General Facts About Stainless Steel Water Bottles

  • Most are made of 18/8 food-grade stainless steel (Guyot Designs uses 18/10 surgical grade stainless steel).
  • They are made in China. Most companies claim that their bottles are made “responsibly” in China.
  • Since most stainless steel water bottles are not insulated, they are not good for hot liquids (This can be overcome by using an insulating tote).
  • Freezing is not recommended
  • Drinking out of stainless steel may seem quite different at first, but accustoming oneself to this material does not take long.
  • Stainless steel doesn’t insulate very well and will sweat, but this is no different than a plastic water bottle.
  • Stainless steel water bottles are considerably heavier than single use (Aquafina) water bottles, but only slightly more than a Lexin (Nalgene). For example, a Nalgene 32oz weighs 6.2oz compared to an Earthlust 1-liter (33.8oz) which weighs 7.7oz.
  • Since paint doesn’t stick very well to metals, water bottles that have painted designs can be damaged if not used with care.
  • Since Stainless Steel contains nickel, those that are allergic should avoid stainless steel water bottles
