day. The point is that small things drastically change how we feel about water bottles, or any product.

If you believe in detail, you believe that small change can make a big impact.
