Advantages of Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Stainless steel water bottles are great for keeping your water cold all day. Here are the things we love most about our stainless steel water bottles.

Easy to Clean

Stainless steel water bottles are easy to clean and some are even dishwasher safe. No matter how you’re cleaning your bottle, it’s crucial to take it apart completely, even the lid and straw. This helps ensure there’s no built-up bacteria in the nooks and crannies of your favorite bottle.

When searching for your perfect water bottle always double-check the care instructions on the packaging.

BPA and Phthalate-Free

Stainless steel is a natural material which means that water bottles made from it are free from toxins like BPA and Phthalate, which are known to cause hormonal and development problems. This is especially important if you frequently leave your bottle sitting in the hot sun. No need to worry about melting plastics leaking into your beverage of choice.

Sustainable

Water bottles made from stainless steel are more sustainable. Mostly because they last longer, but also because when they do hit the end of their life they are recyclable!

In fact, by using a reusable water bottle, you can save an average of 156 plastic bottles annually. As a reusable drinkware company, sustainability is grounded in BrüMate's roots. Learn more about BrüMate's pledge to sustainability and how our products are Made For Tomorrow.

Leakproof

Convenience is a must when it comes to choosing a daily water bottle. Luckily, most stainless steel bottles are vacuum sealed making them completely leakproof. This makes it easy to throw your BrüMate water bottle into your gym bag or backpack on your way out the door.

Triple-Wall Insulation

Stainless steel usually means triple-wall insulation! This technology keeps cold things cold, hot things hot, and in some cases, carbonated things sparkling.

The best part is that the insulation omits most condensation or sweating from the outside of your bottle. If you’re looking for a stainless steel water bottle that can keep you going all day long.

No Metal Taste

Older stainless steel water bottles are known for leaving an undesirable metal taste in the bottle. However, newer bottles are specifically designed to have all the benefits of a stainless steel bottle like keeping your favorite beverage hot or cold for hours without the horrible after taste! We’ll cheers to that!

Disadvantages of Stainless Steel Water Bottles

While we love stainless steel water bottles, we know we might be a little biased. Here are some potential cons.

Price

Stainless steel water bottles tend to be more expensive than plastic ones. This is often because of the quality and sustainability components that go into creating the bottles. Despite the higher ticket price, they’re often more durable and last longer!

Heavy

Stainless steel water bottles will be heavier than plastic ones. This is a function of the double and triple insulation that often comes with stainless steel bottles. However, it’s also what helps keep your water and beverages at the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last!

Can Dent

Stainless steel water bottles can be prone to denting, especially if they’re made with one wall of insulation. BrüMate water bottles are triple-insulated, so they’re able to withstand some significant drops.
