Sure, we used to drink from public water fountains all the time when we were kids, but these days, we just get a little uneasy with the quality of the water (and that metallic taste certainly never helps the situation either). Good thing for those of us who are always on the move and like to stay hydrated, there’s the bobble Filtered Water Bottle (available at bobble for $10). Made in the US (with a minimal carbon footprint), the bobble Filtered Water Bottle is certified BPA-free and made from recycled plastic (and is in turn fully recyclable). Simply fill up bobble with water and as you squeeze it for a drink, the activated carbon filter’s electro-positive charge draws in impurities, organic contaminants and chemicals. With its simple transparent design and six colorways (filters only), bobble is the one water bottle that ensures clean tasting, odorless drinking water pretty much wherever you are (although we’d suggest filling it up with water from the tap, not straight out of the East River).

When it comes to our favorite cold beverages, we appreciate the added chill that only ice cubes can impart. And with the Iced Caraffe by Officeoriginair (available at FormNation for $28), our drinks stay refreshingly cold from the first pour to the last. Simply fill the Iced Caraffe with water up to the indication level and place it flat in your freezer. Once the ice cubes form around the “spine” on the inside of the carafe, just fill it right up again with water (or your drink of choice), and as your drink begins to cool down, the ice cubes will do their job and naturally release from the inside. Available in a taupe or warm grey color, the Iced Caraffe ensures that every one of your thirst-quenching indulgences will be a frosty one.

Whenever asked at restaurants to choose from sparkling or still water, the editors at DS always request a glass of New York’s finest (tap water). The Vapur Anti-Bottle (available at Vapur for $9) is just one more simple way to limit bottled water usage while actually making life that much easier for you as well. The 16 ounce Anti-Bottle is incredibly portable as you can easily roll it up and compactly store it when not in use. Made from an FDA-approved, BPA-free polymer with an inner layer that’s odor, taste and stain-resistant, the Vapur Anti-Bottle is not only dishwasher safe, but also can be safely frozen. And with each Vapur purchase, your support helps further water-related environmental causes as Vapur participates in 1% For The Planet, among other environmentally conscious measures.
