HydracyFruit Infuser Water Bottle - 1 Litre Sport Bottle with Full Length Infusion Rod, Time Mark and Sleeve Combo Set + 27 Fruit Infused Water Recipes eBook Gift - Deep Purple

Apart from during the hottest summer days (both of them!) I struggle to drink water. Though the eight glasses a day requirement turns out to be a myth, we should ideally be drinking enough to rehydrate us. I rely on tea, albeit every second mug being redbush, which isn't ideal. I tried recently to make fruit infused water by simply putting some orange slices in a bottle then couldn't find a colander to strain it and ended up fishing the orange pieces out with a fork. I wondered if there was a specific infuser bottle on the market and a second's research brought me to this. It's ideal as you can remove the fruit and drink the liquid straight from the bottle. (It's a good idea to remove oranges after three hours as otherwise the rind gives the drink a bitter taste.) This is an attractive, sturdy looking bottle which comes with instructions. It's boxed, so I might buy a second one as a birthday present for my bloke. The company sends a few recipe suggestions but, as they involve more than one ingredient, I am unlikely to get sufficiently organised to try them!

Pros:-Quality materials & aesthetic design.-Large, full-length infuser chamber.-No leaking (as of yet).-Easy handling and cleaning.-Simple clip lock for extra security.-Sleeve is good quality and covers most of the bottle.Cons:-Mild, strange plastic taste/smell that takes a few washes to go.-I mainly bought this bottle for it's straw-like mouthpiece, to prevent damage to my teeth from the fruit acid, however the mouthpiece is far too wide to use as a straw behind your teeth.-Lid can catch your fingers if you're holding it by/near the base of the lid while you press the button to open it.-As with any infuser, when the bottle gets less full, the fruit can get stuck upstream in the chamber & therefore it is no longer infusing the water. I recommend chopping your fruit into very small pieces to help it flow down.Overall, very good value with only minor flaws. Hopefully it has no issues with leaking in the future, if it does I will update.

I am actually quite disappointed with this product, especially for the price. I put fruit inside mine and you get mouthfuls of pips and flest as the top of the fruit pillar has large holes. I also find this difficult to clean as there are many ridges in the design and seals which can easily cause mould. There was no bottle brush in the box. I don't find the sleeve keep the drink any cooler than previous bottles I have had. I would not recommend this product.

Received mine yesterday and have already drunk 2 litres of lemon infused water!!I have just started a new training regime with a Personal Trainer and knew he was going to tell me I needed to drink more water. I have never been good at that so decided to look for a water bottle with an infuser. I trawled through many ads until I got to this one. It ticked the boxes on my list. It was a 1 litre bottle, the infuser basket goes almost to the bottom of the bottle, it has easy hold grips so less likely to drop, easy open lid and secure clip so no accidental spillage. It also comes with its own little neoprene jacket to keep the contents chilled longer. Especially good when I added crushed ice! The mouthpiece is easy to use unlike some strawlike openings of other bottles. I have made up another litre in the fridge ready for this mornings gym session. I am also going to try the pineapple, mango and mint infusion later! Perfect for keeping hydrated but also soo much healthier. I know already this purchase was one of the best decisions I have made on my healthier lifestyle journey. I would 100% recommend this product. My only sadness is that I didn't order the lime green one as that's my favourite colour!!

I love this cup, having fresh fruit, or even using frozen fruit makes the water refreshing with extra nutrients. My only issue with it is that due to the large gaps in the basket, particularly at the top, smaller fruits or bits can unexpectedly get in your mouth. Not a big problem, but having a for between the to of the basket and the sip loud could have fixed this.
