Alex from Berlin promptly responded asking for photos on the bottle, straw and mouth peice which I supplied. A MUM has shared an urgent warning for other parents alongside a stomach-churning picture of her daughter's Air Up bottle. When it came to Air Up, we had an 11-person testing panel that consisted of consumers, dietitians, kitchen gear experts, an engineer and a chemist to gather over a hundred data points and collect some insightful feedback — including notes about taste and comfort during use. Ease of cleaning: Our experts found the stainless steel easier to clean because of the cap that screws off so you can fit your hand into the bottle; the plastic bottle was a little harder to clean and needed a bottle brush for easier cleaning.

Scents are available in variety packs that let you try five of the most popular, or you can purchase three-packs of your favorite scent.With the plastic bottle, we saw no issues after 15 minutes but noticed some leaking after 30 minutes. Selecting 'create my set' lets you pick from the above bottle options and then choose a flavour pack of pods to go with it. To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies. I don't know how disposable plastic pods, which can be recycled a maximum of two or three times (as with all recyclable plastics), can possibly be better than using fruit, which you can eat or put in your compost bin once you've used it to flavour your water. In both cases, one of the flavours was more dominant than the other (orange and lemon, respectively), but they gave my water a pleasant citrusy zing, and I enjoyed sipping away at those.

Drop testing: When we dropped the plastic Air Up water bottle about five feet onto hard concrete five times, the Tritan-based plastic did not shatter or break, but it did endure some deep scratches.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with our 2nd gen bottles 😔 We understand your frustration and we're here to help. Well my initial understanding of the bottle was that it was a hybrid flavoring using both something to change physical taste as well as scent to full send a particular flavor. We're thrilled to hear that air up® has become a helpful solution in boosting your water intake and making hydration enjoyable. We can report that we've observed similar results from other water bottles made of similar materials that we've tested. Make sure to keep pods inside their packaging as they cannot be cleaned and should be opened only before being placed on your water bottle.
