Kor One hydration vessel
20Jun08
Water is something that we can’t live without. I have always been surprised that an entire market has been created around selling something that is almost free. For those water snobs only a bottled water like Voss will do, but then there is the rest of us. Plastic water bottles have gotten a bad rap lately, which has helped out companies that make non plastic water bottles like Sigg. Well there is a new kid on the block, and they are here to show that not only can a plastic water bottle be healthy and environmentally responsible, it can look amazing too. The Kor One Hydration Vessel is a new water bottle which will be available soon. It’s BPA free, wide mouthed, and absolutely sexy. At $29 they aren’t cheap, but if you stopped buying bottled water and just filtered your own at home it would not only be better for the environment, but cheaper overall.
More pics after the jump.
Available in August from Kor for $29

These look really great, but they are still made of a plastic resin. It isn’t just the polycarbonate plastic that is bad. A lot of them are. Check out this link for more info:http://www.lifewithoutplastic.com/factsonplastic.htm
I chose to go with food grade stainless steel from kleankanteen.com
I love your website, you guys are great!
I agree with Daniel, although they look stylish, I’m avoiding plastic altogether. I did lots of research and dumped all of my plastic bottles and food storage containers. So what if they say some are safe and some aren’t… a year from now more research will come out saying “oops, they’re all bad”… so why not just avoid it altogether?
I went with stainless steel, too… but I really liked the SIGG designs (even tho’ those are aluminum), so I combined the coolness of the SIGG design with the safety of the Klean Kanteen stainless and got a hoppin’ designed stainless bottle with a cool old tree on it - here’s a photo:

I just love it, and wouldn’t go back to plastic anymore.
Randi from KOR…I think you will find that the KOR One is a very attractive and healthy solution to a growing problem. We are proud to offer a product that is BPA free. It also offers other health benefits, such as a wider mouth to drink out of. Can you believe it–the KOR one keeps you looking younger! Check out the new clip on our website about the “smokers lips” that people are getting by drinking from sports bottles and narrow spouted water bottles. (www.korwater.com look at the blogs) The KOR One has a nice wide opening, which can help to prevent these unsightly wrinkles. Stainless is fine but the KOR One is lovely to look at, easy to hold, and is designed with your health in mind–the best of all worlds.
