Where can I get a good quality drinking container with a pop up lid (I’m Australian)?
I used to use $2 water bottles from the supermarket but over time the plastic degrades and gets in the water so it is not very healthy and don’t want to keep on buying them.
I want it for work so it has to have a pop up lid for convenience. Unscrewing a cap is too much hassle and risk of spilling.
I use my filtered water from home – don’t want to drink tap water at work and I can only grab a drink every 2 hours during my break, except for the water I take with me. I’d like a container that holds approx 1 litre (2 500ml containers would also be fine).
I’ve tried a few camping shops but they don’t have them with pop-up lids.
I live in Australia but I don’t mind mail-ordering. Couldn’t find them in a quick google search.
They must be reasonable quality with minimal leaching.
Kleen Kanteen bottles have a great reputation and look as though you can buy different tops for them. Not sure if they’re pop top though.
Try here to find a dealer and take a look at the pictures of them: http://www.kleankanteen.com/4retailers/online_dealer.html
I bought my girl a sigg bottle and it has a pop top that twists up. Do a search for ‘sigg water bottles’ and take a look at the search results – you’ll find something. Check out the sports range – they usually have the pop tops. There is some question about sigg – they are swiss made but do have some sort of plastic lining inside. They have been individually tested and apparently are safe go to http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/08/bisphenol_a_and.php fo more info. The only other advice I can give you is to always look at sport bottles or ranges as they usually have the pop tops.
