Whether you prefer specialty coffee, iced coffee, dark roast coffee or even anything a step above instant coffee, any of the above will help you explore new ways to enjoy great coffee. And for coffee enthusiasts, that's really what life is all about. As Johann Sebastian Bach said, "Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat." Don't be a dried up piece of roast goat -- make a good cup of coffee.

One downfall for backpackers, though, is that this bottle will never return to its dry weight while you're on foot. It's impossible to squeeze all of the water out of the bottle, so expect it to add some weight to your pack after the first use. 

The Sawyer Select bottle is made of BPA-free silicone, and the interior is foam. The various caps, as well as the external micron filter, are made of BPA-free plastic. The micron filter itself is a hollow fiber membrane. The bottle is squishy, but it still feels relatively sturdy. If you loved this post and you would like to obtain far more info pertaining to Warm White 3000K Kitchen Cabinet Strip Lights kindly check out our own webpage.  

Filling up at a stream, lake or river is dangerous even if the water looks clean and clear, but the LifeStraw Go allows you to do so without risk of infection. Even if you don't camp or hike, the Lifestraw Go offers peace of mind when you fill up at a public sink or water fountain. You can learn more about the brand and the technology behind the products on the manufacturer's website.

Filtering: What filtering mechanism was used and how well did the bottle filter the water? Were there any particles left in the water after filtering? Water "after filtering" means the water that comes out of the drinking spout or straw.

Getty Images If you're especially worried about lead, one easy way to mitigate that risk is to simply run the tap water a few minutes before using it.
