Review on BUILT Gramercy Double Wall Stainless Steel Bottle Blue 20oz: A Long-lasting and Stylish Hydration Solution - Item Code 5253189 by Cameron Chandra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice little bottle but drains the water very slowly

This is a really strong bottle that has been sealed up until now. It keeps the water cold and doesn't change its taste. The lid has venting, which I prefer, and the flip top seals it so it doesn't leak. This is my favorite lid design, but for some reason it's not very common. The handle is easy to grip (though not very ergonomic) and appears removable by loosening the screws that hold it. The size is perfect. I like a one liter bottle, but insulated bottles this size are too big to carry everywhere. it (although the lid is easy to clean, which makes everything easier). I have three Built items in their Living Coral color and all three are very different colors. One is plain orange, one is sort of a peach orange, and the third is a stunning coral orange. The finish is also different for everyone. If you're trying to put together the right set, you won't be able to stick to the name of the color. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the water just drips out of the cap when I try to take a sip (you can even hear the water coming out and air entering the bottle; it's a rhythmic ticking). It takes a LONG time to sip water from this bottle, so I drink a little instead and always seem to be gasping for air as well. I can't get a satisfying sip of water. I'm looking into this because I really like the size and other features, but I wish it worked better.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
